Expand my horizens rather than deaden them? And, not to sound trite, but maybe you shouldn't be trying to get away from the stresses but rather take them head on? Life for a lot of people just isn't all that hard. Here's a few pointers. Don't get into debt. Don't get married right out of highschool. Try to study hard so you have some credentials, and get a job you actually enjoy doing. If you can manage that, life's easy.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
