Unnecessary stress- the leading cause of breakdowns and depressions in teenagers. Many of us would agree that the youths of today worry about the smallest things. Be it relationships, studies or even what food to eat, we just keep worrying!

Okays. I know if i were to drag on with this formal tone, many of you all would just simply click the "x" at the top-right hand corner of the screen. So here goes, informally:

What's that stiffness in my neck?
Feel that lump come in my throat
Stomach dropping to my knees
Feel like I just missed the boat

Panic rising to my head
Heartbeat racing, breathing fast
Can I do it?
Will I fail
How long will these feelings last?

Apprehension overwhelms
Nervous twitching, fingers curled
Tension headache, aching back
All these symptoms now unfurled

Now my body's overun
Hormones racing from my glands
Must release it, let it out
How to do it's in my hands

Lost our way of fight or flight
Stored up anger, unreleased
Words and shouting flung about
Now it's time that raging ceased

Relaxation, that's the key
Integration of the mind
Exercise, good food to eat
Leave those worries far behind

Hold that stress out at arm's length
Draw it, write it, let it go
Roll it in a little ball
Throw it out, release that woe

Find the tools you have inside Make a choice to be serene
Welcome it, become its friend
Don't put life in quarantine.

What's the title of the poem? Yes. Its stress. Can you feel it?
