 Teenagers today live in a very competitive world. It is more important than ever to succeed 
 at school if you hope to have a chance in the job market afterwards. It’s no wonder that many 
 young people worry about letting down their parents, their peers and themselves. To try to please 
 everyone, they take on too many tasks until it becomes harder and harder to balance homework 
 assignments, parties, sports activities and friends. The result is that young people suffer from 
 stress. 
 There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine, in the form of 
 coffee or soft drinks, keeps you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which can become 
 addictive. In the end, like other drugs, caffeine only leads to more stress. There are better ways to 
 deal with stress: physical exercise is a good release for stress, because it increases certain 
 chemicals in the brain which calm you down. You have to get enough sleep to avoid stress and to 
 stay healthy and full of energy.
