-- Posted by SHBueche at 2:41 pm on June 3, 2008 Hello! I am a children's book author (and parent of 2 teens, BTW) and I am writing a book for the school library market on teen stress. I have used this forum before, with great results. I'd like to hear from you about your stress, how stressed are you, what is the main cause of stress in your life, whether or not you feel more stressed than your friends, and what you do to relax. Thanks, please feel free to use your name, a nickname and/or remain anonymous. Also, please send me an e-mail (SHBueche@aol.com) or post here to Live Wire, whichever one works best for you. Thanks so much, Shelley Bueche -- Posted by acausedelle at 2:42 pm on June 3, 2008 This is a teen forum. -- Posted by Energizer Bunny at 2:42 pm on June 3, 2008 I use alcohol to chill out :D -- Posted by Energizer Bunny at 2:42 pm on June 3, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 2:42 pm on June 3, 2008 This is a teen forum. -- Posted by greenybug at 2:42 pm on June 3, 2008 your a lil old to be here -- Posted by batter my sausage at 2:43 pm on June 3, 2008 get off bitch! nah...jus measin!! welcome home!! -- Posted by ooot4y10r at 2:43 pm on June 3, 2008 Homework/projects on top of friend drama stresses me out to no end. -- Posted by chiicka2011 at 2:43 pm on June 3, 2008 im stressed because of my parents always yelling and school and high expectations from everyone. i have ulcers because of it. -- Posted by chartiest at 2:43 pm on June 3, 2008 Wow ! your a very open parent but i doubt i would feel comfortable telling  an adult stranger on a site about my stress problems. -- Posted by katzkitten at 2:44 pm on June 3, 2008 school an boys mainly. and my mum ranting at me about the mes of my room makes me want to punch walls and hack at things :) sometimes myself, but i do find etting drunk helps this :) not an alcoholic at all, ccasional drink on a weekend is enough :) x -- Posted by x555vampire666x at 2:45 pm on June 3, 2008 hello..um first off your to old to be here lol jk i rly dont care...but i would love to help you just p.m. me -- Posted by Leah Louise at 2:46 pm on June 3, 2008 School Boys FOOD <---TOTALL EWW um alot -- Posted by taraxgoesxboom at 2:47 pm on June 3, 2008 Quote: from Energizer Bunny at 2:42 pm on June 3, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 2:42 pm on June 3, 2008 This is a teen forum.   lmao, that man's sexy. -- Posted by Allie Cat666 at 2:47 pm on June 3, 2008 I get stressed a lot, but it passes. i try to keep it to myself when i am stressed, but then my dad realizes that something is wrong and he decides that he neeeeeds to get to the bottom of it. i would much rather be left alone, but parents just know when something's up. i will also try lying down and reading a good, relaxing book to get over it. also, u could listen to ur favorite song or do some homework. my main cause of stress is school and home. -- Posted by Energizer Bunny at 2:48 pm on June 3, 2008 Quote: from taraxgoesxboom at 2:47 pm on June 3, 2008 Quote: from Energizer Bunny at 2:42 pm on June 3, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 2:42 pm on June 3, 2008 This is a teen forum.     lmao, that man's sexy.

Love the photo someone posted. -- Posted by neverjeeps at 2:50 pm on June 3, 2008 School is the place of most stress. I hate it that my parents don't know what i'm studying because when they were in highschool they didn't have to study as hard. They said that if they showed up to class they would pass, now I can show up everyday do all of the homework, go in for morning tutoring and still fail. And that all of these rules from school and the stucture is useless when we can see past it and know that we will not be using the skills we are forced to learn for the rest of our lives. Highschool and college are very different too. College is lecture when in highschool they try to have fun and fill the class with useless side projects when we could run through the information in a 10 minute lecture. -- Posted by SHBueche at 2:50 pm on June 3, 2008 I sometimes use alcohol to chill out too :) -- Posted by Tavis at 2:55 pm on June 3, 2008 School. Top on almost everyone's list. -- Posted by LudovicoTechnique at 2:58 pm on June 3, 2008 The source of stress in my life comes from a couple things, the biggest problem for me is my parents ridiculously high expectations. Also theres the obvious ones such as college, fitting in, and, as of just recently, having a job. I've always felt like I'm the most stressed out of all my friends. I relieve my stress by just relaxing with my friends over the weekend or playing sports and occasionally drinking. -- Posted by drphilforlife at 6:10 am on June 4, 2008 stress off boitch lol onle messinxxxxxx
