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 teenagers’ unhealthy levels of stress. 

School Pressure:  Teenagers often feel stressed because of studying. Students may be under pressure to complete daily homework, finish projects and study for exams. In addition, teens may also want to participate in extracurricular activities, such as sports and clubs. The added pastimes may contribute to teenagers’ stress and anxiety if the activities are competitive and students have no relaxation time.

Peer Pressure:  Although teenagers may have a group of close friends, their peers may force them to hang out instead of studying and that goes against their family rules. Peer pressure, bullying at school may affect teenagers’ studying, and lead them to feel more stressful and frustrate

Family Problems:  Teenagers can also feel tense at home because of family pressure and problems. Arguments with brothers or sisters, disagreements with parents over rules and family expectations may also cause teenagers’ stress.
