Kids and stress

Stressed out by your high-pressured job? Don't assume your kid is any less stressed out by school, especially if she's a she.
Young people experience stress at a high rate, and females more than males, an extensive survey shows. A similar divide exists in terms of fears and safety: Girls and young women are less likely to feel safe in their neighborhoods, in schools, or from terror attacks. The source of stress changes as we get older, the survey shows. Among 13-17 year olds, school is by far the most commonly mentioned source. Among 18-24 year olds, it's jobs and financial matters. In all, fully 85 percent of young people said they felt stress at least sometimes.
