Becoming responsible and being able to make good choices
are very important traits no matter what developmental stage
you are in. It holds true for adolescents especially that they
are just beginning to internalize and imbibe virtues, values,
and other essential qualities.
It may not be easy to be a teenager. There may be lots of
things going on in various facets of their lives. The demands
and expectations of their parents and other people around
them can also be stressful. But the good news is, they can
treat these ‘difficulties’ as ‘challenges’ which can make their
life exciting. Having that mindset is also an indication of
becoming a responsible and mentally mature adolescent.

NATURE OF STRESS

18. ALPINE SKI HOUSE
TYPES OF STRESS
 Physical and Environmental
 demands that change the state of our body. We feel strained when we overexert ourselves physically, lack a nutritious
diet, suffer an injury, or fail to get enough sleep. Environmental stresses are aspects of our surroundings that are often
unavoidable such as air pollution, crowding, noise, heat of the summer, winter cold, etc. Another group of environmental
stresses are catastrophic events or disasters such as fire, earthquake, floods, etc.
 Physchological
 stresses that we generate ourselves in our minds and are unique to the person experiencing them. These are internal
sources of stress. Some of the important sources of psychological stress are frustrations, conflicts, internal and social
pressures, etc. We worry about problems, feel anxiety, or become depressed.
 Social
 These are induced externally and result from our interaction with other people. Social events like death or illness in the
family, strained relationships, trouble with neighbors are some examples of social stresses. These social stresses vary
widely from person to person. Attending parties may be stressful for a person who likes to spend quiet evenings at home
while an outgoing person may find staying at home in the evenings stressful.
