Asking students work in
small groups to create anti

Parents and teacher
should communicate with
each other and observe
teens 'behaviors to find
alternative ways to handle
these difficult feelings
without smoking .
School 'guide should help
teens at this stage .how
can they deal with stressful
situations .
