Academic Pressure

What is Academic Pressure?

It’s like a pressure cooker in here! No doubt, school is tough. For some, it’s the worry of being able to get enough credits to graduate high school, while for others it’s being able to get a 4.0 GPA and get into Stanford. No matter what our goals are, we all struggle with a tremendous amount of stress and pressure.

At school there is a range of academic pressure we feel, derived from a need for perfection, worry over grades, parental pressure, competition, sports, or a tough class load.

Academic pressure does not begin in college. The nervous breakdowns, panic attacks, burnouts, and depression are also apparent in many younger students. The same situation is not always stressful for all people, and all people do not undergo the same feelings or off-putting thoughts when stressed.


Main point!

  • Academic stress is the anxiety and stress that comes from schooling and education. 
  • Main sources of stress faced by young people.
  • Derived from a need for perfection, worry over grades, parental pressure, competition, sports, or a tough class load.
