WHY WE EXIST
We all know the struggle: One minute you're chilling, the next you're buried under a mountain of homework. Anxiety hits, perfectionism is a burden, and your extracurriculars are fighting for your last brain cell. Between tests, clubs, sports, and trying to have a social life, it’s…a lot.
That’s why our campaign exists: to give high school students a place to breathe, rant, laugh, and drop the academic stress while encouraging them to maintain positive study habits.
Good luck messages for exams!
WHO ARE WE?
We're three high school students who relate to the rush that academics give you. Through social media posts, community events, surveys, podcasts, and more, we aim to bring awareness to the potential effects of overworking yourself during high school. We focus on protective factors, such as TIME MANAGEMENT and MOTIVATION, and risk factors, especially PROCRASTINATION.

WHY IT MATTERS
Excessive academic pressure negatively impacts students.
- Mental health: ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND BURNOUT
- Physical health: SLEEP ISSUES, HEADACHES, FATIGUE, and WEAKENED IMMUNITY
- Academic performance: POOR FOCUS, LOWER GRADES, and DROPOUT RISK
- Social Life: WITHDRAWAL, ISOLATION
It creates a bad cycle, making learning harder and damaging overall well-being, sometimes leading to serious outcomes like substance abuse or self-harm.
70% of students never tell their teachers or parents about how stressed they are.
“My memory is very poor… I cannot
remember even the most simple facts.”
- Charles Darwin (during burnout)
The psychological concept of stress wasn’t formally defined until the 1930s (by Hans Selye).
