Teenagers today have a lot of stress because of a lot of different reasons. However, there are three main things in my opinion that cause stress for teenagers which are school related issues, relationships, and peer pressure. These things can cause teenagers to do things that they thought they were not capable of, which could be good or bad, depending on the situation.

First, school related issues are the main cause for teenage stress these days. It can be caused by them being pushed too hard by their parents or teachers, because for some a lot is expected of them. It can also be caused by them by participating in their school sports.
