Stress is very unhealthy for everyone, it makes people very tired, emotional, and unable to perfom day-to-day tasks because they're stressing about something else.Stress can be caused from a heavy work load, upsetting or traumatizing events, if somethings not going your way etc. and it can be extremely hard to cope with. Some people turn to food, other people to different things, everyone has there own way. Stress is a part of life, some having much more then others. I believe stress makes you perform worse in life, but a little bit of stress can definetely encourage you to get things done and be succeful. It's all about how much stress you have, and how well you can handle it. If some one can handle stress well, then they will be extremely motivated and will probably work better vs. not having any stress at all.

Stress in group situations can be very difficult to cope with, especially when their isn't a prominent leader. It's very difficult to make decisions that every one agrees with, and stress can definetely tear apart a group. Each group member will have ideas but might be afraid to share and this will stress them out, and speaking from personal experience, it isn't easy to deal with. It's especially hard when you don't really know the people you're working with. Stress (depending on the people in the group)can help get a project done quicker, but that's only if the group members work really well together and get along.

I anticipate this novel being filled with a lot of stressful, but I am very excited to read it!
