INTRODUCTION
Stress is defined as a feeling that people are experiencing when they are
overloaded and struggling to cope with demands. Legg (2017) stated that these
that poses a real or perceived challenge or threat to a person’s well-being can cause
stress. In addition, based on Cleveland Clinic, you can experience stress from your
environment, your body, and your thoughts. In line with it, Stoppler and Balentine
(2018), stated that stress becomes a problem when it affects the person's physical or
meanings for stress: the abstract psychological perception of pressure and the body's
response to stressors. When your body experiences stress, signals trigger the body's
automatic response system, the fight-or-flight response. This is the body's way of
preparing to meet a challenge head-on or to flee from it. The fight-or-flight response
floods your body with hormones that increase heart rate and the circulation of blood,
designed to allow the body to get a quick burst of energy, focus attention and more.

the Department of Health (United States), Parents and educators can take steps to
provide stability and support that help young people to feel better. Learning healthy
ways to cope and getting the right care and support can reduce stressful feelings and
symptoms. Stress is not classified as an illness but it can cause serious complication
if it isn't addressed.
Based on the study of Saqib & Rehman (2018) entitled, Impact of Stress on
Academic, stress is particularly hard on school students who are often living away
from home for the first time. Their study shows that teachers expect work to be
complete reading and writing tasks, to print out replicas of their work. This is the
common stressor to students; there are lots of things that are needed to be done, like
homework, test, activities, readings, and quizzes. It is stressful to do all this work,
balancing time to do it, and to find time for extra- curricular activities. “A lot of
factor that influence in their study like present pressure, teacher’s attitude towards
their study, home strictness, future and job tensions.” All of these are running on the
head of some students that sometimes these become one of the stressors. “Time

pressure limits the time available for the success of a particular task. This limitation,
however, often causes an emotional reaction, for example nervousness that has side
effects or indirect effects on success.” This also adds to the existing stress that they
are experiencing. Instead of the task itself, a student also thinks about the time
allotted for the completion of the task, this adds up to the stressors. According to
Kumar & Bhukar (2013), Professors strive to focus on the acquisition of knowledge
and often ignore students' emotions during the learning process. And this can be a
stressor, and may affect the learning and acknowledgement of lessons. Getting
criticism and negative comment coming from teachers may add up to the stress of the
students.
Saqib & Rehman (20018) stated that, acute stress is sometimes considered as
beneficial and can create motivation. Its study further provides an example where a
student is approaching a deadline, which is causing the student stress. This kind of
stress is good because it just temporary and can helps the students to focus and
complete the task before the given time. Most common application of this is during

Jain & Singhai (2018) found that the students' main source of stress is the
lack of proper support. There is a standard examination method that gives the
students no space for creativity and the limitations to be reached. The stress for

a lot of stress last 2018. Most of the threads or posts in social media are about the
struggles of most of teenagers now a day. Some of them want to end their lives
because of stress. This shows that stress has a negative impact among students' daily
lives. Stress is one of the common topics in such research conducted by people. The
reasons why researchers got interested in this topic: many people had experience it,
there is no age and profession when it is about stress and it happens because of
management and etc. The researchers chose this topic because the researchers wants
to know the factors that triggers stress, the symptoms, and how the teenagers

Recommendation
The result of the case study about academic related stress and coping
1. For the students, know your priorities you must have proper time management in
yourself after a long stressful school days to lessen the stressor you are experiencing
2. For the parents, do not pressure your children, instead help them to lessen the
stressors that they've experiencing. Parent’s expectations are one of the costs why
3. For the teachers, they can avoid giving a lot of task and projects at the same to
avoid time pressure for the students. Academic activities are one of the reasons why
4. For the school, college, and universities - they must have activities at least once a
year for the students to enjoy, or they can provide free time for the students aside
from their recess. Time to rest in order for them to feel relaxed and during the class
hours they have energy to participate actively and focus on the lessons.
5.) For the Future research should be conducted by utilizing bigger sample size from
other schools to approve these findings. They should also engage in other researches
