Dealing with stress and anxiety among teens

Most people see the beginning of life once a baby is born. The process of human development slowly unfolds when that baby grows into a cute small toddler — “learning the ropes” of speech, walking, eating, and playing. Parents, naturally, add Band-Aid and disinfectants to their grocery list as their children begin to take a more bold, active role at home as well as in play school. After a few years, that baby is expected to be ready for school. As any parent might say, time flies so fast and before they know it — the little kid they used to take and fetch from the community kindergarten is now a young man or young lady in high school. In high school, these young people encounter new things. They uncover new emotions and ways of thinking. Naturally, they have to pass through the awkward situation of no longer being kids yet still not even close to being adults. Most teenagers wonder how being a teen may be so fun yet to full of anxiety. And for many high schoolers, nothing can be more fun and anxiety-filled than have their first serious relationship.
