-In the stress appearence, stressor is not one

When talking about stress the most puzzling thing about stress is in a stress situation the stressor is not one but many, and they are effecting deeply with each other and can't think about one if you don't think about the other.

For example let's say there is a boy called A who has stomach ache every time he gets math homework. The stressor in this situation is the math homework but this does not mean that the math homework directly make A's stomach ache. A thought of the math homework as a pain, this mental stressor caused A's stomach ache. Otherwise every student in class who got the math homework has to have stomach ache. There also must be some reason for A to feel the math homework as a pain(stressor). A might not like the math teacher and having dissatisfaction with the teacher. If it is so the social stressor "human relation" is also effecting. When a student is dissatisfied with the teacher, feeling over reactionly and disliking anything that is related with the teacher is very common. Math homework is a very boring routine from the first place, but the dislike of the teacher increased the dissatisfaction drastically. In this example stressor, human relation, caused a mental stressor and the math homework became another stressor . Like this stressor is effecting very deeply with each other and very hard to notice, so it is very hard to find the real reason of the stress disease even though the general reason for the disease is stress.
