Academic stress is nothing more than the stress produced by the academic environment. Therefore it is very common for stress to generate psychological disorders, such as depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Therefore, academic stress is the cause of all these mental problems, which, not, allow us the proper functioning of all our intellectual capacities, causing a serious academic problem, which many students live throughout their university life, known as the low academic performance.

Now academic stress is associated with anxiety, because when a person does not feel prepared to face something, falls into fear and nerves, characteristics of anxiety, it is at that moment, that stress causes a mental block, For example, when a person is in a situation where they have to explain something or teach something, they may not feel prepared to express themselves before an audience, they may start to feel afraid that their ideas will not be accepted, and therefore they will be rejected and mocked, being an inability to speak and think, similarly the nervousness manifests, when people imagine such a situation.

Teens today are fighting a losing battle against stress. Schools pressure teens into competing in tests and even when applying to colleges. According to Noelle Leonard, PhD, a senior research scientist at the New York University college of Nursing "School, homework, extracurricular activities, sleep, repeat—that's what it can be for some of these students." Pressure from parents who expect too much, struggling with school work, applying to colleges, and participating in extracurricular activities all contribute to a teenager’s stress level. More than 27% of teens during the school year claim that they deal with “extreme stress” (Jayson Sharon, USA Today) that can affect everyday living for them, along with a majority of other stressors.

Students at 2 year and 4 year college were asked how frequently they felt “overwhelmed by all I had to do” during the past year. It was observed that during the last 10 years, the percentage of students feeling overwhelmed has increased from 16.0% in 1985 to 25.3% in 1995. Since the lens of my research study will be focusing on how college students deal with stress and how effective their coping methods are, this study is a good starting point for the 2nd half of my paper because it helps the audience understand why I am focusing on college student population. This article clearly highlight that stress levels amongst college students have been increasing throughout the years.
Research has shown that high levels of stress and anxiety can interfere with academic performance, reduce motivation, and even lead to mental health problems such as depression.

Instrument: The Student-Life Stress Inventory (SSI), (Gadzella, 1991) was the instrument used to assess its nine categories. The SSI is a 51-item paper and pencil questionnaire, consisting of nine categories (five stressors and four reactions to stressors). The five stressors are: frustrations, conflicts, pressures, changes, and self-imposed. Frustrations (seven items), assesses experiences dealing with delays in reaching goals, daily hassles, lack of sources, failure to reach set goals, socially being unacceptable, dating disappointments, and denials in opportunities.

The problem students face with grade inflation is the lack of preparedness for college. This in turn leads to stress and poor mental health in students. Academic stress had been directly linked to poor mental health for those in college and high school alike. In the article, “Grades Are at the Center of the Student Mental Health Crisis”, the author says, “The statistics on depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation rates among college students tell a very similar story. Academic stress is directly linked to these health crises, and grades are a major source of this kind of stress.”
In college, students experience a great deal of stress for the first time in their lives. In the past, they experienced little stresses that came with growing up, but now they experience stress from the real world and it can be overwhelming. The stress in college is more serious than any they had experienced prior because it is a time that will define the rest of their lives. For many, this is the first time getting a loan, the first time having to care for themselves, the first time studying for massive exams, and the first time that their decisions will affect the rest of their lives. The main types of stress college students experience are financial stress, parental stress, class stress, social stress, and self-invoked stress.

Academic Stress: Academic stress among students have long been researched on, and researchers have identified stressors as too many assignments, competitions with other students, failures and poor relationships with other students or lecturers (Fairbrother & Warn, 2003). Academic stressors include the student 's perception of the extensive knowledge base required and the perception of an inadequate time to develop it (Carveth et al, 1996). Students report experiencing academic stress at predictable times each semester with the greatest sources of academic stress resulting from taking and studying for exams, grade competition, and the large amount of content to master in a small amount of time (Abouserie, 1994).
