There are many different stressors that children face, as a child I faced the stressor of my mom being sick with cancer. I can remember her going to the many doctor appointments taking her treatments, being in the hospital for weeks at a time basically leaving me and my brother to grow up faster then usual. Seeing the way her body changed physically was really hard but though it all she still remained positive and was always her cheerful self even in the end.
Seeing the way my mom struggle with her disease was hard all in it’s self, but for the children that are in Africa and other underdeveloped countries they are faced with several stressors. They are not just faced with disease but hunger, violence, mistreatment just to name a few. All these factors can have a huge effect on the way a child develops emotionally, physically, and socially. Like me those children more then likely don’t have a support system that will help them though rough times. I am grateful that I had people in my corner to help me along the way before and after.
