Globalization exposes children and young people all over the world to various new standards and options. Now children not only have new resources in their lives, but are also expected to perform well. Different institutions in children and adolescents’ lives, such as family, school, and the media, constantly provide stimulation as well as expectations. This exposure to new expectations and demands has the potential to create stress in young people’s lives, especially related to evaluation of their performances. The current scenario is challenging for both teachers and parents, as well as for children, to foster a positive mental health status. The transition from early childhood to youth and adulthood can be demanding in itself. In the midst of dealing with physical changes, children also have to develop their own identity, increase their autonomy from their parents, and handle changing peer relations. The pressure on young people also varies, encompassing academic, commercial/marketing, and relational issues, as well as succeeding in school, being popular, having a fit or slim body, wearing the right brands of clothes, and owning the latest technological gadgets, etc. This set of expectations creates stress, which impacts children and young people’s mental health and well-being, as well as hampers their school performance.

Stress comes from various sources of a different nature, such as physical, psychological, emotional, social, etc. Yoga may well be effective as on stress, but not yet a proven stand-alone, curative treatment. Larger-scale and more rigorous research with higher methodological quality and adequate control interventions is highly encouraged because yoga may have potential to be implemented as a beneficial supportive/adjunct treatment that is relatively cost-effective, may be practiced at least in part as self-care behavioral treatment, provides a life-long behavioral skill, enhances self-efficacy and self-confidence and is often associated with additional positive side effects.

How to manage stress

Because we all react differently to stress, there is not only one right way to manage it. Each person has to find the method that suits him or her. Here are a few ways to find helpful solutions:

• Recognize the types of events that cause you stress. Be attentive to the symptoms of stress and take note of the things that affect you the most.
• Figure out the problem. When you identify it, it is easier to face it.
• Talk about your problems with people you trust. By expressing your feelings, your stress will be reduced. Don’t hesitate to consult a professional if you feel the need.
• Get informed about stress-management techniques. You can consult a health professional to help you or read books on this topic.
• Release tension by exercising.
• Discuss your issues with your work superior or colleagues. They may be able to help you find strategies to reduce your level of stress or your workload.
• Learn to delegate and to establish priorities.
• Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Stress is a problem that infiltrates our society in countless ways. It manifests itself at the office, at home and in our relationships with others, and it can also affect our loved ones. We should all take the time to re-evaluate our stress level for the well-being of our society and ourselves.

Youths can be helped through encouragement and offering of good mentorship.

Hi, we have conducted a quality study on generation Y. You can refer the paper. Motivation & Attitude of Generation Y in India: An Exploratory Study, Jul 2017, Indian journal of industrial relations

They motivated through freedom, meaningful work, challenges, social contribution and they want to role model for others.

Thanks

I think a lot of this responsibility lies with the government of each country.
