The study aimed to understand how environmental factors like self-perceptions, parental beliefs, school and community environments influence adolescents' academic perceptions and performance. Data was collected from adolescents, parents, teachers and community members using tools like interviews and surveys. Results showed stressed adolescents found studying burdensome and performed poorer than unstressed adolescents. Stressed adolescents also had lower self-concept and perceived higher demands from their environment. The study proposed intervention programs for adolescents, parents, teachers and the community to help mitigate academic stress.
