 Stress is a part of everyone's life, and everyone has their way of handling it. Nowadays, students, especially teenagers, experience stress, and most of the time, they take it negatively and are unable to tackle it, leading to either depression or acute anxiety disorder.

Depression or tension experienced by the students while they are growing further increases due to academic pressures. When they cannot adapt to the change, they carry considerable anxiety and negative personality traits and can suffer from massive attention problems.

It is seen that overscheduling a student's life also puts them under stress. Anxiety and time management, along with some leisure activities, can significantly help reduce anxiety among students.

Students are learning much more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic; they are growing in a developing society and are learning how to function and succeed in life. The pressure of success with the increasing complexity of education today is considered a significant source of stress and anxiety in many students.

Psychological Stress In Teenagers

Researchers have found that most psychological stress causes are linked to emotional and psychological disorders. Students may feel stressful situations, whether long-term or short-term, in numerous emotional symptoms.
