QUESTION 1
Read the following extract and answer the questions given below.
Adolescence is a developmental period characterized by multiple changes in virtually every
aspect of an individual's life, calling for new psychological adaptations. Exposure to different
stressors caused by these changes represents a central and normal part of the process of
growth and development during adolescence. However, experience of cumulative and
simultaneous negative stressors remains central as a potential threat to the well-being and
healthy development during adolescence. Meanwhile, when faced with identical stressors, the
stress process and the health outcomes of stress vary individually; the outcome depends on
the role of different vulnerabilities and protective factors, in the individual as well as in the
environment.
(Taken from Gouws 2019)
1.1 What are the physical symptoms of stress in adolescence that you as a teacher must
be aware of? (5)

1.3 What advice would you give teachers to help the learners in their classrooms to deal
with stress? (5)
1.4 Stress can cause adolescents to be more vulnerable and prone to suicide. It is,
therefore, important that you as a teacher are knowledgeable about suicide ideation
and attempts. How can you, as a teacher, contribute to prevent teenage suicide?
