Stress and its Effects on Young People Today

What is stress?
            Stress is pressure or tension exerted on a material object, or in my words, something that gives me white hair, headaches, and ugly pimples on my face. I guess it effects us young people because we have to deal with school, family, and peer pressure. I know adults have to deal with so much stress than us teens, but I feel it's different because, usually, they're stress is cause by taxes and bill. For us young people, our stress is more difficult to deal with because we have stress from other people and on top of that the adults that have stress take their stress out on us young people. Do you get me? Oh my goodness. It just stresses us young people out even more. It effects us like we can barely sleep at night. We have things due the same day. There aren't enough hours in a day to complete our homework or projects or some other stuff. Top that off we get peer pressure and that stresses out even more. The feeling of trying to please someone so they would except you. In these days, teens would do anything just so they could feel like they're wanted. 
What stresses me out?
            Well, there can be a really long list for this, but unfortunately I can not type for that long. Oh, boo hoo. Anyways, what stresses me out is school. Of course. It stresses me out by giving all these honors classes first, even when I didn't really sign up for it, but now I am actually pretty glad I got honors classes. It helped shaped me into a more responsible student, but the work is EXHAUSTING. Another thing that stresses me out, is my home. When I'm at home, I can barely rest. I have daily chores to do. I wouldn't even consider them as chores. It's like a routine. I have to do those stuff, if I don't than I don't even know. I have my sisters always bothering me. I try to help them and stuff, but somehow all the things they ask me to do is just too much. I have homework, they have homework. They need help with their homework, I have to stop what I'm doing and help them first. Sometimes, I don't have enough time to finish my homework before dinner, so I have to stay up to finish it. Then when I do stay up late to finish my homework, my father gets angry at me and I can't finish my homework. I feel like when I'm at home, I have more stress than I have here at school. I think it's mostly my dad who gives me stress, because he doesn't understand me and what I go through.
