I have to write a story for my English Coursework but I am probably the least creative human being on this entire universe.
The title has to be something relevant to "Under Pressure"
Anyone been Under Pressure recently? if so, explain how
Or anyone have any ideas?

I always find it difficult to suggest ideas - but maybe under pressure could suggest a few things.

Deep sea divers - pressure of both time and water.

or kind of turning it around lack of pressure say an aircraft at high altitude where the pressure is much less and that of course is true for mountaineers. that need oxygen.

Peer pressure. That could make a really good story. Tell a story with a moral that explains how peer pressure can harm someone.

That's for you to come up with. What have you been peer pressured into doing in the past that ended up poorly for you? Make it a bit personal too. If it is something you have experience with, it will be easier to write about; thus, it will be more interesting.

Under pressure is a broad topic. It could involve being under peer pressure or just pressure in general (stress to do well, crushed by a safe, a piano, a safe with some dude playing a piano on it, etc)

I myself have been under pressure recently and am often under pressure (my mom is insistent about me taking bubble baths, which I hate, or otherwise I get grounded so yeah).
Hope these things help u.

What automatically comes to my mind is Queen's "Under Pressure" ~ maybe you could get some inspo from there? The song is basically about the destructive force of pressure:

Or something like peer pressure that others above suggested would be good too.
Or parents pressuring their kid to be perfect and the kid breaking down under the pressure.
