As individuals progress through different stages of life, their responses to stress tend to vary. One notable distinction lies between the ways in which younger and older people cope with stressful situations.
During adolescence and young adulthood, individuals often exhibit a heightened stress response. This may be attributed to factors such as hormonal fluctuations, increased social and academic pressures, and limited life experience. Younger individuals may display more intense emotional reactions to stressors and engage in impulsive or risk-taking behaviors as a means of coping.
