Homework, grades, relationships, family, appearance, money, expectations, the future-sometimes it's all just too much. This program explains exactly what stress is, distinguishes between bad stress and good stress, outlines symptoms of stress overload, and suggests strategies to keep stress levels in check. Not everyone experiences stress in the same way, but Help! I'm Stressed! can help anyone learn how to handle stress better.
