(b) What are some problems you face as a student which adds to your stress level?

b)Some other problems that i face as a student is that there are too many subjects for me to concentrate on.But i know that since the day that i have decided to be a double science student,i should have know.But seriously sometimes i really do not understand what the teacher is teaching so i will have to try to figure it out myself.
