  2. Get active- Go for a walk, cycle or play a musical instrument.Volunteer to help with your community drive or activity. These can be ways to handle your feelings and see that things are going to get better.

  3. Talk to others- Share you feelings with a parent or friend. Send a message or make a call. Talking and staying connected can help you make sense out of your experience and figure out ways to feel better. Reach out and connect. 

  4. Avoid drugs and alcohol- People often think that these may seem to help, however they may be increasing the stress you are already feeling!
