I think both because kids want to be adults and wanna do what they want.They think that their problems are biggest in this world.And after they become an adults they wanna be kids and have problems what they had before because now they start live their real life and having real problem.So I think it is the same but of course adults have bigger problems then kids but kids think it is not like that.but all kid will grow up and say the same.

I think it truly depends upon their circumstances. Children can pick up and generally do pick up on the stress of the parents and become stressed themselves. It's one reason why experts recommend you keep parental matters quiet around children.
When we look at stress though we must consider good and bad stress. Getting a the lead role in the school play is stressful, but it's a good stress. Having two parents who suddenly divorce is a bad stress. The same is true in adults. Getting that great job is stressful just as breaking one's leg is stressful.
Stress does have the same effects though. The following are some good articles on stress as it relates to adults and children.

Both have stresses but different types. It is most important to think of how they handle them instead of if they have them.
It's stressful for a child to have to pick which outfit to wear. They need to know how to make choices. When they pick out what's right then they need to know that the stress was worth it. So a parent tells them.. good job!
A teen has stresses with school and friends and family. They need to learn to balance it all and know it's worth it.
Adults have money, family, and their own dreams causing them stress. It's a life long condition.

Stressors of the kids are usually fleeting pertaining mostly to peer rivalry, exams, exam, etc, but adult stressors are longer-lasting mostly related to family matters, welfare of the children, concern about the grandkids, etc. As we grow in age, our attitudes and values too undergo changes,which may not not be accepted by the younger generation. Hence adult stress is more or less permanent and it increases as we become older and older.

Kids only have few problems. Just simple problems unlike the adults. Usually kids do have problems on what kind of food to eat, what clothes to wear, being quarreled by playmates, don't have new toys,or being forced to study. Unlike the adults, there are many things to consider. There are needs to be supplied. Adults concern each family member's needs. An adult needs job to support the financial needs like food, shelter, clothing, education, transportation, communication and some others. An adult one starts to be involved in so called relationships which may bring stress. An adult one may have several problems concerning about beauty, ambition, fame, dignity, recreation, and other emotional, social, and spiritual means.

While kids mostly dont take things serious and feel responsible at their ages, so stress on them is less, whereas adults have lot to worry and be seriously responisble, so stress is more on them

These days kids are under a lot more stress at school because of teachers pushing them harder, giving them more homework, childhood bullying has turned to school shootings... the world in general is turning into a more stressful place, and people are becoming stressed at younger and younger ages.
