Overworked and Underage Stress

Compulsory Education And Other Teen Trials

Grownups see teenagers as a cause of stress in modern life. For their part, teenagers are more apt to see themselves as sufferers from stress. Polling by Mediamark Research Inc. found 58 percent of teen girls and 43 percent of teen boys saying they feel stressed out either “all the time” or “sometimes.” On the opposite side of the spectrum, 36 percent of girls and 45 percent of boys reported feeling stressed out “once in a while” or “rarely.”
