Read about how teenagers can cope with stress while having exams and decide if the statements are True or False.

Many teenagers have different tests and exams at school. While some of them feel calm in these situations, others can't cope with stress and feel nervous. So, how can you identify that you have stress?

1. You start eating a lot.

2. You have a constant headache.

3. You start having heart problems (like irregular heartbeat).

4. You can't eat at all, and you don't have an appetite.

5. You have problems with your sleep.

Why do teenagers have stress? It is because when they have the first exam or test in their life, they feel uncomfortable and nervous. They memorise this feeling, and after that they feel the same when they have regular tests and exams. So, how can you act before the exams in order to avoid a lot of stress?

1. You should plan your day.

2. You should find your motivation and understand why you suffer stress.

3. You should eat regularly.

4. You should go to bed early and sleep for 7–8 hours.

5. You should not forget about physical activity: go to the gym or play team sports; it will give you a lot of energy.

6. You should express your emotions: talk to your friends and parents, share your worries, and ask them questions.

7. You should practise before real exams: if you do this, you will feel comfortable and less nervous.
