teenager. Many are worried about their
academic performance, are afraid that they will
not meet the expectations of parents and
teachers, and do not want to lag behind their
classmates.

bullying), illnesses of close relatives, and financial
difficulties in the family – all this can dramatically
increase the stress level in a teenager's life.
