What are some problems you face as a student which adds to your stress level?

Answer:

The first problem I face would be tests and exams. As I do not want to disappoint my teachers and parents, I would always try my best to score as high as possible. While preparing for test, it will increase my stress level. The second problem I face would be homework. Sometime teachers might give us too much homework. While doing the homework, it will increase my stress level.
