Teens have to deal with a lot of stress. Stress in a teenagers life can come from a lot of different places. Stress can come from too much homework, extra curriculars, friends, dating, tests, and peer pressure. Choices we make can also magnify problems way out of proportion and add to the stress for teens. Stress can cause teens to not perform at maximum capacity, and for them to worry more. Stress can also mess with your emotions, and cause you to be unhappy and tired. Stress is a normal occurrence and one that needs to be addressed.
