Teens and stress / Parks, Peggy J.

This book examines studies that show stress can be good for teens, giving them the burst of adrenaline they need to win a race or give an important speech; but too much stress (often called burnout) can cause many different health problems.

Explores teens and stress, discussing the causes of teen stress, associated health problems, and coping mechanisms. Includes a chronology, primary source quotes, color graphs and diagrams, further research, and listings of key people, advocacy groups, and related organizations.
