Causes of stress

1. Many teenagers today are stressed out because of various factors.What do you think is a major cause of stress to teenagers?

According to studies, teenagers these days are more likely to be stressed out than teenagers back then. Today we are going to be talking about the causes of these stress to teens and the effects it can have on them. First off, the major cause of stress to teenagers in my opinion is the expectations and responsibilities placed onto them by their parents. Teenagers are always expected to score well in their examinations until the grades they get for their exams become more important than actually studying. They lose interest in studying which just spoils the whole purpose of it in the first place and instead focus more on memorizing facts from their textbook just so that they can pass their exams with flying colors. Some of them do not even truly understand what they are actually learning about in school and what is the use these precious knowledge to them in the future. Teenagers who have siblings got it worse as they will be constantly compared to all the time. This could even lead to them hating their siblings as they will feel like they are never good enough because of them. Other than that, teenagers are also expected to stay healthy, have a great social life, get enough sleep, excel in sports et cetera but how do parents expect these kinds of things to happen if the kids are always required to outshine the rest in everything they do. This puts a lot of pressure on teenagers to cope up with everything. Stress can be very dangerous for teenagers since not all teenagers can think rationally. There are some who cannot stand the pressure and resort to suicide to end all their problems which is a real shame that such young and gifted people in the world are ending their lives because of the pain they suffer everyday. Many other problems could arise from being stressed out not only for teenagers but to adults as well, it could cause depression, lack of motivation, and many more. Finally, stress that's left unchecked could also contribute to many health problems such as high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease and diabetes. This could increase the risks of dying at a young age so to prevent this from happening teenagers have to learn to manage their stress well.
