you face stress, use some of these strategies to manage it.
Getting a good night's sleep: Teens need eight to ten hours of sleep a day, so get enough
sleep. To make it easier, keep your smartphone away from your bed.

exercise for at least 60 minutes a day.
Talking it out: Talk about your stress to an adult. This person can be your teacher, parent,
or someone you trust.
