Everybody gets stressed from time to time. Different people feel stressed in different ways. Some ways of dealing with stress-like screaming or hitting someone-don't solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, or even a beloved pet, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
Get support. When you need help, talk to a trusted person, such as a parent or a friend. They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a lovely pet.
Don't take it out on yourself(拿自己出气). Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough(倒霉的)situation.
Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business. You need to figure out what the problem is. Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.
Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的). If you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster.
These steps aren't magic, but they do work. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.
