i was wondering if you could help me on my cause and effect paper about stress?

One might be dealing with a difficult situation in their life, which leads the person to start thinking of reasons why it happened. For example, senior year of school most students are filling out applications for scholarships. With these scholarships come essays you have to write before a certain date. To most students this date comes fast, and they have not written the essay in time, which leads them to become stressed out. Stress is the body's reaction to a change that requires a physical or emotional adjustment. No matter the age, everybody deals with some type of stress in their life. Considering everybody deals with puzzling matters everyday. Stress leads to many negative effects that could be either short or long-termed.

What stress does to most people may not produce the same effect on others. Some might see what happens to them as a positive effect of stress, others negative. Some people go with the flow, while others fall apart at the slightest obstacle of stress. The outlook that a person has on life tends to be how that person can deal with stress. Considering the effects, they could either be muscle pains or spasms, sickness and diseases, or they could suffer heart problems. Stressors an activity, event, or other stimulus that causes stress, may cause more, which could lead to unhealthy habits.

Major short-term effects of stress is moodiness, depression, muscle tension, separation from others, and certain sicknesses. Some people suffer symptoms of alarm and adrenaline production that lead to their internal effects of stress. People with psychological stress are more prone to develop colds and other sicknesses, because . Stress that continues without relief can lead to distress, or pressure in a situation, is a negative stress reaction leading the body to become unable to relax or sleep. Other short term effects of stress are physical deformities of the skin. Some skin deformities include rashes, hives, wrinkles, and pimples. People might get these because they are Internal factors determine the body's ability to deal with the external factors that cause stress.

When the body keeps changing and dealing with the same stressor it is the persistent long-term stress. Long term events like a divorce, the effects of the job, death in the family, and the difficulties that one deals with on a daily basis include the external stress effects. As a result, a person could become excluded from others by reacting badly to what they say. Job stress is the leading source from which most of a person's stress comes. For example, a person fails an exam for a job. That person then becomes stressed because he or she was not able to get the job and there is no way of earning money to buy everyday necessities. Another example, school-related stress, can be related to taking too many courses, and being involved in numerous extracurricular activities. The resulting effects of this are illness, lower grades, family problems, or even dropping out. Whether negative or positive, short or long-termed stress affects many people.

Negative or positive situations can all lead to someone to become alarmed. Stress tends to affect one's body and health in different ways. Most visits to a doctors' office are said to be stress related, and it is important to figure out the priorities and how to manage them. Controlling how much stress affects ones own self can help that person deal with stress. Managing stress is all about taking charge: taking charge of thoughts, emotions, schedules, and the way one deals with problems. By figuring out these priorities, one can gain more time to work on fulfilling the duties of everyday to the fullest, so that he or she will not become stressed.

I like this topic. Are you writing this for a psych class? Since you mention "cause and effect," I would start by establishing some understanding about both (what causes stress and its effects.) Are you asked for a personal opinion or mainly citing academic research?

Once you have defined both, you will need to make an outline of your "thesis" concluding your findings on the effects of stress. Then a wrap up conclusion is appropriate.

That's all you have to do.

I would start with my own definition and understanding of what is stress and the cause and effect of stress.
Write the body about you own experience.
In the conclusion, you should put your opinion about it and how you think it should be addressed.

I would suggest you to add some of your own personal experience to it, specially at the begining to hook the reader.

You could go down all kinds of avenues with this one. Make out a list of common causes of stress and a separate list on effects of stress. If you wanted to be appropriate for the times, you could even go as deep as referring to stresses of the "Straw Man." That being our "Corporate Identity" given at birth and how all debts, taxes, etc. are charged though this is not YOU. With the whole economic downfall recently this has been a cause of a lot of stress for people all over the world and here in our own backyard. Many people stress about money, debts, etc. though is is all a blinded hallucination of commerce. Is this right or wrong? argue a point. Think that could take up a whole essay in itself but you could keep as one of your points and make it a paragraph...

You could talke about the extremes of stress. Such as post traumatic stress disorder, which is experienced by soldiers, policemen, and even people in traumatic accidents.

i have written this paper for my English class:

One might be dealing with a difficult situation in their life, which leads the person to start thinking of reasons why it happened.

It's tough when you say "One ---> their" because their is plural.
It's tough also when you say "Someone ---- their"
For good writing style, you might want to say:
One might be dealing with a difficult situation in his or her life, which leads the person to start a process of thinking about reasons why it happened.

I just took out some words above and made a slight change.

Down here, I'll just take a word out, too. Sometimes less is more:
No matter the age, everybody deals with some type of stress in their life.

This has to be one big sentence:
Considering everybody deals with puzzling matters everyday, st ress leads to many negative effects that could be either short or long-termed.

Major short-term effects of stress is are (or "include") moodiness, depression, muscle tension, separation from others, and certain sicknesses.

When the body keeps changing and dealing is continuously exposed to the same stressor it is the persistent long-term stress.

Here is another way to improve this sentence:
Considering the fact that everybody deals with puzzling matters everyday, it is no surprise that stress leads to many negative effects that could be either short or long-termed.
