			<description><![CDATA[Teens go through a lot during their teenage years. They have the struggle of trying to fit in, having the best clothes, relationships, and also friends. They feel like if they don&#8217;t have the right clothes they won&#8217;t be accepted and then won&#8217;t have any friends. One thing that all teens go through is stress. Wanting to be the best and fitting in causes stress. It is also caused by school. Schools expect a lot from teens. They demand you to be in class on time even when the hallways are really crowded and your class is on the opposite side, follow the rules, do your homework, and turn your work in on time. Not only is it from just one teacher it&#8217;s from all of the teachers. Most teens in high school either have around four to eight classes, which mean you double that amount of stress for each class they take. Trying to deal with stress is a complicated thing to do. It is not easy to prevent, and it is not good to just let stress stay in your life. When you are starting to feel overwhelmed there are techniques you can try to stop it from getting bad. When you are trying to do your homework that is due the next day and you are not sure how to do it and it is starting to make you mad, just walk away and take a break. When you have gotten your mind off of it for a while, then come back to it and try again. When you feel like you have too many things to do and not enough time, don&#8217;t worry. Worrying will just cause more stress. Instead of worrying maybe spend some time organizing your schedule to find more time. Get a calendar or planner, make a list and write down what things you will be doing at certain times so you will not worry if you have time or not.  All of these things can also lead to anxiety. Test anxiety is where you don&#8217;t do well on test, even when you study a lot for it, from stressing and worrying about how you will do on it or thinking you can never pass it no matter how much you study. Being positive about it and believing in yourself may help with the test anxieties. <br />Stress is not a good thing to have in your life. It can make you sick or make you start feeling depressed. Stress can actually kill you as well. When teens experience stress it is hard for a lot of them to deal with it. Some teens think the only way to deal with stress is to commit suicide. Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death in people ages 10-24. Instead of seeking help, they feel no one can help them and it&#8217;s not worth trying anymore so they think it&#8217;s the only answer. Some deal with stress by cutting their bodies as a way to handle it. When there&#8217;s a lot going on in their lives some would just rather keep it to their self instead of talking to someone about it and getting advice from someone to help them through it.  It is important for friends and families to watch out for the results of stress like depression and act on it instead of thinking it will go away. Stress is nothing to play around with it can be really serious. Teens do go through a lot in their teen age years and trying to not get so stressed over things could help them lead a life with less anxieties.]]></description>
