Abstract
Each of these students is reacting to a stressful situation. Some students may adjust to these situations with little difficulty; others may feel considerable pressure. Regardless of how students perceive various stressors, these situations are examples of stress-related concerns which students bring to the school setting and which are created by the activities and challenges offered in the school setting. Many of these stress-related problems interfere with learning.
