Cross-border tensions between Israel and Lebanon have led to fears of an all-out war

Stress is partially caused by certain activities like sleeping late, an overdose of extracurricular activities. If you avoid participating in too many extracurricular activities, you can focus more on normal school life. If you manage your time and be well-organised, school life will be stress free. I think at school, an overdose of classes can raise the stress level of students. Lessons should be evenly planned rather than teaching too many topics in a day.

Students may feel the pressure of school life due to many reasons. Lots of assignments or large portions covered at school as well as too many extra-curricular activities may be the reason for this stress. But in the end, I believe, it depends on how students perceive school life. If they change their perspective in the way they look at school life and take it as a challenge rather than a burden, there won’t be any room for stress.

School life is like a pre-designed package that lasts almost a decade. Although it is fun to be at school, at times it also includes some stress and confusion in certain matters such as exams and results. But if you try not to take too much stress at school and organise your school life a bit then this short period of life can sure kindle some fond memories.

School life is really stressful and depressing at times. Excessive homework is given on a daily basis along with assignments and projects to be shown almost every day. We try hard to juggle between studies and other activities. We also have to stay back for other extracurricular activities. Nevertheless, it’s the studies that make school life more stressful.
Akhil Rahman
Abu Dhabi Indian School
I agree that school life is too stressful. We hardly get any time for recreational activities as we get up at 6am and reach home only by 4pm. We are given too much homework and less holidays. We should be given some more time for recreational activities and that should be balanced with studies. We should also have less homework.

Indian High School, Dubai
Yes, I do feel my school life is stressful. Balancing school life with other activities (personal life) is a skill which not everyone can achieve. Nobody is perfect and you can’t manage all your social life priorities in one go. Even though, we students moan about it, these days are the most memorable days in one’s life. School life is fun too.
