In High School a lot of a student's stress is from the lack of time management. This site is a lesson that can be used in a few different classes to show the students how their time management is affecting their life. I would be able to use it in a composition class by having the students write short essays on their time management. It is a different kind of exercise that can be used to teach students real life skills.

This website is a very good article by Katharine Kam that talks about School Stress Management. Many high school students suffer from stress because of time management. They believe that they do not have enough time to work, sleep, do homework and hang out with friends, so a student will become stressed because of all of the activities he/she has to do. The article talks about teaching students time management skills, how to recognize a stressed out student, and keeping fun throughout a student's teen years. This is a good handout for parents because many teens are stressed out during their high school years. If a parent or teacher is able to recognize this stress then they can better help the student.

This is a great website that has many different links to other resources dealing with students and stress. It is important to provide more than just one resource when dealing with stress because not every resource will work for every student. It is better to have a mixture so that the student is able to pick a resource they like.
