From exams to tik tok there are many sources of stress and chaos in teenagers but it is not limited to this but there are many other factors that can lead to stress in teenagers like:

1) Period of entering puberty or strain in relationships with friends and loved ones.

2) Pressure to do well in academics or physical activities to qualify for scholarships and get into college.

Sometimes childhood stress continues into your teenage years.
