Stress among Youth

The students pursuing higher education are under stress due to various factors, like academic stress, language barriers, work pressure. This article has two primary aims. Firstly, it provides an in depth review of previous studies into student stress and identifies several important issues that, as yet, have not been explored. There has been no consideration of the effect of students maturing during their studies on the stress that they experience and how they cope with that stress. Secondly, the article highlights limitations in the past and present literature base, where there has been a concentration on a quantitative approach, and focus on a narrow range of subject groups. There is also a need to undertake horizontal research to investigate individuals’ stress experiences during the period they study at university. Overall the key assertion here is that thus far research into student stress has not offered a complete account and explanation of students’ stress experiences.

This study will be done with special reference to the students studying in Faculty of Science and Humanities, SRM University. The outcome of the study will provide the solution of stress management to those students who are under stress.
