We are all different and we have all learnt to respond differently to situations that make us feel angry or worried or overloaded - This means that some people will become highly stressed about things that might not worry other people like:
- exams
- arguments
- homework being harassed
- being left out of a group
- a new school
- being late
- girl friends / boy friends
- a new baby in the family
- moving house
- going to the dentist
- a job interview, or
- taking on a new responsibility

Crises like being around when there is a bushfire, cyclone or earthquake, or living through a drought (especially for country people) are very stressful for everyone.
Our coping skills are something we have learnt, usually from our parents. Because they are learnt, this means that we can all learn and take on new coping skills to increase our coping capcity and deal with stress better.
