About "The Psychology of High School Students Under Stress"
The purpose of this research is to ultimately find the answer to how to build resiliency to all this stress. To figure that out we have to ask questions like -
- What is stress?
- What causes stress?
- What are the effects of this stress on the body, short term and long term?
- How bad can it get? (Differing levels of stress)
- And finally how do we solve this problem?
By asking these questions leading up to our main question, we build a foundation of research that helps us understand stress better. By understanding stress better, especially by finding out what causes it, we can figure out how to stop it before it becomes a serious problem. If we don't stop it before it becomes a problem then how do we stop it once it has become a problem so it doesn't get worse? These are the type of things we are going to find out and little by little, we will come up with a solution to stress.

About Me
My name is Renee Triller and I am a Senior part of the Rutland High School STEM Capstone Project. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. This project focuses on one of those aspects to obtain a better knowledge of it by researching it and then presenting our topic on it. We present on a blog as we conduct our research, on a website to present the finished product, then orally to explain what we have found. I have chosen science because I am very interested in psychology so the topic I have chosen is the Psychology of High School Students Under Stress. I experience, see, or hear about people under stress around me everyday. From the melodramatic students to the ones experiencing anxiety attacks, I've seen a large scale of stress and want to know what it causing it and how to fix it. There are also larger conditions like developing disorders, committing suicide, school shootings, and psychopathy that can result from stress. Unfortunately I know that things that cause stress don't just leave someones life and cannot be escaped so we have to figure out how to limit them or build resiliency to these stressors to prevent potential life threatening conditions.
