A stressor I face in my life is seeing my ex bestfriends/friends in the halls. This stressor can affect me because It makes me think about when I was friends with them and all the memories and things we did together, and it starts to make me sad because deep down, I miss being friends with them, but on the other hand, they don't think what I think because they usually give me bad looks, roll their eyes, or whenever I walk past them they whisper in the other persons ear, or they even talk bad about me. A coping mechanism I use to help me with this stressor is I don't look at them, so they can't give me a bad look, and I can pretend their not there. A resource to help me with this stressor is the website, "Appa Chat". In this website you can talk to people about your problems in life, and they'll give you advice to try to help you. A "Walking in my heros shoes" Would be my mom. My mom is my hero she does everything for me she loves me so much, she cooks, she cleans, she helps me with homework, we go out together, we do laundry, I sometimes help her clean, and she teaches me how to do makeup. This is why my mom is my hero, if I were to ever be in her shoes for one day, I bet it would be really hard.

Another coping mechanism I use is I do deep breathing to help me not to think about it, and to get through it.
