Gaia:How the adolescents cope with stress is an important component of the mental health and well-being. Adolescence is a psychological stage of development where physical changes appear and face a variety of situations that are a source of problems and concerns. The aim of this work is to describe and compare the stress coping strategies that adolescents reveal to use when they are in trouble according to sex and age. A sample of 1228 dolescents pertaining to 7 schools of Montevideo with ages between 12 and 19 years was used and analyzed with a descriptive-comparative cross-sectional design. All the participants answered the Specific Form of the Adolescent Coping Scale (ACS). The results indicated significant differences in the variables sex and age.
