Abstract

Every undergraduate student in today's extremely competitive human race is having academic situations that consist of academic stress, apathy in attending class to comprehend subject matter, fear of falling behind with studies and course work, and face challenges to fulfil academic and grade standards. These situations are caused by today's extremely competitive human race. The academic stress of these college students act as a motivating factor when appropriate coping strategies are used to control academic stress. Every undergraduate should identify and acknowledge stress signals and consequently adopt associated coping techniques rather than trusting on ‘magical powers’ of time since delay, disregard and obstruction might aggravate stress among adolescents.

Key words: Stress; Academic Stress; adolescents; Coping strategies.
