Dealing with Stress - Whats Your Coping Mechanism?

Everyone tends to handle stress differently than others: some tend to cry, some fight, and some people learn breathing techniques. When people let out their stress, they usually seem to cry. Stress come from many different things but teens say that their stress comes from their parents, and then the parents say that it is their kids fault. Everyone has stress and some people can hide it and some people can’t.

Stress come in every form and sometimes stress pushes people far enough for them to kill themselves. Over 350,000 people killed themselves in 2020 over stress. Studies showed that the percent rate of people killing themselves each year goes up by 65%. Stress can drive a person into a mental breakdown. These breakdowns can sometimes cause a person to go mentally insane and have to go to a insane asylum. There is many coping mechanisms, some good and some bad. An example of a bad one is people self harm and there is many different ways of self harm. There are good ones such as venting to someone or talking to a psychiatrist or even writing in a book is a form of venting.
