At present, it is neither the work stress, nor the social conflicts, nor is the financial crisis that is haunting every person’s mind. The relevant question that remains unanswered is “Are we really safe?” There is an old saying “One man willing to throw his life away is enough to terrorize thousands”.

‘Youngsters indulge into bad habit to attract the attention of society.’ All practices like alcoholism, smoking and drug - addiction are adopted either to resolve mental stress and other emotional problems or as part of trend among peer mates.

LOL. This is a typical term used in our daily online conversations with friends and strangers. Laugh Out Loud. But how often do we actually do that? Not all our problems have a solution; we are not always provided with a direction to find a way out of distress. If words cannot console us, laughter can.

For nearly all US college students, summer vacation is nearly over. But for many of them, “vacation” is a bit of a misnomer. Plenty of college students have spent the past three months as busy as ever: slaving away at competitive internships, for example, or taking summer classes to “get ahead” academically.

Plenty of things happened this week for which I’m thankful. I talked to two of my favorite editors, spent some much needed time with a loved one, realized there was more money in the bank than I thought, and helped someone find a job.

Coming back from college a few days back I realized my inbox was flooded with similar messages talking about a bomb scare in the town. Chief locations like the South City Mall and Salt Lake had been mentioned in the threat note.

Some teens today are doing so much, they stress themselves out to the point of, well, engaging in unhealthy behavior. Is this “new” though, or just something a lot of teens have done (and it’s simply now getting more attention)? The Washington Post has the story earlier this week.

I’m happy to announce that I’ve just signed on as a “networking expert” with Campus Calm, a website that promises to help college students manage their stress and personal well-being. The site was founded by Maria Pascucci, a reformed “stressaholic and perfectionist,” who had the brilliant idea to provide a forum and tools for college students dealing with stress.
