There are two main kinds of stress: eustress (good stress) and distress (bad stress).

Good stress (eustress) helps you feel excited and ready to do your best. It gives you energy and focus, like when you study for a test, practice hard for a game, or prepare for a school play, and it can help you grow and learn.

Bad stress (distress) makes you feel overwhelmed, worried, or tired for a long time. It can make it hard to sleep, eat, or think clearly — for example when someone is bullying you, your family is arguing, or you have too much work without a break — and you should tell a trusted adult so you can get help.
