Now, mind you, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that personal stresses are (stresses is spelled wrong by the way) just things going on in your life that stress you out, like being up until 840 pm trying to find the answer to a math problem. *GROAN*

Lulu seems to not know what she is talking about. A personal stressor is (a) a real word and (b) an event in one's life that has an immediate negative impac on one's life as well as taking a long time to fade. A death to a close family member is considered a personal stressor.

Being up until 8:40pm trying to find a math problem would be considered more of a background stressor. Background stressors are considered to be daily hassles.
