This study examines the correlation between academic stress and mental health among secondary school students. Using a descriptive survey design, data were collected from a representative sample to assess how examination pressure, heavy workloads, and fear of failure influence psychological well-being. Key dimensions analyzed include emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and academic disengagement in core subjects. Results reveal a significant inverse relationship: heightened academic stress corresponds with increased irritability, social withdrawal, and reduced interest in learning. External factors such as parental pressure and competitive classroom environments intensify distress, whereas supportive family structures and positive teacher-student relationships foster resilience. The findings underscore the need for educational policies that balance academic rigor with mental health safeguards, advocating for stress-management interventions and holistic pedagogical practices to ensure student development remains both intellectually and psychologically sustainable.
