Examples of school-related stressors for teens include changing schools, teacher expectations, being successful in extracurricular activities and sports, getting into college, and doing well enough at school to earn a scholarship to attend college. Parents are also a large area of stress for teens, mostly due to teens’ fears that they won’t live up to their parents’ expectations of them. Also, if a teen’s parents are divorced or there are other parental issues, such as alcoholism or abuse, a teen’s stress levels are likely high. Also, any presence of illness or financial problems in the family will contribute to teens’ stress.
