Stress in Teenagers

By: Walid Azdar

Academic Stress
This is one of the most common
causes of stress in teenagers. They
are worried about getting applied to
a college. They have to balance their
grades with time and sports. For
most teens it is just too much to
handle.
Social Stress
Teens place high value on their social
life and their status on social media.
They are very worried about how
other people view them. This is
another very common stress cause.
Traumatic Stress
Another common cause of stress
could be a traumatic event they have
experienced. It could be the death of
a family member or be abused. This
makes teens anxious and scared.
1st way to combat
stress
The first way to combat stress is to
take a break from social media. This
can allow the teen to build his/her
confidence again. This will allow
them to eliminate social stress.
 2nd way to
combat stress
The second way to manage stress is
to manage your time. This can allow
you to get your work done. Allowing
work to pile up is one factor of
academic stress.
3rd way to combat
stress
The 3rd way to combat stress is to
have a positive attitude. Having a
negative mind will only make it
worse. Always think positive and use
words like “I can” instead of “I
Can’t”.
