Then you start procrastinating (拖延), and it all piles
5、 up.“ Many cite eating problems and say they have felt lonely, depressed, like they are failures.

The youngest students cite frequent stres
12、s most often. Whites report more stress than blacks and Hispanics.

17、y one in five say they would seek out school counselors.Of the 9% who said they had considered suicide in the past year, only half said they had considered talking to a counselor or professional and four in 10 had actually received such help. While 11% said they had friends who had tried committing
