Unit 5 project: Self Management by Darrell Bennett https://padlet.com/darrella_bennett/7w6ewy4wqkk8j7xi en-us 2022-06-03 13:50:17 UTC 2025-12-03 21:53:39 UTC hello@padlet.com 7 examples of teen stress darrella_bennett https://padlet.com/darrella_bennett/7w6ewy4wqkk8j7xi/wish/2210221387  1.School: People have different learning styles, interests, and strengths. Unfortunately, school is a standard structure that doesn’t take these differences into consideration. When the school doesn’t embrace the teens’ strengths, values or creativity they tend to be more stressed out.

2. Parents: Parents and home environment can also add to teen stress.

a. High expectations are a big stress for children. Out of love, parents want teens to succeed in everything. While this idea is nice, it’s really an unrealistic expectation.



3. Peer group: Peer pressure, not getting along with friends, and worrying about fitting in causes stress. The peer group is an important part of a teen’s life. If she senses the peer group is unreliable or disrespectful, it will increase her stress levels as she feels pressured to impress her social group.

4. Lack of life skills: Skills such as organization and time management are important stress preventers. Likewise, an absence of these valuable skills can make life more hectic and chaotic. Teen’s habits are normally a reflection of how things are done in the household. As such, it’s unrealistic for parents to expect teens to do better than them. Any other expectations are only a stress producer.

5. Personal thoughts: What kind of thinking does your teen engage in? It’s not too tough to find out. Pay attention to your teen’s actions and words as they’re a reflection of what’s going on inside her head. Instead of criticizing her, provide her with an alternative way of thinking.

  • Drinking too much alcohol
    While alcohol may relieve stress momentarily, consistent overindulgence can lead to several negative health consequences, including addiction, depression, liver disease, heart problems, and other serious health conditions.
  • Taking drugs
    Illegal drugs, prescription drugs, or over-the-counter drugs, such as sleeping pills, are sometimes used to cope with stress. However, similar to alcohol, these drugs do not solve the problem or improve the body’s stress response. Serious health or legal consequences may also occur.
  • Smoking cigarettes
    For habitual smokers, smoking a cigarette can create a short-term calming effect. However, the use of cigarettes increases stress levels in the body, harms the respiratory system, and contributes to serious illnesses.
  • Comfort eating
    While eating can provide comfort and distraction from a stressful situation, comfort eating and overeating can lead to guilt and shame, as well as weight gain, obesity, and obesity-related illnesses. Maintaining a healthy diet can actually reduce stress.
  • Sleeping too much
    Sleep provides a temporary reprieve from reality, but the problem remains upon waking. In addition, long naps can interfere with sleep at night, and too much sleep in general can interfere with work, school or other important tasks. Healthy adults should aim to get seven to nine hours of sleep each night.
  • Withdrawing from loved ones
    Isolation can negatively affect mood and outlook, which can increase stress. Spending time with friends and family who listen and provide support is important.
  • Taking stress out on others
    Lashing out at others can release some pent-up tension, but it also negatively impacts relationships. When coping with stress, breathing and decompressing before reacting to an upsetting situation is essential.
  • Increasing screen time
    Whether constantly watching the news or frequently refreshing social media feeds, too much screen time can increase stress levels. Screen time should be limited, allowing plenty of time to disconnect.
  • Self-Harm                                                                                  self-harm is a negative way of lessening deep stress or releasing emotional pain.
  • Compulsive Spending                                                       People who engage in compulsive spending respond to negative emotions by spending money. After they make a purchase, they may feel guilty or disappointed, leading to more negative emotions and more spending.
