Ms Pawandeep Kaur

Abstract :

Adolescence has been long characterized as a time of heightened emotional reactivity and poor self-control. Stress is one of the common issues found among adolescents. Adolescents experience stress under numerous circumstances which leads to prolonged and intense damage to their coping abilities. This paper is an attempt to focus on several reasons for stress in the life of adolescents and the coping mechanism used by them to overcome the stress. Generally, pushing through on life stress refers to any pressure or demand placed on the individual to adapt or adjust to the stressors. Stress has become a serious issue of concern that affects not only their perception towards their friends and family but also their life-supporting faculties, namely mental and physical body operation.
