1) Avoiding conflict can lead to chronic anxiety and stress as unresolved issues are ruminated over rather than addressed. This heightened anxiety impairs concentration, sleep and exam performance, undermining the learner’s emotional stability during the matric year.

2) Repeatedly avoiding conflict undermines self-esteem and fosters a sense of helplessness because the learner feels unable to assert their needs. Over time this can produce resentment, social withdrawal and reduced motivation, damaging relationships and overall wellbeing.
