             Many people can become stressed out for different reasons, but most people have some common stresses in their lives. One of the biggest stressors is the workplace. With deadlines, noise and having to be worried about being fired its no wonder people become stressed out because of work. Or if you are in school the same things apply having deadlines and grades to worry about can add stress to you no matter what grade level you are in. But an additional stress school can give is finical if your grades drop u might loose your scholarship and have to pay your way through. Another big one is traffic, the fumes and noise and bad drivers can really pile on the stress.
