Americas teenager is at school for roughly 8 hours, and then they go home and do 6+ hours of homework, and they need at least 9 hours of sleep for their developing brains, then they could have 0-1 hours for other activities like eating, bathing, exercise, socializing (which is actually incredibly important for emotional, mental, and physical health, as well as the development of skills vital to their future careers and relationships), religious activities, hobbies, extracurriculars, medical care of any kind, chores (also a development of household skills), relaxation, and family time? Not to mention parents may or may not pressure teenagers into getting a job, or some must have one to help pay for the families bills. "...But teenagers have no reason to be stressed."
