Dehydration is when someone loses more fluids than he or she takes in. Dehydration isn't as serious a problem for teens as it can be for babies or young children. But if you ignore your thirst, dehydration can slow you down.

When someone gets dehydrated, it means the amount of water in the body has dropped below the level needed for normal body function. Small decreases don't cause problems, and in most cases, they go completely unnoticed. But not drinking enough to keep up with the loss of fluid can sometimes make a person feel quite sick.

What Causes Dehydration?
One common cause of dehydration in teens is gastrointestinal illness. When you're flattened by a stomach bug, you lose fluid through vomiting and diarrhea. On top of that, you probably don't feel very much like eating or drinking.

Even if you don't have a stomach virus, you can get dehydrated for other reasons when you're sick. For example, if you have a sore throat, you might find it hard to swallow food or drinks. And if you have a fever, water evaporates from your skin in an attempt to cool your body down.

You also can get dehydrated from from lots of physical activity (like during sports). If you don't replace the fluid you lose through sweat as you go, you can get dehydrated, especially on a hot day. Even mild dehydration can affect an athlete's physical and mental performance.
