ABSTRACT
According to the International Journal of Adolescence and Youth, Students in secondary
and tertiary education settings face a wide range of ongoing stressors related to
academic demands. The researchers aim to determine the Effects of Stress on the
Academic Behavior of Senior High School Students in STI College Novaliches A.Y.
2020 – 2021 specifically the possible factors that cause stress, the effects on the
respondents' behavior, and the techniques the students' use to cope up with stress. The
researchers made use of qualitative research. The respondents were composed of
students at STI College of Novaliches, both male and female as they are qualified for
the standardized questionnaire that will be used by the researchers.
The respondents' responses towards the causes of stress are primarily on the academic
aspects. With regards to the effects of stress, the respondents' response is it affects
their decision-making abilities and it is harmed as a result of their stress, and they are
unable to think clearly and due to this it affects their academics and some respondents
experience difficulty with their sleeping patterns. For the coping mechanisms used by
the respondents to cope up with stress, they learned that time management is the
solution. In addition, respondents said that entertaining themselves in a way such as
watching movies. While others stated that exercising, performing religious acts, and
eating were examples of coping mechanisms of senior high school students

Chapter One
The Problem and Its Background
Introduction:
Stress is a normal human reaction that always happens to everyone. It can also
help your body to adjust to several situations. It can be positive or negative, depends on
the situation that we’re in. Stress becomes a problem when stressors continuously
experience without proper relief or periods of relaxation. The stressors can be parents,
teachers, or students. But most of the stressors are students, for the reason of the
carried burden from their family responsibility including academics that cause stress
when it becomes overload.
According to International Journal of Adolescence and Youth, Students in
secondary and tertiary education settings face a wide range of ongoing stressors
related to academic demands. Previous research indicates that academic-related stress
can reduce academic achievement, decrease motivation and increase the risk of school
dropout. The longer-term impacts, which include reduced likelihood of sustainable
employment, cost Government’s billions of dollars each year. This narrative review
presents the most recent research concerning the impact of academic-related stress,
including discussion of the impact on students’ learning capacity and academic
performance, mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, sleep
disturbances and substance use.
These enunciates that there would always be countless of reason regarding sort
of people who experience stress while students are classified to be one of the pinnacles
6
of it. We aim to acknowledge senior high school students’ stability of mentality in
regards of stress. The determination of our researchers to examine this field may
cultivate and enlighten more people about how stress affects the life solidity of senior
high school students. This serves as evaluation with transparency and consideration to
those will be involved in order to spread awareness of behavioral issues brought by
stress. Furthermore, we expect that this study would be beneficent to educate more
students in controlling and handling the pressure and tension that they have been
grasping since this topic is a contagious problem – broadly felt especially that we are
amidst pandemic.
Everyone is exposed to stress at some point in their lives that makes
uncomfortable situations that are credible on affecting our sense of well-being and
quality of life. According to the cognitive-transactional model of stress, stress is the
dynamic relationship between an individual and the environment in which a stimulus
(whatever it is) disturbs an individual’s homeostasis, causing him/her to respond to the
situation with all available resources. When this occurs, we evaluate the demand
relative to our available resources, and the amount of stress we experience is governed
by the following rule: “the more resources we have, the less stress we will experience”.
Many criteria are used to categorize stress, and this leads to many terms for
different types of stress. One of these criteria focuses on the causes of stress, and it
generates such terms as marital stress, familial stress, work-related stress and
academic stress.
This study is to give the researchers a brief summary and possible result of the
study to be conducted. It is beneficial to identify the underlying possible process-
7
outcome to conduct the research regarding the academic stressors and their effects on
the students of STI College Novaliches. This research is also a considerable basis for
the results of the study. Whereas, similar results depending on the factors can be found
in the research.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
Generally, this study aims to determine the Effects of Stress to the Academic
Behavior of Senior High School Students in STI College Novaliches A.Y. 2020 – 2021
Specifically, it aims to answer the following questions:
1. What are the possible factors of stress to the Senior High School student of STI
College of Novaliches?
2. What are the effects of stress with the Senior High School student's behavior?
3. How do students of STI Novaliches cope up with stress?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study entitled “The Effects of Stress to the Academic Behavior of Senior
High School Students in STI College Novaliches A.Y. 2020 – 2021” will provide a
reference for the future researches and serves as guide to various beneficiaries.
This study will benefit the following:
For the STUDENTS, this study can be a supportive medium for them to express
their emotion and feelings as well as a guide on opening up the dilemma that they are
facing. This may also act as good sustenance for them to polish up their confidence and
make way to avoid or prevent stress. This study will counsel and encourage great
solicitude to ameliorate their feelings better. This study will give them guidance in
progressing a “stay positive” perception in order to overlook their problems into
perceiving that it has a solution.
As for the Teachers, this study may serve as a paradigm for influencing and
motivating their students by compelling them in regards of this study on how to handle
the stress that they are experiencing
As for the Parents, this may serve as an awareness and give them an
information that their children feel and experience stress that should be supported and
motivated by them.
For the FUTURE RESEARCHERS, this may serve as a reference material for
those who would like to conduct further study on similar topics. This research will assist
and accommodate them in making the most of their newfound knowledge.

Overall, this research study will support both students, teachers, parents and
future researchers by allowing them to determine and assimilate the impacts of stress
on senior high school students' academic behavior. This will also allow them to have
better comprehensiveness of what they can do to alleviate the stress that the student is
tolerating. Furthermore, this research will provide a new path for future research on this
subject.
ASSUMPTION OF THE STUDY
The research is conducted to know the potential effects of stress to students
specifically students of STI. Stress is your body’s reaction to a test or interest. In short
impacts, stress can be positive, for instance, when it causes you evade hazard or follow
a deadline. In this study, professor would have the idea on what could possibly be the
effect and the reason behind stress. Researchers assume that the student’s usual
provenience of stress are having ton of school activities and errands that are required to
be passed on a short period of time. There are also various factors regarding these
such as the difficulty to handle a family problem, while other cases are caused by the
pressure of society’s standards – who avoids maverick and at times the pressure on
how to cope up with the situations that they are into.
Stress could possibly have numerous effects towards student’s academic
behavior. The possible outcome are as follows: could degrade their energy making
them participate less in class, making them hesitant about their own ideas or lowers
self-esteem, having difficulty to handle problems, decrease attention span and sleep
disorders. Stress affects students diversely that they might react and cope with it in
10
various ways. Some may work but to others it won’t. The initial reaction of people
dealing with stress has to talk with peers and enjoy life, there are also different coping
mechanisms such as abnormal eating habit, too much sleeping as a way of escape to
the real world, doing yoga or exercise and listening to music.
Being stressed has impacts on student’s academic behavior like depression and
anxiety. These emotional issues are just some of the impacts of stress to academic
behaviour of students. Having mental breakdown is also a troubling predicament
because mostly, students can no longer handle the compulsion that they are feeling,
getting irritable, and not having enough of sleep just to finish their works. Students have
different ways on how they are going to manage with academic stress. Some are talking
with their friends, listening to music while answering their activities while some are
exercising.
Stress is a state of mental tension and worry caused by problems in our life, work,
and such. We have various ways on how to cope up with stress. When a person is
stressed, notice that the first thing that they are doing is to talk with their friends. Talking
with their closest friends is a way for them to cope up with stress because they tend to
vent out to them and soon enough, they forget about their problems for a moment while
at the same time friends can lighten up their mood especially when they're tired. They
also motivate us and sometimes, even when we are not asking for it, they are helping
us in our problems that I think can help us reduce the stress that we are feeling. Another
one is practicing positive self-talk and getting enough sleep. There are also other
students that manage to cope their stressors by doing things that they enjoy such as
playing with their pets, playing sports, and abnormal eating habit. Also, there are some
11
other students that have certain stress relievers that help them release their stresses,
for example playing mobile games, doing their hobbies, watching funny videos, playing
instruments while there are some other stress reliefs that all students can do such as
getting enough sleep.
Another possible way on how senior high school students in STI can cope up with
their stressors are the following: some of them meditate, doing exercises, talk to their
friends, doing yoga, listening to music, and bonding with their family. Stress has many
effects on the students to their academic behaviour and there are many possibilities that
the students have responses similar into our assumptions such as low energy that can
possibly affect their lack of enthusiasm in their studying and lack of sleep because of
the deadline that they are chasing.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
The main focus of this study is to determine the effect of the stress to the
academic behaviour of the senior high school student and how will they cope up with it.
The respondents were composed of students at STI College of Novaliches, both male
and female as they are qualified for the standardize questionnaire that will be used by
the researchers. This study does not cover problems that are not associated with stress.
This study is limited to senior high school students only.

Review of Related Literature
2.1 Introduction
Stress is an unavoidable part of existence. It can be triggered by any situation or
thinking that causes you to feel upset, angry, or anxious. A low level of stress can be
beneficial. It has the potential to inspire you and assist you in being more efficient. It
allows people to share their strengths and energy while still pursuing happiness. We
feel stress for different reasons. One of these is Academic Stress. This type of stress is
related to the academic’s performance of a student. There are causes and effects on
why are students are being stressed on academics. Procrastination is one. Most
students procrastinate because they think that they can do the task in a short period of
14
time before the deadline. Academic stress could also be a problem with a certain
subject that a student is having difficulty with.

• Level of stress and anxiety and sources of stress among secondary school
students
According to the findings, secondary school students have a medium level of
stress, with academic, intra-personal, and environmental stressors being major
sources of stress. There was a major gender gap in the degree of stress and some
causes of stress among secondary school students. It was suggested that high school
counseling and counselling units recognize students who are stressed and offer
appropriate support and management strategies.
• The impact of stress on students in secondary school and higher education
Students in secondary and tertiary education face a variety of ongoing stressors
associated with academic demands. Earlier studies have shown that academic-related
stress can decrease academic performance, lower motivation, and raise the risk of
dropping out of school. Long-term consequences, such as a lower probability of long-
term jobs, cost governments billions of dollars per year. This correlational study
discusses the most recent studies on the effects of academic-related stress, including
an overview of the impact on students' academic abilities and educational attainment,
mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, sleep disruptions, and drug use.

• Stress Levels Among the Senior High School Students in Practical Research 2
Anxiety and depression are caused by stress, which can occur at school,
church, or even at home. It is the body's and mind's responses to something that
tends to cause a shift in the balance. Although senior high school students may
endure common stressors in secondary school, perceptions of what constitutes
academic stressors may deviate.
• Sources of Academic Stress among Higher Secondary School Students
According to the findings, secondary school students have a medium level of
stress, with academic, intra-personal, and environmental stressors being major sources
of stress. There was a major gender gap in the degree of stress and some causes of
stress among secondary school students. It was suggested that high school counseling
and counselling units recognize students who are stressed and offer appropriate
support and management strategies.
• Academic Stress among Higher Secondary School Students: A Review
Basically, destabilized family relationships, peer pressure, malfunction to cope with
studies, substance abuse, and other triggers all contribute to adolescent stress. The
engagement of adolescents in acquiring immediate satisfaction of needs has
culminated in a great deal of stress in them and their relationships with parents and
society. Students from family units have marginally greater measured academic
anxiety compared with students from nuclear families, but this contrast is not positively
accurate. Academic stress among high school students is not dictated by IQ or
demographic factors. In order to overcome aberrant behavior, parents play a
16
constructive role in diverting adolescents' energies. Proper care should be taken in
order to assist them in making smart decisions that may affect their performance.

• Stress Coping Mechanism and Its Impact to their age among Senior High School
students at Parañaque National High School-Baclaran
Students who are adapting to a new living environment, new peers, academic
pressure, and sexual concerns experience stress. Being in the high level of education
can also put financial stress on the students and their families. These situations can
leave them with nervousness, worries, and multiple other symptoms of stress
performance or reduce the student to ineffectiveness (Blona, 2005)
There are many healthy ways to succeed and cope with stress, but they all need
change. You can either change the condition or change your response. The use of
technology, talking or praying to God, open up to their closest friends, crying, watching
movies and listening to music were the common stress coping mechanisms. When
deciding which decision to pick, it is helpful to consider of the four A’s: avoid, alter,
adapt, or accept. Since everyone has unique reaction to stress, there is no “one size fits
all” solution to handling it. No single technique works for everyone or in every situation,
so try different processes and approaches. Focus on the things that makes you feel
calm and were you can feel that you can control yourself (Duque, 2007).

• Perceived stress and academic performance of senior high school students in
western, Ghana
In psychology, stress is the demand made on an organism to adapt, to cope, or to
adjust (Rathus 2000, pg 565). Some stress is healthful and necessary to keep us alert
and occupied. Stress researcher Hans Selye (1980) referred to such healthful stress as
eustress, whereas stress that leads to negative consequences is known as distress. But
intense or prolonged stress can overtax our capacity to adjust, dampen our moods,
impair our ability to experience pleasure, and harm the body (Repetti, 1993). Stress can
also be defined as an unpleasant state of emotional and physiological arousal that
people experience in situations that they perceive as dangerous or threatening to their
well-being. Academic stress is the product of a combination of academic related
demands that exceed the adaptive resources available to an individual
Restless nights and short-tempered feeling were the common effects of stress.
There was a difference on the causes and effects of stress between the male and
female respondents. There are some mentioned common effects of stress, and these
are insomnia, headaches, backaches, constipation, diarrhea, high blood pressure, heart
disease, depression and alcohol intake.
• Academic Stress, Academic Motivation, and Its Relationship on the Academic
Performance of the Senior High School Students
Another study by (Bello, Gumarao, 2016) aimed to determine the students' stress
level and coping mechanisms and their relationship to academic performance. The
results of the study showed that there is no significant relationship between stress and
18
academic performance. However, there is a significant negative relationship between
avoidant coping strategies and ac academic performance. The more avoidant coping
strategy is used, the lower the academic performance of the respondents. A study was
also conducted in Lübeck, Germany, by (al., 2017). It stated that stress and low
academic performance could become part of a vicious circle. Thus, the study was
conducted to understand and examine the relationship between stress and performance
during medical education.
It appears that the cause of stress among teens and adolescent’s rests primarily on
family dynamics, peer pressure, inability to cope with studies, drug abuse and lack of
competence. Demographic factors such as age, race, income, educational attainment
and IQ of the student does not play a role in the cause of stress among teens.
2.4 Conclusion
A study shows that the bigger the family, the higher the tendency of anxiety and
stress among adolescents although this study is not conclusive. However, their need to
instantly fulfill their needs contributes a lot to triggering stress and creating tension in
their relationship with their families and friends. Parents needs to play a major role in
coping with adolescent stress. Their support and understanding will help their children
especially in making decisions for their future. They should be able to decide on their
own, based on their interests and skills and not what is expected on them.

Chapter Three
Research Methodology
This chapter will discuss the research method used, population frame and
sampling scheme, description of respondents, instruments used, and procedure in
gathering data that will be used for accurate data analysis and interpretation.
3.2 Research Design
The research defined in this study based on the qualitative research method. The
study will examine the relationship between variables, especially the effects of stress to
the academic behavior of the senior high school students. Participants will be selected
from Senior High School Students of STI College Novaliches A.Y 2020-2021. The
Descriptive Research method is used in gathering the needed information for this study.
This method enables the researchers to interpret the theoretical framework of the
findings and hypothesis development for the further studies. Specifically, the
researchers utilized a survey questionnaire and interview type of descriptive research
method which enables the researchers to gather information from the respondents.
3.2.1 Qualitative Research
According to (Myers, 2020), qualitative research methods was developed in social
sciences to enable the study of researchers about social and cultural phenomena.
Action research, case study research and ethnography are commonly example of
qualitative methods. In qualitative data sources includes the observation and participant
observation, interviews, questionnaires, documents, texts, and the impression of
20
researchers including the reactions while (Kaplan, Maxwell, 1994) said that the
motivation on doing a qualitative research, as opposed to the quantitative research is
come from the observation that, if there one thing to distinguishes the human from the
natural world, this is our probability to talk.
This qualitative research was design to help researchers to understand people, social
and culture context within where they live. Argue that the goal to understand the
phenomenon of the point of view of the participants and its particular social and
institutional context is largely lost when textual data are qualified. There’s one study
called “triangulation” that most of the researchers do either quantitative or qualitative
research which suggested to combine one or more research method.
3.3 Subject of the study
In this experimental study, 12 students of ABM-201 from STI Novaliches are
selected to participate in answering a questionnaire as part of a survey about stress-
related academical behavior. We did these questionnaires to the students in grade 12,
because we wanted to know their conditions when it comes to academic problems, how
they survived those days because what more did, they go through and know than the
grade11 students, they also adopted the stress of what they did and now that the
pandemic is even more difficult and that's why researchers want to know their point of
view including their experiences.
21
3.3.1 Population Sample
In this study, the quota sampling is used. The researchers choose quota sampling
because it allows the researchers to collect a sample a from subgroup. That is why we
divided the senior high school students depending on their gender. The target
population is made up of senior high school students from STI College Novaliches A.Y
2020-2021. The sample is consisting of 12 selected students, 6 boys and 6 girls they
will answer the interview questions provided by the researchers in order to gather the
information needed for the study.
3.4 Research Instrument
Research instrument are tool used to collect/gather, measure, and analyze data
related to the research topic to obtain the study’s objectives. According to (Edekin,
2012), Research instrument have constructed tools that help in the collection of data for
research.
3.4.1 Informed consent
According to the (Oxford, unknown), one of the founding principles of research
ethics is informed consent. It aims is for human participants to voluntarily join and take
part of a research after obtaining full details about what it entails for them to participate
and giving their consent before doing so. The participant must recognize the study for
them to understand what the research is and why they are consenting to.
The researcher used this informed consent from the specific respondents as a
contract that allowed them to obtain information that connected to their research topic.
22
This consent can serve as well as a proof that the respondents know why the
researchers want to interview them and what would be the purpose of this interviewing.
The respondents have a freedom to choose if they want to participate or not.
3.4.2 Recording Interview
According (allen, 2017), Social scientist usually used interviewing to collect data
when it comes from the communication field. During or after of an interview,
interviewers used recording system or by means of taking written notes; These
interviews often transcribed verbatim in preparation for study analysis.
Since face-to-face interview cannot conduct these days. Researcher used
recording interview to get the detailed information from the respondents. The researcher
used this tool to capture and record the whole interview and also keep the interview and
interviewer uninterrupted.
3.4.3 Survey Questionnaires
According to (Hellevik, 2019), the most widely used data collection method in
social sciences is survey questionnaires. This may be conducted either face-to-face or
over the phone, while interviewer asks the question and record the responses, the
respondent read the questions and provide an answer for themselves on a
questionnaire that will sent by post or via the internet.
The researchers used survey questionnaires to ask question that they wanted to
know. Those survey questionnaires that provide by the researchers were all open-
ended questions that tackles about respondent’s lived experience.
23
3.4.4 Social Media Messaging Platform
According to (global, unknown), communicating, sharing knowledge and ideas,
create and exchange information within a virtual called social media messaging. This
can be done from twitter, facebook, Pinterest and different social media platforms.
The researcher used Social Media Messaging Platforms as an alternate way to
gather information from those respondents that are far from them. The researchers
used Messenger and MS teams to gather information in the way of interviewing.
3.5 Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers will ask permission from the subject teacher to allow them to
conduct an interview among the ABM senior high school students in STI College of
Novaliches. Upon approval, the researchers will set an interview schedule with the
respondents.
The respondents will be instructed to answer with all honesty and with their
capabilities to the questions given. They will be also given enough time to answer each
question. The researcher will also repeat twice the questions if necessary.

Presentation, Analysis, and Interpretation of Data
This chapter includes the presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data that
we have been gathered from the questionnaires distributed to the respondents. This
chapter will also contain the presentation of data in narrative. Qualitative research that
uses interview questions to gather information and data from different participants from
Grade 11 – ABM101, ABM102 and Grade 12 – ABM201 SHS students in STI College
Novaliches.

ma-manage 'yung oras ko tapos minsan sobrang na la-late na ako kumain. Minsan
nakakalimutan ko so minsan pumapayat ako kapag stress pero ayon. Emotionally din,
na ti-trigger 'yung utak ko tapos minsan naiiyak ako sa sobrang stress, kapag hindi ko
na alam anong uunahin ko
Question no. 8: As a student, what are the coping mechanisms that you can do to
avoid stress?
Answer: Since 'yung stress ko nga is nanggagaling sa academics, 'yung pinaka coping
mechanism ko is time management talaga. Gumagawa ako ng list ng mga kailangan ko
gawin ta's naglalagay din ako ng date kung kailan ko sisimulan, kailan ko kailangan
tapusin nang sa gano'n mas naaayos ko 'yung time ko and hindi ako na stress kasi nga
'yung stress ko is nagmumula lang siya kapag nag overload na 'yung mga schoolworks
ko.

pati 'yung inner self ko since kapag gumagawa ng work, maraming factors 'yung
pumapasok, 'yung pressure na gusto mo gawin 'yung ibang bagay kaysa 'yung gawin
'yung activity na 'to. Ayun 'yung feeling kong pinaka main reason kung bakit ako na i
stress.
Answer: Kapag hindi ko nagagawa 'yung gusto kong bagay. Kapag, kunyari, may
gagawin ako ta's hindi ko siya magawa o hindi ko siya ma outcast sa sarili ko na
maayos, 'yun 'yung isa sa sign na nai stress na ako. Ta's 'yung pangalawa, kapag hindi

me para magkaroon ako ng lose ng confidence sa sarili ko, gano'n. Pero, 'yung ibang
stress naman, which 'yung mga katulad nung mga nangyayari ngayon, nagkakaroon
kasi ako ng adrenaline rush 'pag nai stres ako so ayon, feeling ko mas nagiging
praktical na ako 'pag kumilos 'pag nagkaka stress na ako so ayon, depende sa
sitwasyon kung ano naging epekto sa akin nung stress. Ayun lang.
Answer: Ayon so, 'pag nai stress kasi ako physically, hindi ako makakain nang
maayos 'pag nai stress ako so 'yun 'yung tingin kong unang epekto ng stress sa akin
physically. Aside from that, kapag stress din kasi ako, hindi ako nakakatulog agad, so
ayon, isa pa din 'yon siguro na naging epekto ng stress sa akin physically. Tapos yung
sa isa naman, sa emotionally, ayun den, emotionally unstable kapag nai-stress ka so,
ayun 'yung nangyayari sa akin kapag nai-stress ako, emotionally unstable ako. Pabago-
bago 'yung mood since nai stress ka na nga ta's may nangyayari pa sa paligid mo,
talagang mahirap, mahirap i-maintain 'yung mood na gusto mo. Ayun po 'yung sagot ko.
31
avoid stress?
Answer: Siguro to avoid 'yung stress talaga kasi, for me kasi talaga, nai stress lang
ako kapag 'yung mga bagay na ginagawa ko is minamadali ko na. So, for me, para sa
sarili ko, para hindi na ako ma stress is I'm going to try na gawin 'yung mga bagay na
mas maaga pa. Ayon, mas maaga, mas planado, mas may maayos na desisyon, mas
napag iisipan nang maayos. Ayun 'yung magiging coping techniques ko, kailangan ko
lang maging prepared. More prepared, more responsible sa mga ginagawa para hindi
ako nai stress. Ayun 'yung para sa akin.

become sleepy, having an abnormal eating habits, being lack of productiveness, being
uneasy, and sometimes they cry while looking at their activity. Lastly one of them has a
problem in breathing when she felt stress out.
Question No. 5
According to the students’ responses to our interviews, the most stressful
situation that they have faced as a senior high school student is their school projects,
especially their business plans and research. The explanation for this is that they felt
pressured and overwhelmed by the positions and tasks they were given. Some students
also experienced stress as a result of their online learning; this is due to the fact that
some of the students isn’t a fast learner, so they’re having a hard time to adjust to the
45
new method of learning, and some of them also often to have chores and issues at
home, so they are having difficulty managing their time because they are unsure what to
do first. This is also the case with students who are experiencing emotional problems.
Question No. 6
The majority of students experience negative effects of stress on their behavior,
for example, they are often upset or down. Some students’ decision-making abilities are
harmed as a result of their stress, and they are unable to think clearly and due to this it
affects their academics. Some also experienced issues with their sleeping patterns.
Despite of this though, some students experience positive effects from stress, such as
an adrenaline rush or being motivated to complete their assigned tasks. Some students,
on the other hand, are not as affected by their stress unlike the others.
Question No. 7
Based on the interviewee’s responses, the effects of stress from physical and
emotional aspect varies upon their own experience and situations, those who
experience negative impacts were much more contagious than those of experiencing
positive impact. As for negative, generally, the interviewees stated something about
emotional aspect such as they feel down, anxious, panic attacks, agitated and it affects
their mood quickly, they suffer from uneasiness, they were sought to be emotionally
unstable and their attitude transitions from something pessimistic compared to the usual
mindset when not stressed. It was also said that they have a loss of confidence and
46
melancholy sentiments and in terms of the physical, it was said that the majority of
people had a lack of sleep, which resulted in weight loss due to appetite loss, another
reaction was a loss of time management control. Some indicated that they can see
through the eyes of a stressed person and in one distinct response, they regarded
stress to have a positive impact on them, determining that being stressed is a cue for
them to cut off negativity and develop strategies to manage with stress.
Question No. 8
The respondents have a diversity and sequence of methods for coping with and
avoiding stress, several have mentioned that they usually end up cramming and
procrastinating, which causes them to rush their errands and tasks. It usually affects
their academic performance as well as overloaded school works, so the majorities have
asserted that in order to cope with academic stress regarding tasks; they should do their
work earlier to catch up on deadlines. As previously noted, interviewees' experiences
vary, and certain coping techniques may not work for others. On the upper hand, they
noted that entertainment activities such as watching movies, playing games, and
listening to music were a few of the activities that could help them relieve the stress
levels they were experiencing; on the other hand, some stated that sleeping was a way
of relaxing their minds, while others stated that exercising, performing religious acts,
and eating were examples of coping mechanisms of senior high school students. As a
result, the majority of respondents claimed that cramming was one of the prior reasons
of senior high school stress.

5.2 Conclusion
Managing academic workloads that must be completed correctly and trying
your best to perfect the tasks given to you at school is not simple. Of course, we do not
want to leave a “lazy” impression on teachers and we want to follow the timetable that
has been established. However, being tardy is very nerve-wracking and one may lose
track of future tasks. Synchronizing the problem at home and school and having to deal
with an unstable internet connection, especially when something important needs to be
passed. Unfortunately, not everybody has the privilege to pay for an internet that works
like the speed of lightning.
According to studies, students cannot function at their best when they are
stressed. They cannot focus on their studies because they are overwhelmed with
other concerns. This is manifested in physical and mental tiredness, fatigue and a
general lack of interest in activities that they took interest before. They are easily
irritated; they lose temper and may result in a conflict with their relationship in their
parents, families, friends and teachers. Students cannot think properly well because of
too much work.
Every student has their own coping mechanism, we only of focus on coping up to
prevent the stress that we feel. We feel the stress in every different situation, which can
cause of affecting the academic behavior of each student. Every assumption that we
have is connected to every student, based on the results, our assumptions is one of
their way to cope up with their stress, like listening to music, talking with their friends,
doing exercises, playing games, and also getting enough sleep. In conclusion, we have
various ways on how to cope up with stress and they used these coping mechanisms to
48
prevent or lessen the stress that they feel in their home and in academic stuffs. Most of
the answers are connected in our research, that most of the students are using these
ways of techniques as a part of their coping up with their stress.
5.3 Recommendations
The researchers make the following recommendations for students, teachers, parents
and especially to the future researchers about a specific topic which is stress.
5.3.1 Students
Many students have been stressed recently because of the pandemic that we
experience nowadays. That’s why we, as a researcher, giving a recommendation for
them regards understanding of the Stress topic and provides them an information how
to face it and encourage them to do it as well.
The following recommendations are made:
• Students should always communicate with their friends
• Do the things that make them happy
• Student should also use time management
• Avoid procrastination
• Always think about future as well that everything would be okay
• Think positive, it might be hard but this is one way for us to face our challenges.
49
5.3.2 Teachers
The following recommendations, of which some were mentioned in chapter 1 in
significance of the study, pertain to how teachers should motivate their students and
serve as a paradigm for them. Moreover, being a teacher is not easy that’s why we,
researcher, will not be focusing on how to motivate their students but to motivate them
as well.
The following recommendations are made:
• Connect with others
• Be a good example for the students
• Help and motivate your students as well as yourselves
• Never afraid to seek help
• Not every stressor is avoidable. So, stress management for them requires
creativity and also time management
• Adapt every situation including the expectation for the students. never compare
your students from those smart students because it may lead to disappointment
• Lastly, acceptance. Whatever happens will definitely happen.
5.3.3 Parents
Academic behavior of a student affects their relationship with their parents. Most of the
students were stressed right now especially that the set-up is Online Class. Students
50
have been doing their activities, projects, and requirements in their homes. We,
researchers, have recommendations to the parents on how to cope up and help with
their child when they are stressed.
The following recommendations are made for parents:
• Always check up on your child.
• Be supportive and listen to your child’s concerns.
• Acknowledge your child’s feelings. If they are feeling sad or anxious, always tell
them that you are always by their side and do not invalidate their feelings.
• Do not pressure them. One of the factors that affect a student’s behavior is due
to the pressure coming from their own parents.
• Show love.
5.3.4 Future Researchers
One of the beneficiaries of this study was the future researchers.
The following recommendations are made for Future Researchers:
• It could help them identify the causes of a student's stress and how it affects
them.
• This study could help them in their research that has the same topic to us, and
also to avoid plagiarism.
•This could help the future researchers in managing and coping up with their stress and
what how the stress affects one’s behavior.
