In addition some coping mechanisms for adolescents can be: to talk about problems with others. Take deep breaths, accompanied by thinking or saying aloud, “I can handle this.” Set small goals and break tasks into smaller, manageable chunks. Exercise and eat regular meals. Get proper sleep. Practice consistent, positive discipline. Visualize and practice feared situations. Focus on what you can control (your reactions, your actions) and let go of what you cannot (other people’s opinions and expectations). Work through worst-case scenarios until they seem amusing or absurd. Accept yourself as you are; identify your unique strengths and build on them. Give up on the idea of perfection, both in yourself and in others. Give yourself permission and cultivate the ability to learn from mistakes.
