Factors that can cause stress in a person 

There are various factors that can lead a person to stress. For example, students can have stress due to the many music, dance and various other competitive programs which are being broadcasted in television today. This has become the latest trend today and many parents in the hope of making their children an all-rounder, force them to participate in these competitions. This can give children a lot of stress especially the fear whether they will get eliminated from these competitions. Similarly, adults can also end up being stressed out due to excessive work pressure or financial problems. In short, everyone has to undergo through these stressful situations very often. So it's very important for a person to know how to deal with stress effectively.
