Sorry about the disappointment, however in the title for the document it very clearly states that the notes are only for term 1 and 2 . I was certain to make this clear.

LIFE ORIENTATION NOTES


TERM ONE
TOPIC 1: STRESS
Stressors: anything (events, situations, relationships) that causes stress in a
person.

 Physical stressors : stressors can have a physical effect on the body and
cause the releasing of the hormone, adrenaline
 feeling unsafe where you live
 worrying about your health (contracting HIV etc.)
 being pregnant or impregnating others

 Emotional stressors
 Lack of physical self-confidence
 not fitting in with peers
 fighting with friends
 having no friends
 identity issues
 suffering from depression

 Social stressors: this may especially affect teenagers at the end of the year
in comparison to adults. mainly due to academic and future
goals/expectations
 Not being able to afford tertiary study
 Moving houses
 Starting new school
 Running a child-headed household
 Setting unrealistic goals and/or expectations
 Concern about an uncertain future after school
 Being rejected by peers
 Having an unstable or unsupportive family who cannot cope with
their own stress

,  Environmental stressors: challenges/stressors arising from socio-economic
factors
 Parents divorcing/separating
 Death of a family member/friend
 Physical, verbal, cyber, emotional abuse (e.g. Rape, bullying)
 Damage/theft to house or personal belonging

Positive stress
 Stress isn’t always a bad thing. It can aid in decision making, adaption to
daily routine, changing lifestyle and respond to threatening situations.
 Most major events in life result in stress (love, marriage, employment) and
this stress may create challenges that encourage you to take risks or change
life for the better.
 Stress becomes unhealthy when we are unable to manage it. It then
becomes distress.

GOOD COPING MECHANISMS FOR STRESS
 Exercise regularly
 Balanced diet + enough water
 Plan a time table and consistently work hand throughout the year
 Build a support system of people you can talk to about your stress
 Make positive changes I he areas causing you stress
 Accept that sometimes you cannot give off your best and learn from
mistakes
 Be proactive ( control a situation by causing something to happen rather
than reacting to an unplanned situation)
 Ask for help
 Avoid those who influence you negatively and sway you from your goals
 Prioritize your life and find a balance between academics, sport, family and
friends.

BAD COPING MECHANISMS FOR STRESS
 Substance abuse  Taking anger out on others
 Over/under eating  Withdrawing from friends/ family
 Procrastinating  Spending hours with phone, tv, or
 Sleeping too much computer

, CONFLICT
Conflict is an emotive (sensitive and related to feelings) concept that everyone
experiences differently.
Interpersonal conflict: conflict between relationships with others
Intrapersonal conflict: conflict between our feelings with ourselves. Often
resolved through counselling with friends/ professionals.

Steps for resolving conflict
1) Cool off
Conflict cannot be resolved when one or both parties involved are in a rage
of emotions. It inhibits effective communication and may cause someone to
say something that is too mean

2) Use “I” messages to say what is bothering you
This means say to start your sentences with you as the subject. E.g. “I was
just annoyed you came home later than we agreed” vs. “You always come
home late and you didn’t even tell me!”
You need to be non-combative (peaceful/unwilling to fight) and not be
accusing, sarcastic, or use negative body language

3) Each person restates what they heard the other say to them
This ensures that you don’t just listen to your point of view and that you
hear each other out.

4) Take responsibility
Both parties have to admit to some degree of responsibility to make way
for a resolution

5) Think of a solution that benefits both parties

6) Affirm, forgive, or thank
Thanking the person acknowledges them for working towards a solution
with you and sends a message of conciliation (to end a disagreement)
