Academic Stress Among Students

People of all ages are affected by stress and anxiety. High school students seem especially vulnerable to this reality. Stress and anxiety levels affect the students academically and change the way the person thinks and acts during school or time spent in studying. Stress exists from the change in an individual's thinking and their lifestyle nowadays. Students in their teens are the ones who are going through the transitional phase, which is an intermediate of childhood and adulthood. Stress is believed to be caused by the various problems that exist such as problems at school, financial problems, family problems and problems in their surroundings. Adolescents also experience stress because they are sometimes trapped between making decisions which is to follow rules and orders or to be free and discover the world like they should. Adolescents in the previous days were trained for things that were suitable with their age so that they can use it to manage their lives. The main focus of this study is to find out the academic stress among IX and X class students and identify variables causing stress.
