This paragraph does a couple of things for the piece.

1. It introduces the types of stress teens face. (Sentence 1)

2. It introduces the main subject matter of the piece. (Sentence 2, "And" to "cope")

3. It backs up the claim of the piece by supporting it with factual evidence of sited sources. (the rest of sentence 2.)
