These days, the number of study on how to deal with stress has been increasing. An ongoing debate exists on whether spending time alone is the best way to relax and reduce stress or not. Regarding this controversial issue, I strongly support that spending time with others is more desirable way to cope with stress than staying alone. The reason behind this is that teachers can help us to reduce stress. Additionally, people can have happier lives spending time with friends and thus the stress become reduced.
To begin with, teachers help us to relax and reduce stress so that we are more likely to relax when spending time with teachers. This is because most students are so immature that they might not be able to find the way to overcome hardships or problems, the cause of their stress. The only thing students can do is just to sigh and regret their wrong doings, which make it more difficult to relax and resolve the problem. On the other hand, teachers who have more insights into life and watch students carefully can be of great help, because they can motivate students to fix the problems and help them to be relaxed and comfortable. For instance, when I was in the high school, I had a friend who was in trouble because of other friends' bulling at school. As he could not find the way, he just felt stressed from others' offensive behaviors. However, my teacher treated the measure behind him and helped him to feel confidence and comfortable to spend his time in the classroom. If he had carried on his problems and worriness alone, he could not have overcome his stress.
Further, the time on spending with friends is more exhilarating. Some people may argue that they had better go home and relax by themselves. However, soon after they become alone, they cannot bear this tedious situation and gain more stress with their lonely emotions. On the contrary, they pack together with friends and talk to each other, which reduce tension and help to reduce stress. According to the report released by the National Psychology Institute of Korea, people are more likely to feel depress when they are alone than when they are surrounded with people. Interestingly, the report suggests that speaking out and laugh with others is recommended to relax and reduce stress. Consequently, a happy time with friends is the most effective way to deal with stress.
In a nutshell, I have doubt that spending time with others is better off to relax and reduce stress rather than spending time alone. This is because people are given direct solutions to release stress by spending with teachers. What's more, people can release stress more with spending fun time with friends. All in all, the influence of people around us should be not overlooked when we strive to find the way to keep our mind healthy. |
