Question

"Teenagers? Stress? You must be joking." This is probably the reaction when asked whether teenagers get fretful and apprehensive. For, it is generally believed that they have "no responsibilities, no worries and no duties." But that is not true. In today's competitive world, one needs to.struggle and fight to make it in this dymamic, yet uncertain, environment that is both stressful and anxiety inducing. Teenagers face a myriad of pressures, three of which are briefly discussed here. The pressure to perform Le. to do well academically comes principally from parents, teachers and peers. The lack of aptitude tests or respecting the students preferences pushes them into fields which may not interest them or for which they are not equipped. Apart from the pressure to perform well, they are often burdened with the pressure to conform to the norms laid down by society. Next, teenagers are pressurised to reform themselves. This is commonly experienced especially by students in the age group of 13 to 17. Everybody is telling them when to wake up and what to do. Here's what you can do to deal with these pressures. As a result of pressure, teenagers are often found to be very anxious. A sign of anxiety is holding one's breath. The easy way out is to take deep breaths at regular intervals, trying to calm your mind. Modern life's competitiveness and challenges put a tremendous load of work on teenagers. They need to understand that they are strong enough to handle the tough challenges in life, studying and assignments being two of them. Procrastinators ie. people who habitually delay and postpone doing their work, need to cultivate "the art of starting" and this involves dealing with the minor discomfort experienced while beginning a task. Once a job has started, it is much easier to continue. Some students worry about factors like social and financial status, intelligence and habits that might make them different from their peers. Effective stress management lies in having a healthy attitude towards competition, work, friends and acquaintances. It lies in taking life as it comes, đoing your best and being prepared for the worst. (338 Words) Questions I. What do you mean by effective stress management? 2. Who are procrastinators?
