  • “When you’re stressed, what are the first body clues you notice?”
  • “What helps a little in the moment—even if it doesn’t fix everything?”
  • “Who’s on your support list, and how would you contact them?”

Life Skills for Teen Years

Teen life can bring changing friendships, school pressure, independence, and online stress. Support is a strength, not a failure.

School Pressure

Break work into steps, plan rest, and tell someone early when workload or worry feels too heavy.

Friends and Boundaries

Healthy friends respect “no,” make space for honesty, and do not demand unsafe choices.

Digital Life

Notice how feeds or chats affect mood; take breaks, block harm, and tell an adult about threats or bullying.

You deserve support: if you feel unsafe, hopeless, or think about self-harm, tell a trusted adult or contact local urgent support immediately.
