Fr. (Dr.) Sibichen K. K.
Abstract: The study was meant to identify various stress coping strategies adopted by higher secondary school students. Stress affects not only our physical health but our mental wellbeing too. The best way to manage stress is to prevent it. This may not be always possible. So, the next best thing is to reduce stress and make life easier. It is interesting to note that, stress has two faces. It is a good servant, but a bad master. In other words, it can be one's best friend or worst enemy. The study was conducted among 100 higher secondary school students. Findings of the study revealed thatCognitive restructuring (80%) was the pro-active goal-oriented strategy and Aggression (90%) was the pro-active emotion focused strategy adopted by majority of students.
