Teens Speak English. Тексты и задания на английском языке для подростков

It’s also important for teens to set realistic goals and prioritize self-care. This means recognizing their limits and taking breaks when needed, rather than trying to do everything perfectly all the time. In addition, teens can benefit from seeking professional help if they’re struggling with chronic stress or mental health issues. A therapist or counselor can provide guidance and support.

By learning how to manage stress effectively, teens can develop resilience and thrive in the face of challenges.

While stress is an inevitable part of life, it doesn’t have to be a barrier to success and happiness.
