The image is a screenshot of suggestions from Google on how to complete "School makes me..." I was listening to Radio 2 on way to supermarket today. The presenter and a doctor were talking about stress. They discussed how people are increasingly having problems with stress, how stress-related illness is hugely on the rise, etc. The focus of the bit of the programme I heard was entirely on what you , as an individual, can do to manage your stress levels better. Fuck that.
