Abstract In recent years, the effects of stress on adolescence have attracted more and more attention. Because adolescent brains that remain in development are very sensitive to stress, the accumulative effects of stress events during this period on the adult behavior are induced easily. These adult people are particularly sensitive to stress and vulnerable to anxiety, depression or other physical traumas. Studies show that the damage of exposure to stress to the brain is more serious in adolescence than that in adulthood. In the meantime, however, the plasticity of the brain during adolescence can be used as the right time of intervention to reduce later emotional and physical diseases. So, preventive measures or scientific interventions should be taken by school together with family and society to ensure adolescent brain development normally and to avoid causing the irreversible brain damage.
