Tests, SATs, sports, extracurricular activities, BFF drama, parents-- we certainly face a lot of pressure, and that pressure can lead to...well, we'll let Amelia tell you where that pressure can lead to and how to avoid it.

(Describer) Outside...

It's a feeling of fear like you can't escape. Someone creeping up your back with their fingers to reach up your neck and get into your brain. Like fear, like panicking. Like bone crushing, heart stopping. I don't know, like it just makes you feel... Being really stressed out about a lot of things all at once.

(Amelia) They're describing anxiety-- that awful feeling one gets in the pit of their stomach.

(Describer) Amelia:

Feeling under pressure is one of the causes of anxiety. To learn about dealing with anxiety, we're speaking with psychologist Dr. Susan Heitler. She wrote the book, "Prescriptions Without Pills." Hi, Doc. Hello there. What exactly is anxiety? Anxiety is that scared feeling that you may be aware of in your stomach, your chest, or like something's stuck in your throat. It comes up when you see something ahead of you that looks like it might be dangerous or hurt you. It's not just something you see. It's something you're thinking about, right? It can come from thoughts. It can come from an actual situation. Interesting. So besides things like having to worry about tests or about making it on the sports team or having to deal with parents, what are other things that cause teens to be anxious? One source of anxiety is college. What am I going to do after high school? Another may be what's going on between my parents, as well as how they react to what I do. Probably the biggest source, though, is friends. Do they like me? Will I get a boyfriend? Those are all anxiety-provoking arenas. How about the thing called performance anxiety? What exactly is that? So performance anxiety comes up when you're going to be in front of other people. Some people just get scared because people are watching them. Others get more scared, because they're thinking, "This is my big chance." Any thought about the "bigs" increases nervous feelings. Anything new like, "Oh, this is the first time our team has played against that team." Another big way to feel anxious when you're going in front of people, "What do they think about me? How am I doing in their eyes?" So instead, in performance situations, just focus on what you're doing. Keep right in the present and in the flow. So how does information help fight anxiety? Getting information is the first step toward problem solving. Anxiety alerts you that there's a problem ahead. Let's take the simple example of a test coming up. If you're anxious, figure out precisely what information you need. "I need to know what the test is going to cover, how long we'll have to do the test." The more information you have, the more likely you can then go into planning how to prepare. Preparation makes a big difference. Any other things we didn't talk about that can help reduce anxiety for us teens? Well, just remember, anxiety is there to help you. It alerts you that there's a problem ahead. So pay attention. Think about what's triggering that anxiety when you have that anxious feeling. Get information and come up with a plan of action. Good information. Thanks, Doc. You're welcome. If all this talk about anxiety is making you anxious, remember, knowledge is power. The more you know what's causing anxiety, the more you can get it under control. For Teen Kids News, I'm Amelia. Exploring the final frontier or wiping out poverty-- what should government spending focus on? We'll get your opinion next in Speak of the Week.

Speak of the Week is when we hear what you say. Here's this week's question.

(Describer) Eden:

A couple of years ago, the space probe New Horizons reached Pluto-- the furthest planet in our solar system. And yes, it is a planet. After being demoted in 2006, Pluto was recently reinstated as our ninth planet. While studying Pluto, the probe sent back amazing pictures. The probe is now flying even deeper into space on a mission to study objects floating in what's called the Kuiper Belt. The NASA mission to Pluto cost almost a billion dollars. So what do you think?

(Describer) Different kids answer:

Probably getting rid of poverty and all those other things. I think that's more important for us right now. I think the government should give the funds to education. It might actually help us and might improve upon education. We don't know until we try. They should spend this money, because they should explore the new planets and determine if there's life on there, if there's water or anything, so yeah. Saving the earth right now is a better idea. Of course, the government will be quick to point out many of today's must-have products came from the space program. For example, paint that protects against rust, eyeglass lenses that are scratchproof, the insulin pump used by millions of people with diabetes, solar-powered devices, highly efficient filters that protect our municipal water supplies, and even the personal computer. Guess you could say that list is literally out of this world. With Speak of the Week, I'm Eden. [band playing, "Hail to the Chief"]

♪

Sprains and strains are a pain. A little first aid can go a long way. Lipica Shah is an instructor for the American Red Cross. What is the difference between a sprain and a strain? A sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments at a joint. A strain is the stretching or tearing of your muscles and tendons. So different body parts. What do we do? Let's all get on the ground...

(Describer) They sit with another girl.

because if you hurt your ankle, you'd be on the ground, right?

(Describer) The girl straightens one leg.

Regardless whether it's a sprain or strain, we treat it the same way using the acronym RICE--R-I-C-E. That stands for... Rest means stay in the position that we found it. If it's at an awkward angle, leave it that way. Straightening it out could cause the injury to be worse. Immobilize comes into play if I need to move Cami if it's unsafe where I am. I want to make sure her injury isn't going to move while we are moving. I might do something to keep it in place. Cold is important. That's exactly what it sounds like. Take something cold--ice pack, a bag of frozen vegetables, anything to help reduce swelling. I'll put a towel or other material between her skin and ice and put the ice right over the injury site. Elevation's another way to reduce swelling. It should only be done if it won't cause pain. I'm gently going to lift her foot. Can you grab that backpack? You can use anything to elevate the injury.

(Describer) Alexa moves it under Cammi’s foot.

Gently place it back down. That's all you do for a sprain or strain. R-I-C-E--rest, immobilize, cold, elevate. RICE is good to know, but remember--

When Teen Kids News continues, I'll show a snack that's fun to make and eat. We'll be right back.

(Describer) Livia:

We've got another easy recipe to impress your family and friends, courtesy of the Culinary Institute of America.

(Describer) In a kitchen...

Consider the mango.

(Describer) Gene’e:

It's the national fruit of India and Pakistan. In America, the mango isn't on the list of our top ten fruits. Mangoes are sweet, tasty, and good for you. I'm going to show you my recipe for making mango roll-ups. Here's what we need.

(Describer) She picks up a mango.

Surprise! just one ingredient. I'm going to use two mangoes-- perfect for a one-sheet tray. First, before we cut into anything,

(Describer) A cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

we're going to turn our oven on and preheat it to 170 degrees.

(Describer) She switches it on and turns a dial.

It's a perfect low temperature to cook our roll-ups at.

(Describer) She goes back to the mango on the counter.'And now we’re gonna peel our mango.

And now we're going to peel our mango.

(Describer) With a peeler, she goes down the mango lengthwise and takes off a strip of peel, then she keeps peeling.

It's just a regular peeler you have at home--nothing special.

(Describer) She takes off more green peel, revealing the firm yellow flesh.

This does get really slippery, so be careful.

(Describer) She holds the mango in one hand while peeling with the other, going from the pointed end to the rounder one.

(Describer) She finishes by clearing off any spots missed and trimming the ends.

Be sure to get all the skin off.

(Describer) She puts away the peeler, and brings out a bowl, then put the peels into it.

Get the peels out of our way. Now we'll cut our mango. You want parental permission to use a knife, or ask for help. The mango has a funny seed in it. It's oval, and it's flat shaped like the mango. So you want to cut along the seed.

(Describer) She holds the mango still on the board with her fingertips as she picks up a knife. Just off the center, she slowly cuts down.

Alright. If you hit the seed with your blade, don't force the knife. You want to start over and come through again. There you go.

(Describer) She cuts off a section of mango.

This is the seed. You can't see it much. This is the shape of your seed. We're going to cut the other side.

(Describer) She holds the cut side toward her and again cuts off-center slowly.

Alright, perfect.

(Describer) She puts the middle section away.

Next we're just going to cut this into chunks before we put it into our blender.

(Describer) She cuts up a section lengthwise, then crosswise.

When using your knife, tuck your fingers in. Then you don't get them in the way.

(Describer) She holds the other section with her fingers bent as she cuts it up the same way.

Perfect. So I already precut one of my mangoes. We're using two for this recipe, so I'm going to combine it.

(Describer) She combines all the chunks in a bowl.

We're going to go into the blender.

(Describer) Setting down the bowl, she takes the top off the blender.

Alright, you add it all in there.

(Describer) She pours the chunks into the blender.

Mangoes are really sweet. You don't have to add sweetener or additives. It's going to be sweet on its own.

(Describer) She puts the top back on the blender.

We're turning on our blender. Start with a low speed, and you can increase as needed.

(Describer) A little later, she finishes blending.

Alrighty, perfect.

(Describer) She takes off the top, then picks up the blender pitcher from its base.

What we're going to do is take our mango-- blended smooth-- and go right onto our sheet pan. I lined it with parchment paper. Use wax paper, whatever you have to help it prevent from sticking to the pan.

(Describer) With help from a rubber spatula, she pours out the mango purée, then cleans off the spout to keep it from dripping. She sets the pitcher aside.

Alrighty. You want to smooth it out as evenly as possible. Get it towards all the corners.

(Describer) She spreads out the purée with the spatula.

This looks good. It's a bright, yellow color. I'll get a little more in there.

(Describer) She pours out some more from the pitcher,

Alrighty.

(Describer) She spreads it out.

Smooth it out to about an eighth of an inch thick. Okay, now that it's all even,

(Describer) She puts the spatula in the pitcher.

we'll tap it twice before putting it into the oven. This helps get the air bubbles out.

(Describer) She lifts the sheet a little and drops it.

[bangs]

Alright.

(Describer) Then she takes it to the oven. She opens it, and puts the tray inside.

We're going to leave this for two hours. Check it after one hour, and rotate your pan so it cooks evenly.

(Describer) Later, she lays down the dried mango and paper.

I took this out after two hours and let it cool for 45 minutes. Now we're ready to make our roll-up.

(Describer) She gets some scissors and picks up one end.

What I'm going to do here is cut. I'm going to cut the edge to get a nice roll-up. And we don't need this part here.

(Describer) She cuts off one shorter end of the sheet of mango and paper.

Then make about an inch to an inch and a half roll-ups.

(Describer) She cuts again.

Little strips here. Look how fun this is.

(Describer) She finished cutting off the strip, and starts doing another.

I'll just do about two. Then we're going to roll it up.

(Describer) She rolls with the paper on the outside.

Put these in your lunch box, take it to school.

(Describer) She rolls the first strip tightly and keeps it straight.

It's so easy, just one ingredient. Alrighty.

(Describer) She finishes that strip and starts rolling the other.

You can store them in a Ziploc bag, so you'll have them for the week. There you go. So besides helping to fight diseases like cancer, mangoes help improve memory and concentration. Before your next test, try munching on a mango roll-up.

(Describer) She peels a strip of mango from its paper. Then she tears off a piece, and eats it.
