Triggers+To+Stress

-Worries over school and homework
 * Students spend the majority of their day at school so talking to your teenager about how school was does matter to them. Ask how their studies are going and make sure they do their homework when they get home so that way they have the evening to enjoy relaxing and hanging out with friends. If you make sure your teenager knows that it is required to have their homework done in your household, they are more prone to do so therefore not having to stress over it later.

-Relationship changes
 * It is important to be involved in your teenagers relationship. Get to know what type of relationship your teenager has. When your open to their relationship, your son or daughter will feel more comfortable talking to you about their relationship especially when there is a change. The change can cause stress.

-Family demands
 * Often times, teenagers feel as if they can't make their family happy. Whether it comes to being the best at sports or the smartest at school, they feel like they will never make you happy even if they are giving their best. Make sure you are not putting these burdens on your teenager, this alone can cause stress at home and school which can lead into depression. (look at depression pages for more information)

-Health concerns
 * It is necessary to take your teenager for a yearly check up, if you haven't already been doing so, it is never too late to start. Especially if your teen is playing sports. Pain in your teenagers body can cause stress because they may not be able to concentrate as well.

-Puberty
 * Every human will go through puberty. Of course, it differs by gender. Puberty can cause stress because teens will start to break out and their body is subject to change. These are things that you need to talk to our teenager about. Working out with your teen is a good way to relieve this kind of stress because it also helps the teen body to adjust to the changes quicker.
