KEEPING PUPILS FROM STRESS: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

Student stress has become a prevalent issue in educational environments, significantly affecting students' mental health, academic performance, and overall well-being. The primary causes of stress include academic pressure, heavy workloads, time management struggles, social expectations, fear of failure, and family pressures. This stress is further exacerbated by uncertainty about the future and, in some cases, pre-existing mental health conditions. Addressing student stress requires a multifaceted approach, including promoting a balanced lifestyle, improving time management skills, fostering open communication, reducing academic pressure, and providing access to mental health resources. By creating a supportive environment and encouraging healthier coping mechanisms, educational institutions can help mitigate the impact of stress on students.
