Pressure Essay

 Pressure comes in many different shapes, sizes and forms. Some are given pressure from outside forces or by things they cant control. Some people fold under pressure and some can thrive


.






Pressure is a very powerful force and will make you or break you if you cant work under its weight. Some people cant support this weight and will crack if under too much or sometimes the pressure is so great that the person(s) will stop trying to reach their goal all together and completely drop what they are doing. There are the unfortunate people that are born with pressure known as disability that will have difficulty at most things in life and will need support doing certain things. These people have no way of relieving their pressure and must cope with it their entire lifetime. There is also pressure from your friends and peers known as peer-pressure that would make you do things you normally wouldnt do by yourself; for example 30% of teens try drugs while in highschool. This is because of a mindset where they believe if they dont do it their friends wouldnt be friends with them anymore which in most cases is ridiculous.  Often times we can create pressure from situations that normally would have no consequence.










Yet there is also types of pressure that can be in your favor and help you succeed. The pressure of a dance competition for example can give you adrenaline and actually help you to move faster or have better beat in your step, it can even help you preform moves you've never been able to do before. The pressure of a test such as a final exam can also be beneficial. It can motivate you to study your hardest and do the best you can, especially if your mark is lower. Even certain disabilities often mold people into great things; for instance Mozart and Einstein are now thought of to possibly have a place on the spectrum of autism. Pressure can help you meet your goals and even go past them, sometimes all it takes is a little self empowerment and an additional push.










If the pressure is coming from something that you have control over it can be a very helpful force, its all how you mold it into working with you and not against you. If you use your full potential while under this great force you can create/achieve greatness and succeed in what you are trying to accomplish. All it takes sometimes is a little added push, provided you are able to cope with it and not only be able to hold the weight but to be able to run with it. If your proverbial back isn't strong enough you have to find ways around it or people to support and help you. Pressure can also be a force that brings people together in times of struggle. The pressure of a family member that's near death can bring a family closer than ever before and greatly strengthen bonds.


Pressure is a force laying on the line of good and bad. sometimes its all how you deal with it and other times its an outside force that cant be fixed as easily. It can bring people together and tear them down. it constantly changes shapes and forms and can mold people into greatness.
