Teenagers: Effectively Coping With Their Stress

By: Andrew John

Stress is an inevitable part of every teenager's life. During that time, people meet with their first real problems - high school and college grades, their first jobs, first important exams, first long-term friendships and having sex for the first time in their lives. When your children become teenagers, the time of being the "almighty parents" is finally over. Instead of solving problems for their children, you have to advise them and teach your children how to cope with the problems alone.

School is the main source of teenagers' stress, and of all school reasons the grades are the most common. Unless you help your children cope with it, you risk with their health or even their lives - there are more than one teenager who committed suicide because of poor school performance. The point is that parents should not punish children for por grades, but offer them all help and assistance that might need to improve their grades, from teaching them by learning with them to hiring a decent tutor. If it is done regularly, not only in emergencies, your children's school stress will vanish in a few months and their overall school performance will become much better than anytime before.

Peers are another major cause of stress. In order to achieve a notable position in the group of peers, it is often necessary to make some terribly wrong choices - teens often try to get some esteem by taking drugs, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol or having sex at an early age. What is most frustrating, it is beyond parent's abilities to prevent it directly - all they can do is to shun their children and make them do all the bad things on the street instead of in their bedroom. What parents may and should do is to make sure that the choices teens make are informed. Make sure that your children understand what happens if they get into drugs or start having a lot of sex... and what happens if they don't. Oftentimes children are so stressed because of their peers that they see no other option but to bow to the group. You have to give them such alternative.

Having sex for the first time is another moment when they are subjects to terrible amount of stress - for many people it is often the worst stress they will feel in their entire life and the negative effects of such stress may affect all their future and relationships. In order to make it easier and less stressful, teenagers have to be able to talk freely about their problems with their parents without fear of parents getting furious. You have to make sure that your children know that they alone are in charge of their sexuality and the decisions are solely theirs - not their partners. Make sure they know that if they are not ready to have sex, it is perfectly ok to break the relationship, change friends, or never get in a dangerous situation again. However, do not try to interfere with your children relationships. Teenagers enter relationships mostly because they feel they are worth it. If you try to force them to accept your choices instead of theirs, they may (and often will) do just the opposite to preserve their independence. Again, try to persuade them and show them the alternatives rather than order them to do what you think is the best thing.
