Stress

Stress is your body’s response to pressure from school, friends, or life changes.

Try this: Take breaks, go for a walk, and avoid overloading your schedule.

Anxiety is when worry feels constant or overwhelming, even without immediate danger.

Try this: Slow breathing (4 seconds in, 4 seconds out) and grounding techniques.

Poor sleep can affect focus, emotions, and energy levels.

Try this: Keep a consistent sleep schedule and reduce screen time before bed.

If you feel overwhelmed for a long time, talking to someone can really help.

Important: Reaching out to a trusted adult, teacher, or counselor is a strong step.
