As a teenager， you’re trying to learn who you are. You’re going through mental and physical changes. You’re dealing with different kinds of stress and trying to succeed in school.

The good news is that though the teen years are tough， there are skills you can learn to make them a lot easier.

If you’re a teen and trying to manage your feelings better， here are a few skills for you to deal with your feelings.

Name the feeling.

What feeling are you experiencing? For example， are you sad， stressed. Angry， joyful or excited?

Accept what you’re feeling.

Many people worry that their feelings will increase. So they are not willing to accept them， hoping that they’ll just go away. However， that’s impossible. Remind yourself that it’s OK to feel your feelings.

Become familiar with your feelings.

To better understand your feelings， you should pay attention to your feelings all over the day. You may record how you’re feeling in the morning， afternoon and at night on a piece of paper. Next to your feeling， also write down where you notice it in your body.

Express your feelings.

Expressing a feeling is a good way to reduce it. For example， you can express your feelings by crying， exercising， writing about them or talking to someone you trust. Just be sure that whatever activity you choose， it doesn’t hurt you or anyone else.

At different times in your life， you’ll experience different difficulties. But by learning some helpful skills， you’ll be able to live a comfortable life.
