22 22  School can be super stressful - tests, homework, group projects... it never stops! I used to sit at my desk for hours thinking, "If I don't finish now, my life is over." Spoiler: that didn't help at all.
23 23  Last term, I started taking a 15-minute walk before studying. At first it felt strange — who takes a walk when you have a million things to do? But guess what? It actually works. Fresh air, moving my legs, seeing the sky... suddenly my brain feels awake again. I concentrate better and finish homework faster. Plus, it's a great way to calm down when everything feels too much.
24 24  So next time you feel stuck, try going outside. No phone, no music - just a walk. Do you already have a routine that helps you relax? Share it with us!

71 +"Social Media and Teenagers"
72 +
73 +In my opinion social media is very bad. Many teenagers uses it everyday and it have a big influence to their life. You must not to spend too much time online. Also it is important that students are checking their phones less frequently.
74 +
75 +For example many young people scrolls for hours and they don't doing their homework. That is a serious problem. In addition social media can makes you feel bad because you are comparing yourself with others.
76 +
77 +In conclusion I think it is important to reduce the usage of social media. What is your opinion about this topic? Write it in the comments.
