Teen Stressors
Teens should veer away from too much stress because too much stress can cause a great strain to their physical, emotional, and mental capacities. There are several factors that cause stress to teens. According to studies, there is a tie between school work and parents as the most common cause of stress in teens. In spite of this fact, the studies also show that it is also the parents, or the immediate family members of the stressed out teen, who support and tries to help their teens manage stress. The second, third, and fourth most common stress ors are romantic relationships, problems with friends, and problems with siblings, respectively.
Reportedly, girls are more affected by stress than boys are. This is attributed to the society’s different expectations of both men and women. Girls are known to cope with stress by seeking help through having an open communication with friends or family members. They also cope with stress by finding ways to vent out their stress, through relaxation. Meanwhile, boys are said to cope with stress by channeling their energies to a physical activity like sports and other recreation. A common method employed by boys and girls in dealing with stress is by engaging their minds in other matters in order to keep themselves preoccupied.
