Stress isn’t just a problem for adults. Young people, however, are also suffering from stress with different
causes. Below are some factors that contribute to those youngsters’ unhealthy levels of stress.
School Pressure
Teenagers often feel stressed about academic and extracurricular demands. Students feel pressure to
complete daily homework, finish projects and study for exams. In addition to the quest for good grades, teens
may also participate in extracurricular activities, such as sports, student council, cheerleading and clubs.
Peer Pressure
Although teens may have a solid group of friends, their peers may pressure them to hang out instead of
studying or experiment with drugs, alcohol or sexual activities that go against their morals or family rules. Peer
pressure, bullying on campus and harassment may distract teens from studying, leading them to feel additional
stress and anxiety.
Family Problems
Teenagers can also feel stress at home because of family pressures and problems. Arguments with siblings,
disagreements with parents over rules and expectations and the need to consistently care for younger siblings
may also contribute to teen stress.
Sense of Loss
Teens may also feel stress and anxiety when experiencing a sense of loss. “Loss” can mean the end of a
relationship, friendship or cherished extracurricular activity. Breaking up with a boyfriend or best friend, for
example, may lead them to doubt their self-worth or feel anxious about attending school or social functions
because of their change in social status.
Statements True False
51. Stress is a problem of both adults and young people.
