About this title

Synopsis

-- The teen audience is "poised for growth, " according to trade publishers; a five-page article on publishing for teens appeared in the 10/23/00 issue of Publishers Weekly. -- Written with the assistance of a research associate at the University of Southern California who specializes in aspects of the body's response to stress and has taught workshops in coping with stress. -- According to a study conducted by the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, a third of U.S. teens say they feel stressed on a daily basis; nearly two thirds say they are stressed at least once a week. The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to Dealing with Stress for Teens covers it Welcome to the teen age -- how did life get so -- well, stressful, anyway? Turns out, things really are different now than they were when your parents were teens (you knew it all the time); fight or flight, and the positives (yes, positives) and negatives of stress; school dazed and confused -- dating, peer pressure, grades, grown-ups' expectations -- who wouldn't be stressed out?; stress and its buddies -- anxiety and depression; stress and hormone changes; tension tamers that really work; and talking it out, working it out -- and when to ask for help.
