   Citizen Service (NCS), the country's flagship youth empowerment
   programme, reveals the expected impacts of exam stress on the health,
   hygiene and mood of British teenagers over the course of the revision

   The survey of 1,000 teenagers taking exams this summer showed 78 per
   cent expect exam stress to have negative impacts to their appearance,
   health or mental state in some way during the revision period with many
   eating more or less than usual, one in ten not having time to shower or
   change their clothes and one in five not leaving the house for days.
   Stress will even cause some teens to sit alone in the dark in angst,
   whereas others may show signs of anger.
