Greetings!
I am working on a research project that includes adolescent stressful life events as one of the variables. As an instrument to measure this construct, I found the Life Events Checklist developed by Gray et al. (2004) among undergraduate students and veterans. I am wondering if you know a measure that can speak more to the stressful experiences of adolescents.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you in advance!

Hulya, this is an important and topical area of research, which could benefit from additional attention and focus. You may be interested in examining and adapting for your study's purposes the following works on stress measurement among adolescents:
Oldehinkel, A. J., Ormel, J., Bosch, N. M., Bouma, E. M., Van Roon, A. M., Rosmalen, J. G., & Riese, H. (2011). Stressed out? Associations between perceived and physiological stress responses in adolescents: The TRAILS study. Psychophysiology, 48(4), 441-452.
Lazarus, R. S. (1990). Theory-based stress measurement. Psychological inquiry, 1(1), 3-13.
Seiffge-Krenke, I. (2013). Stress, coping, and relationships in adolescence. Psychology Press.
I'd be interested in the developments. All the best.
The focus of the present study is to identify the effects that self-esteem has on stressful experiences and how the adolescent copes with stress levels. Methods: A sample of 200 teenagers (N=132) female and (N=68) male, aged between 13 and 18 years. Rosenberg rating scale and Self-Evaluation Rate of Self-Assessment to adolescents were used for the development of research. Results: About 26.5% of adolescents experience high levels of stress, 28.5% moderate stress, and the majority of 45% with low stress levels. Differences were found between women and men (t=2.256, p ≤ 0.05) in terms of stress levels, where men had higher stress levels (M=259.26, SD=17.583) compared to women (M=198.07, SD=187.156). Conclusion: The presences of stressful experiences during adolescence are seen as a strong point in how teenagers will cope with stressful events along their lifetime. An adolescent with a high self-esteem will be able to better manage internal personal resources in the way he copes with stressful experiences.
