Key quote / piece of evidence:
PISA reports that students who “felt a high level of pressure from schoolwork” were substantially more likely to report psychosomatic and emotional problems (e.g., feeling nervous, having difficulty sleeping, feeling sad), and that pressure from schoolwork is consistently associated with lower reported well‑being across countries.

URL / Database:

Key quote / piece of evidence:
The APA’s report finds that school (and school/work) is a primary source of stress for Generation Z and documents that many teens report high levels of stress related to grades, college admissions, and academic expectations — linking that stress to negative effects on mental health (increased anxiety, trouble sleeping, and depressive symptoms).
