Everyone feels stressed sometimes — but when it becomes too much, it can affect both your body and your mind. You might get stomachaches, sleep badly, forget things, or feel constantly tired. That’s your body’s way of saying it needs rest.

During your teenage years, pressure is common — from school, family, friends, or even yourself. Your brain is still developing, expectations are high, and emotions are intense. It’s a lot to carry, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Alma’s tips:

• Write down what truly needs to be done — and what can wait.

• Do one thing at a time, and treat rest as just as important as achievement.

• Talk to someone you trust if you feel overwhelmed. Sharing makes it lighter.
