"BBC NEWS | Health | Young adults 'anxiety overload'" BBC NEWS | News Front Page. Web. 04 Oct. 2009. .

It seems as if economy has not only affect those who are well established in life, but it has also reach the college campuses. In a recent study it has been shown that many young adults between the ages of 18-24 years old, carry a very high stress level. The study show that 66% of young adults between the ages of 18-24 years old stress out at least once a week over financial issues and job worries. It seems as if those two, financial and job worries, are the top tow issues young adults between the ages of 18-24 years old face.
Stress is not good for anyone let alone young adults who have their whole lives ahead of them! A recent study has broken down the different anxiety causing problems: money worries 45%, job prospects 33%, and pressures from school or university 29%. What makes this a big issue is how the people are handling their issues. Rather than discussing their problems, they are keeping their feelings bottled up. Over 31% of individuals surveyed said that they keep all of their anxiety issues to themselves. The study also showed that women have been found to stress more often then men, one in three women feel stressed, compared to one in ten men.
