Introduction: 

Hook-> [put in something that people  can relate to] 

People complain about a lot of things everyday, but one thing that they all have a common complain about is stress. Before a year ago I didn't even know what people meant when they said they had stress, but in the past year I have experienced a lot. The stress started when I wanted to be in a relationship, but my parents wouldn't let me so I had one secretly which wasn't as fun because I had to lie and the guilt just ate me up. My grades in school were starting to drop and my parents thought it was due to the relationship that I had with this boy. I was getting way too feed up with my parents nagging me to get better grades, and to stop hanging out with the guy I liked. So that was what started my stress in the beginning, but then my boyfriend was getting tired of hiding from my parents so he told me that it just wasn't going to work out, and so we sort of mutually decided that it was time to split. I was very disappointed with this and I still am because as soon as we broke up after a long serious relationship he just gets right back up on his feet to go out with another girl. My life is not on the best situation right now which is effecting my performance in school and I know that some people think I am being a drama queen but hey think about how you felt after your first brake up. 

Motive-> Stress is a serious concept that people experience and they don't have anyone to talk with about their situation or they're too embarrassed to say anything. These people suffer from depression and anxiety keeping inside a huge amount of stress that they are faced with in their environment. [Put what other people say here] Stress is not something you can just get over in a day unless it's a minor occurrence to what happened that day. (expand on this)
Thesis-> People with stress should not feel that they have to hide because it can cause health problems that effect their interaction with the society.
