a danger in future which is related to an undefined object.

Academic Performance is affected by numerous factors they could range

from past events school you come from you previous, economics, condition.

According to Newth (2011) these responses have proven that people directly

or indirectly link their stressors to other people. The one thing that many forget is

that it is life and it is inevitable. There are certain things we simply cannot
change. Another key aspects are in the volunteers is that they are the ones. Who

are more stressed than and is not dealing well with it in order to overcome it we

need to be aware of it and deal with the fact that it happened and you have to

tolerate to manage it.

As per, De Forche B. (2013) That’ s why they say the grade point (GPA) of

the students which is used to see studen’t academic performance might get

affected by its health behaviour and activities.

you get success in their academic achievements then students feel relax and full

confidence in their study. On other hand, the learning process and suffering have
