Setting: Ruang kelas setelah menonton video "Stress at School".

Characters: Anisa, Isa, Rezky, Yuna, Maulidina, Chyntia

Anisa: I found the video really relatable. I often feel overwhelmed by schoolwork and extracurricular
activities.
Isa: Me too. I think the pressure to get good grades can be really stressful.
Rezky: I agree. But don't you think having high grades can open up more opportunities in the future?
Yuna: Definitely. But I also think there's more to life than just grades. Like Adisa in the video, we
should focus on our passions and find what truly makes us happy.
Maulidina: I wonder if the school system is designed to make us feel stressed. Maybe there's a way
to make learning more enjoyable.
Chyntia: I think it's important to find a balance between academics and our personal lives. We should
also talk to our teachers or counselors if we're feeling stressed.
Anisa: I know, right? Sometimes it feels like there's just too much on our plates.
Isa: And when you compare yourself to others, it can make you feel even worse.
Rezky: I guess you have a point. But what about the pressure from parents and teachers? They often
expect us to do our best.
Yuna: I understand that, but we also need to take care of our mental health. If we're constantly
stressed, we won't be able to perform at our best anyway.
Maulidina: Maybe we could talk to our teachers about this and suggest some changes. Like, maybe
we could have more breaks or fewer assignments.
Chyntia: That's a good idea. We could also try to create a more supportive learning environment in
our class.
Anisa: I like that idea. Maybe we could start a study group or something.
Isa: Or we could just spend more time talking to each other about what we're going through.
Rezky: I think it's important to remember that we're not alone in this. Everyone experiences stress at
some point in their lives.
Yuna: Exactly. And it's okay to ask for help when we need it.
Maulidina: So, what are some things that you guys do to relax and de-stress?
Chyntia: I like to listen to music or go for a walk. Sometimes, I'll just write in my journal.
Anisa: I like to draw. It helps me to clear my head.
Isa: I enjoy playing video games. It's a good way to escape from reality for a while.
Rezky: I like to spend time with my friends and family. They always make me feel better.
Yuna: I do yoga. It helps me to relax my body and mind.
Maulidina: I like to read. It's a great way to learn new things and escape into another world.
Chyntia: Well, it seems like we all have our own ways of coping with stress. Maybe we can share
more tips with each other next time.

Stress is a multifaceted phenomenon that is a normal part of the human experience. It is
characterized by a complex interplay of physiological and psychological responses to perceived
threats or demands. These responses can range from mild anxiety and irritability to more severe
symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. While acute stress can be
beneficial, serving as a motivator and enhancing performance, chronic stress can have detrimental
effects on both physical and mental health. It can weaken the immune system, increase the risk of
heart disease, and contribute to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Understanding
the nature of stress and developing effective coping mechanisms, such as mindfulness, meditation,
and physical exercise, is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and mitigating the negative
impacts of stress.

When faced with a stressful situation, our body undergoes a complex physiological response known
as the "fight or flight" response. This response is triggered by the activation of the sympathetic
nervous system, which mobilizes the body's resources by releasing stress hormones such as cortisol
and adrenaline. These hormones prepare the body for action by increasing heart rate, blood
pressure, and muscle tension, among other physiological changes. While this response was essential
for our survival in ancient times, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on our health and well-
being.

Stress can manifest in a variety of physical and psychological symptoms. If stress persists, it can lead
to headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, changes in appetite, and even more serious
conditions like cardiovascular problems, gastrointestinal disorders, and impaired immune function.
Prolonged stress can also impact mental health, leading to irritability, difficulty concentrating,
anxiety, and depression.

Stress can originate from various sources, both internal and external. These stressors can range from
major life events like job loss, divorce, or illness, to daily hassles such as traffic jams, noise pollution,
or deadlines. Additionally, psychological factors like work overload, interpersonal conflict, and
financial worries can contribute to stress. It's important to recognize that stress can come from all
areas of our lives, including personal relationships, work, school, and physical health.

Stress is a natural part of human experience, but it's important to find a balance. While a certain
level of stress can motivate us and improve performance, chronic stress can have detrimental effects
on our physical and mental health. Fortunately, there are various effective stress management
techniques available. By developing healthy coping mechanisms such as mindfulness, meditation,
and physical exercise, individuals can reduce the negative impact of stress and enhance their overall
well-being.
