It seems from our last post that most of you are getting solid amounts of sleep. That is a great thing. Another aspect of recovery that we need to look out for is stress.
A study conducted on the stress and related problems of teens in the city of Baltimore showed the following figures.
The Biggest Causes of Stress
School work (78%)
Parents (78%)
Romantic relationships (64%)
Problems with friends (64%)
Siblings (64%)
The Conclusions of the Study are
Girls are affected more than boys
Girls respond to stress by seeking help from others or by taking certain actions to reduce or remove stress.
Boys respond to stress by not dealing with the stress at all or by engaging the mind away from the sources of stress.
Family members and friends are both sources of stress and support for teenagers.
Teenagers use both healthy and unhealthy ways to cope up with stress.
We are going to spend the next few posts talking about stress, how to identify it and was to deal with it.
First we need to be able to identify the things that cause us stress. For this weeks blog let me know what causes you stress. Think about the things that make you anxious, nervious, or occupy your thought more than you would want. Use the poll to the right to let me know what causes you stress. You do not have to post to comments this week, everyone will get credit for a blog this week, but I want you to answer the poll question.
The biggest thing that causes me stress is school, homework and anything that requires mental energy.

One of the biggest factors of stress in my life is definitely school, the amount of hw teachers give you, how I always wait to the last moment to do any assignment and i guess some of my romantic relationship.
