The survey was conduced for the Associated Press and MTVU, a
4、television network available at many colleges and universities. Students Stress Problem Four in 10, students say they endure stress often. Nearly one in five say they feel it all or most of the time. But most are bearing it. Nearly 60% in the survey say they enjoy life. The majority cite classic str
5、ess symptoms including trouble concentrating, sleeping and finding motivation. Most say they have also been disturbed, worried, too tired to Work. “Everything is being piled on at once,“ said Chris Curran, a junior at the Albany College of Pharmacy (制药 ) in Albany, N.Y He said he has learned to cope
6、 better since starting school. “You just get really disturbed and anxious. Then you start procrastinating (拖延 ), and it all piles up.“ Many cite eating problems and say they have felt lonely, depressed, like they are failures. Substantial numbers are even concerned about spring break, chiefly not ha
7、ving enough money or being in good physical shape. More than a quarter of the students sometimes think they should cut down on drinking or going out. A third say they sometimes want to use drugs or alcohol to relax. About 15% say theyre at least somewhat concerned about drinking too much on spring b
8、reak One in five say they have felt too stressed to do schoolwork or be with friends. About the same number say things have been so bad in the past three months that they have seriously considered dropping out of school. Darker still, about one in six say they have friends who in the past year have
9、discussed committing suicide, and about one in 10 say they have seriously considered it themselves. Friends have actually tried to end their lives in that time, one in 10 say. In this ocean of campus anxiety, 13% say they have been diagnosed with a mental health condition such as depression or an an
10、xiety disorder. Of that group, two-thirds say they always or usually follow their treatment, one-tenth say they have been unable to stick to it, and the rest are not on a plan. The perils (危险 ) of halting treatment were highlighted last month when police said the girlfriend of Steven Kazmierczak, wh
11、o fatally shot five people and then himself at Northern Illinois University, told them he had stopped taking medication. Six in 10 in the survey say they are usually hopeful and enjoy life. Half even concede they feel understood by their families. What Causes the Stress Problem Even so, the survey s
12、hows plenty of sources of stress, led by the seven in 10 students who attribute it to school work and grades. Financial problems are close behind, while relationships and dating, family problems and extracurricular activities all are named by half as adding pressure. College women have a more stress
13、ful existence than men, with 45% of females and 34% of males saying they face pressure often. The youngest students cite frequent stress most often. Whites report more stress than blacks and Hispanics. From schoolwork to dating, women are more possible than men to say they experience pressure from v
14、irtually every potential source of distress in the survey. Six in l0 women and just four in 10 men say family issues cause problems, though the differences between the sexes in most areas are slimmer. Besides balancing her approaching graduation with the 20-hour-per-week job that helps finance schoo
15、l, Jeanette Devereaux-Weber said she has a new pressure: beginning her post-college life. She has not decided what to do.“ It doesnt feel like looking for a summer job anymore, its looking for a career, its things that will shape everything to come,“ she said. “Sometimes it feels like you have to ma
16、ke the right choice right away or you will be behind everyone else.“ How to Solve the Stress Problem The poll shows a spotty sense among students of how to find assistant6 handling pressure. Just over half say they are sure whom they would turn to for help. Only one in seven say they were very famil
17、iar with the counseling offered at their schools. Overall, 26% of students say they have considered talking to a counselor or getting other professional help. Just 15% say they have actually done so. Professional help, though, is not on a top students lists when they need help. Three-quarters say th
18、ey would be most likely to turn to friends; nearly two-thirds cite their parents and half say they would talk to brothers or sisters. Only one in five say they would seek out school counselors. Of the 9% who said they had considered suicide in the past year, only half said they had considered talkin
19、g to a counselor or professional and four in 10 had actually received such help. While 11% said they had friends who had tried committing suicide in the past year, that doesnt mean there have been that many attempts because many people often know each individual who has tried. According to the most
20、recent figures from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, far less than one of every 100 people aged 18 to 24 tried to injure himself in 2006. However, the number is less than one of every 1000 people of that age in 2005. How is the Survey Conducted? The survey was conducted by Edi
