Now I'm stressed about the fact that I can get cancer from being stressed. Thanks, ASAP Science.

If school stresses you out and shrinks your brain cells, does that mean your intelligence decreases from stressing out over finals and tests and such. So technically school makes you less intelligent.

I have no friends and I'm constantly stressed from school/work.

#TBT  to the time where we wondered if you actually DIE from stress.

So true. I had cancer when I was a kid; one month after diagnosed, i had a stroke (because of PTSD). My brain shut down; I had to relearn how to walk/talk/write again; at age 11, I was a 2 year old. Btw; I love how you use the markers to illustrate! 😊👍🏻

1. Can your favorite song help you study?
2. What if music never existed?
3. Does having a pet make you more responsible? Because parents say you aren't responsible enough to have a pet, but doesn't a pet teach you responsibility?
4. Teachers say that if you sit down then it makes you focus, but from my experiences it makes the student tired. So should classrooms be more active?

I wish instead of going to school I could just watch these videos all day 😍

[FoxoticYoshi]

I knew school was bad for us! Exams give me way too much stress!
Video: Spend some time with those you love. 2:48
You kidding me, if I talk to my friends, I would get a phone call home!

I never knew stress could kill you! I remember in 6th grade my parents, school, and fighting were stressing me out really bad that morning out of no where my entire body stiffened I could barely speak or breathe for 2 minutes and I told my mom she's like "Tantrums can't kill you" LOL

I dont know if it's just me.. but I find these videos really up-lifting.. maybe its the music, and his soothing voice.

It's amazing how much mental stimuli can affect us physically. Stress runs rampant these days, but there are ways to manage it when you understand what's going on in your brain!

[aylayzrianne]

This worries me. I have depression and anxiety, and often I can't control them when they come. I don't want to actually die from it :(
