What is stress?

Stress is a thing that you cannot get rid off, it follows you everywhere no matter how happy you are or how much money you make, or if you like your job or not. Of course those factors do make the stress higher but they are not the main reason. There are many rules and expectations that you have to follow and or meet, and sometimes you cannot deal with everything at the same time. I have a high level of stress right now because I am at a point in my life in which I have to make decision.  I am a senior in High School having hard classes and working after school, this plays a role in stress because I wake up in the morning and I run everywhere I run to class, I do all my work, I tutor in second block, then pre-calculus which is awful, right after I get out I come to work and do paper work, scan papers, translate papers. Finally 6:30 go home, have dinner and then I have 4 online classes which give me a lot of work every single day. I usually finish my homework about 12:30 or so and then go to bed and the next morning all over again. Oh, and don't forget about cleaning this, cleaning that! This is very stressing and I realize that the amount of stress is high but there are many people that suffer more stress than me.
