Introduction

Academic stress is a mental distress with respect to some anticipated frustration

associated with academic failure or even awareness of the possibility of such failure “Academic

stress pervades the life of students, and tends to impact adversely their mental and physical

health and their ability to perform schoolwork effectively” Stress has been seen tightening its

grip on the students, as they have to compete at every step of their academic career in this fast

moving world. This shadow of academic stress all the more darkens for the students of high and

intermediated schools as they have to enter into the world of competition for choosing their

respective careers. Academic stress does not necessarily begin in college. The nervous

breakdowns, panic attacks, burnouts and depressions are also common among many young

students. The situation does not remain the same for everybody, and everyone do not experience

the same feelings or gloomy thoughts when they are under stress. At this point of time, a part

from dealing with the physical and socio-emotional changes, the adolescents have to fulfill the

expectation of their parents, build their career and complete school, in which they might fail

and thereby have a negative impact on himself. Family is considered to be the first school for the

child and is a source of expectations whereby the parents play a vital role in their children’s

academic achievement.
