"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. " - Marcus Aurelius, Stoic Philosopher

As a teenager, the pressure of taking on too many activities is suffocating. Parents expect you to succeed. Deadlines drive you. School demands are frustrating. Changes in your body confuse you. The family's financial worries are burdensome. You work a part-time job to earn extra pocket cash. Soon you feel drained and overwhelmed!


Now you are stressed! You cry out. You scream in your sleep. You weep because everything seems to go against you. The truth is everyone experiences loss, difficulties, obstacles, and tragedies, but
for teenagers, many are novices to
stressful events and do not know how to
deal with or reduce it. This Web
site seeks to educate and broaden
the understanding of everyday teen stress,
describe how it affects health, as well as
offer effective coping methods.
