1)    Is stress different between teens and adults?

Yes, Adults are more focus with family and their bills.

Teens could be more worry about their social circle and school.

2)    What would be a reason why teens are facing a lot of stress?

A reason why teens are facing more stress today is because they do not know what to do with that stress. They do not have skills to deal with stress.

3)    What affects does stress cause in the body?

Adults could have high blood pressure. The mind gets affected a lot by stress. You could also get sick and could give you desperation.

I think the one thing that suffers the consequences is the heart.

I think the common signs are:
