Dealing with stress
If you notice
your teenager sulking more than usual or having trouble sleeping at
night as he lies awake thinking for hours, your teen may be
struggling with stress. Emotional stress can definitely occur at this time
period for a teenager when he is going through many changes physically,
socially, and mentally. But the problem occurs when your child may not know how
to deal with his normal emotional stress and it escalates into a full-blown
disorder such as depression or anxiety.
Specifically,
teenagers who are perfectionists and noted to be highly grade-conscious to a
point that it actually becomes a destructive mind-set instead of a productive
one, may tend to suffer from anxiety. For these teenagers, the time of
quarterly examinations can prove to be a time of hell for them as stress
consumes them. Not just taking the tests themselves but waiting for the results
can affect them considerably.
Here is where
some teenagers of this nature have been known to go from white to black. Once a
teenager under this kind of pressure snaps, he may decide to no longer care at
all about his academic performance. In a way, it is a jumping of extremes.
Anxiety can definitely lead to a teenager’s nervous breakdown which can turn an
A-student into an F-student in just a school quarter.
Vital Support
Depression may stem from several physical, social, or
mental changes within your teen. If your teen is a bit underdeveloped than the
other boys his age, he may definitely get his share of teasing. He may even
feel that he doesn’t fit in with the others as well as a result of this. This
in turn may then affect his self-image or self-concept.
All these factors may lead to his sulking which can
become depression. As in the general example given, there are many other ways
or combinations of factors concerned that may lead to your teenager’s bout with
depression. A practically endless number of combinations may hit your child,
and it is in the manner in which he deals with them that will determine if his
times of sadness will develop into full-blown depression or not.
