Dealing with stress is a top topic of concern to young people. Stress has a harmful influence on
their study and health. According to an OECD survey, nearly half(47%) of Australian students feel
very anxious when they study, compared to the international number of 37%. 67% of Australian
students say they feel very nervous even if they re well-prepared for a test. And the international number
of that is 56%(64% for girls and 47% for boys).
It is important that schools teach students how to recognize and best manage stress. These skills
will continue to do good to them throughout their lives. School-based stress management programs, such
as yoga(瑜伽) programs, have proven to be helpful in the United States. Similar programs will bring
advantages to Australian school children.
Schools can better support students by providing yoga programs. And among them, mindfulness practice
is the most common. Mindfulness practice requires people to pay attention to the present moment and realize
and accept feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations as they really are. It improves the ability to get used to
new environments for the first-year college students. They will also feel less stressed about schoolwork.
In high schools, students believe mindfulness-based yoga programs can improve memory, grades,
and their abilities to control their feelings. Students also think yoga could make them less interested in
smoking and drinking and increase connection with family and friends. In fact, at home, parents can
consider practicing mindfulness together with their kids. They can turn to online yoga programs and
apps, such as Headspace and Smiling Mind.
Given the above facts, offering yoga programs in schools may help young people learn to manage
stress better. (广东省揭阳市 2022—2023 学年高二上学期 12 月月考)
