  1. Mdm 4U Summative“Pressure Felt by school students” By: Matthew Clark

  2. Introduction For my summative topic I asked the question “How much pressure do teens feel in life because of the work they have to do at school and, how the stress that this pressure causes affects the lives of students”. In the following pages I covered these topics. • What stress is and the negative side effects of it • The pressure felt by different age groups. • How the different genders handle the pressure

  3. Background Information Stress or pressure is defined as: ” physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension.” Studies done by the Olin Health Center show side effects of these types of stress can be and include head aches, muscle tension, depression, anger, sleep disturbances, feelings of exhaustion/ fatigue, upset stomach, being irate, hostility, loss of appetite, diarrhea, teeth grinding, and withdrawal to name just some of the possible symptoms that can be caused by excessive stress or pressure.

  4. Analysis -In my research I found that 44% of Males age 18 felt pressured a lot by school work and only 11% felt no pressure at all. -While 48% of Females age 18 saw a 4% increase from the males felt a lot of pressure and only 7% felt no pressure at All.

  5. Analysis -In the following graph we see that as age in males increased those who felt a lot of pressure increased from 16% to 44%. -In the second graph we see the same thing happening with the females With an percent change from 18% to 48% who felt a lot of pressure.

  6. Conclusion -From this data we can conclude that as students get older the more pressure they feel from their school work. This in turn leads to an increase in stress, which could lead to symptoms mentioned before and have a negative impact on the student and the quality of their work. We can also conclude that although most males feel just as much pressure in their work as females, females tended to feel slightly higher levels of pressure than males from their schoolwork.
