I scored a 14 out of 24 on the stress quiz.. so I guess you could imagine that that means I am quite stressed.  am stressed out for a lot of reasons. I would have to say the main reason is because of family and growing up in a broken home. I've pretty much been raised just by mom. You could say that that in itself is pretty stressful considering we are both hard headed and tend to butt heads often. Not to mention that not really having my dad around weighs on me heavy too. I have a few different methods of relieving this weight of stress. One of the main ways I relieve stress is staying busy. I like staying busy because it allows me to take my mind of things that are bothering or stressing me out. Simple things like being with friends and people that care about me or make me laugh or that I can relate too. Also, working out and being active is another huge way of me relieving stress. When I'm lifting weights, running, or  any other form of exercise, it feels like everything disappears. I feel as of nothing exists in that moment of me working out, nothing can break me down except my own will not to push through.  Same thing with my sports. When I step on that field, court, or into the weight-room, everything is gone, all my problems, are gone for that period of time. Last, but certainly not least, is that music is a huge stress reliever to me. Music in any form to me is so awesome and just really centers me with my emotions.
