Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can't sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is．Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something．This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad．You may feel angry, sad, or afraid．
However, there are different kinds of stress．Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad．Good stress might happen when you are called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech．This kind of stress can help you get things better done．For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to study harder before the test．On the other hand, bad stress lasts too long．You may not feel happy if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you are having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day．That kind of stress isn't going to help you．And it can make you sick．
The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life．Sleep, exercise, leisure, and food．If you get enough sleep and eat well, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you will probably feel less stress．
