Stress – Burnt Out

This is a story about how a NSW student ‘Daniel’ handled the pressure of year 12. Daniel in year 11 currently is doing year 12 work at the beginning of term 4, and basically this contributes to his final HSC mark in year 12. A lot of people including him are panicking about the situation because it is the ‘real thing’. Daniel finds it very difficult to take information in, in most subject, but especially business studies, modern history and math. He was burnt out because everything is closer to year 12. He was busy enough since he had 7 subjects, external pressures, parents arguing and other personal issues.

Daniel talked to his year adviser which gave him advice to talk to his school counselor which he did. The school counselor explained there are many options: special provisions for exams, temporary emergency accommodation, and mid-long term accommodation.

Year 12 starts the following year and Daniel comes back refreshed and not stressed even though it is year 12.
