The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to Dealing with Stress for Teens covers it all: Welcome to the teen age -- how did life get so -- well, stressful, anyway? Turns out, things really are different now than they were when your parents were teens (you knew it all the time); fight or flight, and the positives (yes, positives) and negatives of stress; school dazed and confused -- dating, peer pressure, grades, grown-ups' expectations -- who wouldn't be stressed out?; stress and its buddies -- anxiety and depression; stress and hormone changes; tension tamers that really work; and talking it out, working it out -- and when to ask for help.
