The first place you can start to look for relief from teen stress is at school. There are always a certain class of people who desperately want to help teens get through their problems and find solutions, but they usually sit in their offices waiting in vain for someone to talk to them. These people are known as guidance counselors and they are there to help you. It is really very rare for someone to avail themselves of this prime opportunity for assistance, so actually sitting down with somebody is a treat for them and they will do all they can to help. Many people think that guidance counselors are really just lost souls who can't seem to get out of school, but that is not the case. Guidance counselors chose their career because they want to help others. Which means that they are there to help you.

If you only go to them in order to get help with your schoolwork, they will happily give you assistance. They can actually help you through any issues or difficulties that you may be having and you will can learn more from them after class than you will during class.
