A Study On The Impact Of Youth Problems On Stress And Frustration In The Life Of High School Students

Abstract

This research study was conducted on students in grades 9th and 10th at government high schools in the Surguja district. The study covers the Ambikapur and Mainpat blocks of the district, with data collected from a total of 600 students (300 boys and 300 girls).

'Youth-related issues' encompass social, psychological, economic, or political challenges that affect young people. As children transition toward youth, they pass through various developmental stages. Throughout this growth process, they undergo holistic development—a journey often influenced by the stress and frustration inherent in a student's life. This study examines the impact of youth-related issues on the stress and frustration experienced by high school students and proposes solutions. These insights aim to assist students in developing effective study strategies, strengthening motivational mechanisms, and improving time management, ultimately helping to prevent academic decline.

The study finds significant variations in the youth-related issues faced by high school students; however, no significant correlation was observed between these issues and the levels of stress and frustration in their lives. Consequently, effectively addressing these youth-related challenges could reduce or even eliminate the stress and frustration they experience. If parents, teachers, school administrators, peers, and society at large treat these students with empathy, maintain reasonable expectations, and provide appropriate guidance and direction, the students can certainly achieve their goals—free from the burden of stress and frustration.
