Here are some healthy ways you can deal with stress:
Talk to others. Share your problems and how you are feeling and coping
with a parent, friend, counselor, doctor, or pastor.
Avoid drugs and alcohol. These may seem to help, but they can create
additional problems and increase the stress you are already feeling.
Take a break. If news events are causing your stress, take a break from
listening or watching the news.
Recognize when you need more help. If problems continue or you are
thinking about suicide, talk to a psychologist, social worker, or professional
counselor.
