There are multiple factors involved, including pressure to succeed in academics, financial stress, uncertainty about which major or career path to choose, increased social media use, and less stigma around seeking help. Students commonly experience stress because of increased responsibilities, a lack of good time management, changes in eating and sleeping habits, and not taking enough breaks for self-care.  

If things change I believe that students would become happier and would simply have time to enjoy their youth while they have it. Having a better schedule for many things like sleep, and homework could really improve the student's mental health. Their stress and depression can even decrease a 20% to even 25%.

If we don't correct this stress, and If It's left unaddressed, stress can lead to depression and anxiety in students. This can, in turn, negatively impact school and work performance and personal relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and peers.
