2๏ธโฃ ๐๐ฐ๐ค๐ช๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ต๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด – Bullying and instances of relational aggression are clear sources of stress in teens. Learning to manage healthy conflicts in romantic or platonic relationships; not to mention peer pressure, is difficult to navigate. โฃโฃ

4๏ธโฃ ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ด – School shootings, acts of terrorism, and natural disasters trigger stress. Hearing bits and pieces of scary news, can leave teens wondering about their safety and the safety of their loved ones.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
5๏ธโฃ ๐๐ณ๐ข๐ถ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ค ๐๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ด – Death of a family member or friend, accidents, sickness, or enduring emotional/physical abuse can have a lasting impact on teen stress levels.โฃโฃ
