This feelings chart for teens is a clear and visual emotional wellbeing resource designed to help teenagers recognise, name and understand their emotions. It supports emotional literacy, mental health and emotional regulation by presenting a wide range of feeling words in clear categories, including happy and positive, sad and low, angry and frustrated, anxious and worried, confused and unsure, and tired and shut down.
The chart includes emotions such as calm, confident, motivated and grateful, alongside difficult feelings like overwhelmed, pressured, rejected, numb, burnt out and disconnected. This helps teens build a broader emotional vocabulary and express how they feel when emotions are intense, confusing or hard to explain. It is particularly useful for older children experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional overload, low mood or behaviour challenges.
This free printable PDF can be used at home, in schools, counselling settings, therapy sessions or youth work. It supports emotional check-ins, wellbeing conversations and mental health discussions in a simple, non-judgemental way. It can help kids identify their feelings, understand emotional patterns and begin conversations about support and coping.
The resource is suitable for parents, carers, teachers, school staff, social workers, therapists, counsellors and professionals working with teenagers and young people. It is especially helpful for neurodivergent teens, including those with ADHD or autism, and for teens who find talking about feelings difficult.
This is a free downloadable feelings chart for teens that supports emotional awareness, wellbeing, behaviour understanding and healthy emotional development.
