The phrase 'like up' doesn't mean anything because it is incorrect.
His father expects a lot from him. Because he wants to be as good as his father expects him to be, that puts a lot of stress on him. Because of that he finds making decisions about things that are really important very hard to make. _________________ "Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened."

'raise up' and 'live up' are both standard phrases, but the other two are incorrect. _________________ "Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened."

decisions put a lot of stress on him / make him feel stressed / give him a lot of stress. _________________ "Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened."
