Six in 10 in the survey say the
12、y are usually hopeful and enjoy life. Half even concede they feel understood by their families. What Causes the Stress Problem?The survey shows plenty of sources of stress, led by the seven in 10 students who attribute it to schoolwork and grades.

19、eek 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 suicide in the past year, that
20、 doesnt mean there have been that many attempts because many people often know each individual who has tried.
