Stress

It is hard to convince a high-school student that he or she will encounter a lot of problems more difficult than those of algebra and geometry.
-- Edgar W. Howe

 Stress is often just thrown on teens. Some things that could stress out teens are:

• work
• school work
• relationships
• family problems 
• peer pressure
• expectations of parents or teachers to be perfect 

Boys and girls deal with stress in many different ways,

 

For boys

• 25% avoided or refused to deal with their stress, 
• 23% sought ways to distract themselves away from their stress, 
• 17% sought support, and 
• 35% actively tried to reduce their stress.

For Girls

• 19% avoided or refused to deal with their stress, 
• 14 % sought ways to distract themselves away from their stress, 
• 22% sought support, and 
• 45% actively tried to remove or reduce their stress. 

According to these statistics boys more often used the tools of avoidance and distraction while girls looked for support and actively tried to reduce their stress. Girls also think that they experienced more stress then boys, stemming largely from their relationships with boys and friendships with girls. Boys attributed their stress to authority figures, (teachers).


People of all ages have different signs of stress and cope with stress in many different ways.
