The hard edges of stress
Are a struggle to process
Still... the quicker, the best
Cortisol levels attest
Did you know that boys and girls have different brains? When under stress girls verbalize and talk it out and boys may hold it in- and not let go of /release the crisis causing cortisol levels. For this reason, boys may find it harder to focus at school when upset. They process things by using the lower part of the brain stem and go into fight (aggression) or flight (withdrawal). Girls, though they may get over it much quicker, are troubled by stress because they sense more. They process things by using the top of the brain to verbalize and reason over the crisis. Personality tends to effect this as some girls are not quick to talk things out and some boys can tune out stress. Reading: Boys and Girls Learn Differently
