Stress
Stress is simply a fact of nature -- forces from the inside or outside world affecting the individual. The individual responds to stress in ways that affect the individual as well as their environment. Because of the overabundance of stress in our modern lives, we usually think of stress as a negative experience, but from a biological point of view, stress can be a neutral, negative, or positive experience. In general, stress is related to both external and internal factors. External factors include the physical environment, including your job, your relationships with others, your home and all the situations, challenges, difficulties, and expectations you are confronted with on a daily basis. Internal factors determine your body's ability to respond to, and deal with, the external stress-including factors. Internal factors which influence your ability to handle stress include your nutritional status, overall health and fitness levels, emotional well-being, and the amount of sleep and rest you get.
Stress has driven evolutionary change[the development and natural selection of species over time]. Thus, the species that adapted best to the causes of stress have survived and evolved into the plant and animal kingdoms we now observe.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a feeling of fear, unease, and worry. Every one feels anxious sometimes - worried, afraid of something happening obsessed about something being a certain way. When that fear of anxiety becomes something that gets in the way of your life (relationship, school, ability to cope) and it dose not go away, that is when it could be a more serious anxiety disorder. Wanting to fight or run away from things we are worried about, or afraid of, is normal - it keeps us alive. Having an anxiety disorder means this respond is causing you more problems than good. Around fifteen percent of young people have anxiety disorders, with most having their first symptoms before the age of 15.
