When you are in a situation that feels like as if the world is closing in on you and that your head seems ready to burst, how would teenager react in such a situation? Are you a teenager who would give in or are you a teen who would fight back ferociously? The best option would would be to step back and wait for your part of the world to set itself right again.

There is no point in being weak, helpless and giving up easily under difficult circumstances. Many teenagers suffer from the examination stress. Not performing well in exams is certainly no reason to end your life. Remember, that most successful people have not necessarily been academically brilliant. So how does an exam or two matter here or there. But for students whole whole world is the exam, at the moment there seems no life beyond it. It is only when you remove yourself from a situation and place yourself at a distance that things fall into the right perspective.

A lot of people give into pressure when they break up with their partner. Even if they don’t take the drastic step of ending their life, they may waste years in depression. And yet life moves on. Some years later, comfortably wrapped in another relationship, they realize the futility of all that heart burn. If only had they been able to distance themselves from the situation then, how much simpler life would have been and how much less painful the transition.

Apart from the losers who give in, there are those who under pressure fight back, not caring whether they are biting or hurting an enemy or a friend. So badly affected are they by the situation that they forget to distinguish between enemy and friend. Again, if only they could step away and consider the situation in larger context, life would seem so much more better.
