Overcoming Academic Stress

Being a top student is often highly significant in all Asian homes. It is common knowledge that
Asian parents place a high priority on their children's education. This is demonstrated by the fact that
many Asians are successful, just like in China, which is renowned for supporting prosperous
enterprises and is one of the richest nations in the world that excels in industrialization. As a result,
bullies often target and even exclude children who struggle in school from their own families. Most

students deal with academic stress daily, leading many to believe it is not a severe issue. Yet,
academic stress could be one of the most severe concerns the globe may need to consider fixing due
to the wide-ranging consequences it has on students' lives.

This circumstance may not appear to be new in the Philippines because parents of most
Filipino students frequently put pressure on their academic achievement and are not content with
merely passing marks. It is well known that the Filipino educational system has proven to be
challenging and tough to deal with, as evidenced by the experiences of exchange international
students in the Philippines that are posted on various social media platforms. This pressure may be
one of the struggles that Filipino students face, especially those who attend private schools where
strong academic performance is anticipated because that is where the children of elites and wealthy
families go to school. As a result of the pressure exerted by parents and the volume of schoolwork
completed by these students, the term academic stress is introduced, which is defined by
professionals as the psychological condition of a student as a result of ongoing social pressure and
self-imposed strain in a school setting that exhausts the children's psychological reserves. This an
issue that students tend to overlook all the time, which should not be the case because it endangers
their academic performance and daily lives. According to specialists, its repercussions include poor
academic performance, bad health, anxiety, and depression, all of which can lead to suicidal behavior
and an act of suicide. As a result, students must understand how to deal with academic stress.

The ways that could help students overcome academic stress are to get enough sleep as a
good night's sleep is essential for both mental and physical healing because when tired, it will be
harder for them to focus on schoolwork and make themselves a schedule for their studying or reading
to stay organized and for time to be used wisely. Furthermore, forgive themselves when they make
mistakes, such as submitting school requirements late, and stop straining themselves to do things
that are beyond their capabilities just to please and gain the approval of others, which endangers their
mental health, and instead do things that bring them happiness and self-fulfillment. Furthermore, it is
for them to take a vacation or have some time where they simply focus on themselves, away from
academics and demanding parents, for them to breathe and relax in preparation for their next
academic battle.

Life can be brutal at times. To be at the absolute top of the pyramid, many people will go to
great lengths. But, to attain greatness, people, particularly students, must remember to take care of
themselves, as their health will be one of their investments to achieve greatness and wealth..
