LESSON 1: COPING WITH STRESS IN
MIDDLE AND LATE ADOLESCENCE
What is Stress and how does it affect you?
 Stress is a physical, mental, or emotional tension
resulting from unfriendly or very demanding
circumstances. It is the body’s response to a
threatening situation or change.
 Stress can come from any event or thought that
makes you feel frustrated, angry or nervous.
Q: But do you think that stress is always something
negative? Actually, stress can either be negative or
positive.
THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF STRESS
– EUSTRESS AND DISTRESS
1. Eustress refers to a positive and healthy
response of the body from a stressor .It
produces good feelings to one’s well-being.

Example:
a student who studied so hard for the
examination then took and got an outstanding
grade in it, he may feel happiness and
enjoyment.
2. Distress refers to a negative reaction of the body
towards a given stressor.

For example:
when a student failed in his subject he may
experience sadness and disappointment.

Stressors are the things that make a person


stressed.

pains, rapid heartbeat, insomnia, frequent colds and
infections, and loss of sexual desire and/or ability.
