Mister MicawberStress (v) SPOKEN to be worried or nervousstress about: Even though we have no money I’m not stressing about it.Thanks a lot, teacher.
So it is always 'about'. Even when saying "don't stress about it". Right?
I heard people use 'on' in this case. Is it wrong'

"Don't stress on this" is not proper English.
Go with "stress about" as per MM's instructions or "stress over" (as in: "Don't get stressed over this too much").

Don't stress about something. I'd call this less than standard English.
If I wanted to speak more carefully, I'd say Don't stress yourself about something.
'Stress' is a transitive verb, meaning basically 'give stress', so standard English is
