How to Reduce the Pressure Nowadays more and more middle school students are getting stressed in their studies. In order to find out good ways to reduce the stress, we made a survey among 100 students in our schools last week. About thirty-five percent of the students get relaxed by doing sports. Another forty—five percent of them make their stress less by listening to music. The rest usually get help from their teacher. They often have a talk with their teacher. When I’m stressed, I usually play sports. Then I’ll have a good sleep. In this way, I’ll feel relaxed and forget all about my worries.
