Introduction
Bullying is defined as seeking to harm, intimidate, or coerce someone perceived as vulnerable. Bullying within the adolescent community affects about 20-30 % of students who admit being the perpetrator or victim of such harassment (Faulkner, 2018).
Describe two stressors that are unique to adolescents
Bullying and identity confusion are two stressors affecting adolescent population. Bullying in any form can lead to teen depression or suicide (Falkner, 2018). Educating students, parents, professionals and communities on effects of bullying such as teen suicide and depression is imperative to stop the trend. Signs and symptoms of depression are: loss of interest in activities, sadness or hopelessness, irritability, withdrawal from friends and family, changes in eating and sleeping habits, feeling of guilt, lack of motivation/enthusiasm, fatigue and suicidal ideation..
Risk taking behaviors resulting from the external stressors and the coping mechanism
Low socioeconomic status, being pessimistic, cognitive factors, and gender are contributing factors that can lead to higher risk of adolescent depression (Kislitsyna, 2010). Females may be at a greater risk for developing depression because girls are more socially oriented, more dependent on positive social relations and more vulnerable to loss of such relations. Adolescents living with guardians that are depressed may also become depressed. The coping mechanisms are eating healthily, adequate exercising, sleeping adequately and building adequate relaxation time into busy schedules for teenagers. In addition, parents and caregivers should learn to listen carefully to teenager`s problems and support them in sports and other pro-social activities.
Conclusion
People who force and those who are bullied have been found have suicidal ideation, physical injury, somatic problems, anxiety, loe self esteem, depression and school absenteeism than those not involved with bullying (Klein, Myhre, & Ahrendt, 2013).

Describe two external stressors that are unique to adolescents. Discuss what risk-taking behaviors may result from the external stressors and what support or coping mechanism can be introduced.
According to Falkner, “Teenagers are often considered part of a vulnerable population group. Vulnerable populations as individuals who require special attention related to well-being and safety” (2018). Many external stressors exist in the world today, but two stressors that are unique to the adolescent population is peer pressure to engage in sexual activity, as well as social acceptance by peers which helps develop positive or negative self-image. Understanding the stages of this developmental period is important to provide further support when teenager and adolescents are asking for help.

Bullying is one of the unfortunate truths many admit to experiences in his or her life. This impacts one’s feeling of self-esteem, as well as impacts the value the hold toward themselves. When social acceptance plays such a large part in who you become, it is likely to bring negative opinions as well. Becoming one’s own source of positive reinforcement and positive talk will take the reliance of other’s and caring about other’s opinions will play less and less of a role in the development of self. When adolescents listen to opinions from others it can result in many negative outcomes, such as self-injury, withdrawal, or possible suicide. Jantzer, Haffner, Parzer, Resch, & Kaess states, “Bullying within the adolescent community is a growing concern, affecting nearly 20–30% of students who admit to being the perpetrator or victim o
Though separate, bullying and peer influence plays a big factor in sexual partners. Though often sexual partners are by choice, there may be sometimes when “friends” force others to engage in sexual activity with someone who he or she is not intending to. There is a fine line here between consensual and forced, but when peer image plays such a substantial part in how you develop, listening to your “friends” and what they think of you makes a huge impact on the wellbeing. Encouraging individuals to think positive thoughts and have positive self-image will remove many of these external stressors faced by many.
