Emotional Intelligence as a Moderator in Reducing Academic Stress Among School Students

Strategies To Overcome Academic Stress Among School Students

Academic stress is the common burden faced by all the students in their school life. Sarita (2015) states that academic stress among students can be elevated due to parents and other students’ intervention. In this context, academic stress is creating both personal and social relationship problems to the students. Nowadays, students use many techniques to cope up with stress, either in a positive or negative way. Some students alleviate their stress in a negative way by consuming alcohol, drug, refusal and behavioural changes (Sarita, 2015). On one hand researcher like Claeys-Jackson (2017) states that there are many techniques to manage stress, those are managing time, exercise, get some fresh air, stay positive, spend time with friends, free mind, and cognitive behavioural therapy.
