Stress is like your body’s alarm system. Sometimes, the same thing, like a loud noise or a tight deadline, keeps setting it off again and again because it becomes familiar. It's like your brain says, 'Oh no, this happened before, so I need to be ready for trouble.' That’s why you might get stressed out by the same things over and over.
Examples
- A kid gets scared every time they hear the school bell because it always means math class.
