One possible version:

Stress is an inevitable part in our normal life. It may result from the small things, such as having too many things to do in a limited time, others’ comment, and being unable to get along with friends. Besides, the great burden of study, failure in exams as well as parents and teachers’ expectation also leave us under great pressure.

On one hand, stress can inspire our potential so that we can grasp the opportunity to finish the challenging work. On the other hand, too much stress can affect our physical and mental well-being. If the stress lasts a long time, it may cause headaches, insomnia, high blood pressure, even heart disease. It also keeps us in depression.

When stress does occur, it's important to recognize and deal with it. A large number of physical activities can reduce anxiety. Sharing our stress with others can be greatly helpful. Making time for fun, such as listening to music, may be good medicine. Sometimes even crying is an efficient way to release stress.
