Some children can develop anti-social tendencies leading to criminal behavior and some just withdraw from society as a whole.
The genital stage is the final stage of development and the individual is involved in the creation and enhancement of their life. The attraction to the opposite sex becomes stronger and the welfare of others takes a priority in our lives. Stress during the early years of this stage can affect the person's self-esteem and cause them to fear rejection or lack self-confidence. This will affect relationships, jobs, and all aspects of the young adult life.
Stress has led many people to become addicted to alcohol or drugs as a means to cope with the ups and downs of teen and adult life. Stress in today's society and the peer pressure that has caused younger children to have to address stressful situations at an earlier age such as single parent and broken up families, lack of supervision, and other such situations, has lead to the usage of drugs by children in elementary and junior high school.
Stresses experienced by the college student are another area where many have turned to alcohol or drugs to cope with the demands of college work and schedules. In the article, "Five-Minute Stress Management Techniques Any Nursing Student Can Teach," Beck and associates declare, "Persons experiencing stress may engage in poor health practices as a way to cope. These practices may include smoking, drinking alcohol, poor eating habits, poor exercise, and sleep loss" (Beck, et al., 2010). Since nursing students deal with healthcare and are students, they were challenged with developing a solution to the unhealthy aspects of stress. The results were:
After identifying themselves, the nursing students offered information...
They offered the campus students stress management information using the pamphlet they had developed. They briefly reviewed the information on the pamphlet and encouraged the students to access the web sites that were identified on the pamphlet for more information. The pamphlet included information about touch therapy massage, sleep hygiene, deep breathing, stretching, exercise, visual imagery, and the effects of alcohol on nutrition. The nursing students also provided information about campus resources for counseling and support (Beck, et al., 2010).
Conclusion
Stress plays a vital role in all areas of the human body and development. This paper barely touched on the seriousness or the role of stress that affects all humans in various ways. The stressful events, experienced by a child, affect the way the child looks at the world and copes with the situations that arise.
The information on stress is very extensive and more research and a longer paper are required to accurately do justice to the topic of stress and the ways to cope with it.

Stress Management in the Caregiver Setting An increasing body of evidence points to the intensity of the labor involved in caring, and the impact it has on the caregiver in a healthcare setting. Whether lay or professional, it seems that the potential for suffering among caregivers is enormous. When a person reaches a state of physical, emotional or mental exhaustion, burnout occurs, and it appears to affect both lay and professional

Such recent findings suggest that victims of stress may in fact suffer from a neurological disorder rather than just from a character flaw, mental weakness, or bad luck. Chronic stress can impact individual perception and thinking in significant ways. Research in cognitive neuropsychology has been particularly helpful in identifying some of
Stress is an unavoidable fact of life, yet, what precisely is stress? It is essentially one of those things that we all have but that we all have difficulty defining and explaining. The one unarguable fact is that we all have it in our lives and, without it, our lives would be much different. If fact, the only way that one's life can be entirely stress free is upon death.
This occurs when people experience feelings of terror and helplessness during a trauma and then has recurrent flashbacks, nightmares, impaired concentration and emotional numbing afterwards. Some victims of this disorder turn to alcohol or other drugs which do nothing accept compound the problem. It is thought that approximately 10% of Americans have had or will have this disorder at some point in their lifetime (Carpenter and Huffman, 2008). Since it
Our findings show that social and psychological aspects of work situations are indeed significant risk factors for coronary heart disease, but not in the manner that might initially be supposed. While the psychological demands of work, along with time pressures and conflicts, are found to be significant sources of risk in many of our studies, work that is demanding (within limits) is not the major source of risk.
