Feeling stressed is your body’s way of responding to challenges or pressure. School, friendships, family situations, or even exciting changes can trigger stress. Your brain releases chemicals that make your heart race, your muscles tense, and your thoughts speed up. While some stress is normal and can even help you focus, too much stress for too long can feel overwhelming.
