As a human being, you react to dangerous situations and traumatic events in specific ways.
Whenever you find yourself in any situation where you feel that you are in physical danger, your body
reacts to the stress of the situation. Stress is a state of mental tension and worry caused by problems in
life, work etc. It is a physical force or pressure that makes a person worries and have a feeling of
anxiety. Stress is considered as a negative part of human experience but it can also be viewed as
positive as it triggers one’s survival instincts. Stress becomes harmful because you experience the
same kind of response frequently. Such stress, if you become over-exposed to it, might lead to various
health problems. It is therefore important for you teenagers to become aware of and responsive to the
different sources of stress in your life.

As a teenager, you are in a very challenging period because your roles and relationships are
constantly changing. Issues of independence, dependence; autonomy or attachment; self-sufficiency or
need; acceptance or rejection from family and peers; pressures from school works; pressures of having
or wanting to be in romantic relationship are just the normal frets face by a teenager. As such, it is
 expected to a teenager to be aware of the sources of stress in life in order to address them properly
and develop the necessary skills to be able to cope with these pressures.
