Academic Pressure: A Terrifying Monster Threatening Young People?
Academic pressure is an inevitable part of growing up. It’s the motivation for you to try harder and strive for better achievements. However, when it exceeds the limit, it becomes a terrifying monster, gnawing at your mind and eroding your health.
Signs of Academic Pressure
Do you often feel tired, bored, distracted, have trouble sleeping, get easily irritated, snack frequently, consume a lot of caffeine, or avoid your favorite activities? These could be warning signs that you are experiencing academic pressure.
Causes of Academic Pressure
Many factors can cause academic pressure, such as:
- Exam pressure: Worrying about exam results, fearing failure, and not meeting the expectations of family and teachers.
- Huge amount of knowledge: The curriculum is becoming heavier, requiring you to learn many subjects and a lot of knowledge, making you feel overwhelmed.
- Surrounding relationships: Pressure from friends, family, and teachers also affects your psychology.

Effective Ways to Relieve Study Stress
Don’t let academic pressure hold you back. Try applying these effective stress relief methods:
