From a survey taken from 1,000 high school students, they have said that school is the main cause of stress, also 40% of parents who took a similar survey said that their children are experiencing stress from school. Both say that it is caused more by homework than bullying and/or social issues.
Stress has been noticed by many schools staff and they have tried to relieve some stress which is always short lived due to all the tests, quizzes, and the constant competition against peers and rival schools to have the best grades and reputation to get into good colleges.

I also feel like if school isn't going to change any time soon then I should find other ways to make it less stressful.
