8.Dealing with Stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time. (1)
Some ways of dealing with stress — like screaming, crying or hitting a wall — don't solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can start you on the road to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these steps the next time you are stressed:
• Let your feelings go wild when you're upset. Firstly, notice your feelings, and name them — for example, "I am so angry!"And say or think about why you feel that way. (2)
• Take your stress out on yourselves. But that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Be kind to yourself and ask for a helping hand or a pat on the back that you need.
• Get support from adults and friends. It's time to start business. (3)
Even if you can't solve it, maybe you can begin by solving a piece of it.

It may not seem like it when you're under stress, but stress does go away, often when you know the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren't magic — and you might have to do some steps more than once, but they do work (起作用). And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a hard time, you'll help yourself feel better and even stress will go faster. (5)
