Mental Resilience

As a teenager, you face a multitude of challenges. The pressures to excel in academics, secure college admissions, and succeed in extracurricular activities can feel immense. The rise of social media adds to the stress, with constant exposure to idealized versions of others' lives making you feel inadequate and frustrated. These pressures can fuel anxiety, anger, and feelings of overwhelm.

When was the last time you were overcome and cried; "I cannot handle it!" "It is all this stress!" "If I just had less stress, I would be able to survive!"

Stress can and will hurt you in many ways. It can hurt you physically. Stress can lead to increased rates of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Stress can hurt you emotionally.
