NEED HELP Everyone goes through stressful times. Some stressful situations pass quickly, such as taking a tough test. Other stressful situations, such as moving or having parents get divorced, may last for months. Stress can affect mood, energy, sleep, and physical health. In some cases, the impact of stress becomes overwhelming. Think of a serious stressful situation. Imagine a person your age going through that situation.
