Teenagers often have busy schedules. They go to school, do homework and take part in different activities. Sometimes they worry about tests or have problems with friends. These worries can make them feel stressed.
There are several ways to deal with stress. First, students can make a simple plan for their week and divide big tasks into smaller ones. This helps them know what to do and when to do it. Second, taking a break is important. Walking, playing a sport or listening to music can help teenagers relax. They also need enough sleep to feel ready for a new day.
