It sounds to my like you guys are debating, more, the causes of stress than whether it's real. I'd say it is real. Because I've expereinced it. It's a feeling. Maybe it could have a different name...like panic...or feeling overwhelmed...but whatever. Every culture has it. Some just deal with it in different ways than others. Your Spanish teacher could have said something more along time lines of "how serious is stress, really? Some cultures always seem to be able to deal with it without a fuss...but Americans use it as an excuse to hand work in late. Don't you think this is a problem?" That would have been more truthful imo.
