BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Academic pressure is not strange to many, specifically on students with rising
numbers on mental health issue aiming student. Nowadays, it gained a significant
amount of attention as a research subject as still 45% of students in high school

According to Pacific Teen Treatment, academic pressure is defined as "an experience
in which a student is burdened by the demands of time and energy to achieve

affect on students' emotional and academic performance. For that, it has a handful
effects to students who experience such pressure such as stimulant abuse (e.g.
caffeine, medications, etc.), sleep difficulties, anxiety, etc. In addition, academic
pressure does not always result to a better grades, nor an increase/improvement to
test scores. Recent research has found out that excessive levels of academic stress
can result to an "increased prevalence of psychological and physical problems like
depression, anxiety, nervousness, and stress-related disorders," which in turn can
adversely affect academic results (Alsulami, et. Al.2018). Another study had shown
that teachers and parents have more expectations to students who achieve with such

succeed to said expectation, it can cause negative effects that can cause unwanted
behavior of students (Ma et al., 2018; Çelik, 2019).

HYPOTHESIS
Hypothesis 1: When students feel a lot of pressure, they get more stressed and
anxious, which makes it harder for them to do well in school.

like procrastinating or trying to be perfect, which can make them even more stressed
and make it harder to do well in school.

stress can help students handle the pressure better, so they feel less stressed and
do better in school.
