Background of the study
Academic stress can have a significant impact on a student's mental and physical
health. The constant pressure to succeed academically can lead to anxiety, depression,
and other mental health disorders. Students may experience frequent headaches, sleep
disturbances, and decreased appetite due to stress. Academic stress can also
negatively impact a student's academic performance. The fear of failure and the
pressure to perform can result in poor grades, reduced motivation, and decreased
engagement in the learning process. This may lead to a vicious cycle, where poor
performance leads to more stress, leading to more poor performance. Moreover,
academic stress can negatively affect a student's social life. Students may isolate
themselves from social situations due to the stress of academic pressure, leading to
loneliness and feelings of social isolation. Overall, academic stress can have far-
reaching consequences for a student's mental and physical well-being, academic
performance, and social life. It is important for students to find ways to manage their
stress, such as through exercise, mindfulness techniques, seeking support from friends
and family, or professional counseling. Academic pressure, the pressure to succeed
academically and excel in exams is one of the primary causes of stress among
students. From grade school to college, students feel an enormous amount of pressure
to perform well academically. Competition, the competitive environment among
students, especially in high schools and universities, can be a significant source of
stress. Students are often competing against one another for grades, scholarships, and
other academic achievements. Social and relationship issues, social pressures, like
fitting in with peers, and relationship issues such as breakups or conflicts with friends
and family members can cause stress among students. Time management, many
students juggle multiple responsibilities such as school, work, and extra-curricular
activities. Feeling overwhelmed by the number of tasks to accomplish, deadlines, and
managing time can be a significant source of stress. Financial stress, the high cost of
education and associated expenses like fees, books, and housing can lead to financial
stress among students, especially those from lower-income families. Excessive stress
and pressure can take away the joy of learning and make education feel like a burden.
Students may lose their intrinsic motivation, creativity, and curiosity, which are
essential elements of a holistic educational experience. Career uncertainty, the
uncertainty of future career prospects and job opportunities can cause stress among
students, particularly to those who are graduating college or in their final years of
high school. Health issues, Including physical ailments, mental health academic stress

source of stress among students.
