Introduction
Being overworked, more specifically in terms of school work, is one of the many struggles
and obstacles faced by students, especially the pupils of the Senior High department. In this
study, the researchers want to know and become cognizant about the various effects and
consequences of being overworked on school requirements to the Senior High School students.
Doing schoolwork, homework and extracurricular tasks are essential in the learning areas of
each and every student. These certain activities and requirements given are useful and they also
serve as a tool in aiding one’s education and learning. In addition to that, they provide support
and assistance to a student’s growth and development in different factors and aspects of their
lives. These certain tasks and activities are fabricated for the sole purpose of positively
contributing and to serve as a handicap for each and every pupil. Although, it is a common
knowledge that has been passed around whereas too much of everything is actually harmful and
could even be detrimental to different aspects of a person’s life and well-being. Thus, it has come
to the thoughts of the researchers to find out and garner information as to what would be the
effects of being overworked, especially in school requirements, or having too many duties to
According to William Crain, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at City College of New York
and the author of Reclaiming Childhood, “Kids are developing more school-related
stomachaches, headaches, sleep problems, and depression than ever before.” These problems are
due to being glued to their desks for 7-8 hours, making time for their extracurricular

involvements, possibly a job, and having hours of homework on top of that. Not only that, but
students also face a lot of anxiety in school amongst their peers. When we are constantly
providing students with more and more homework, there will be kids that benefit from it and
others that don’t. When a kid sees that the person sitting next to them is already done with their
assignment, while they’re still stuck on the first problem, it is going to create a competitive
The researchers are receptive to learning and understanding the various effects that being
overworked can bring, specifically, to the Senior High School students. For it has already been
known and is not unbeknownst to many that having to do excessive amount of work, whether or
not a student or working person, regardless the field or industry one belongs to, and also
regardless of one’s walk of life, can produce negative effects whether physically, mentally, and
even emotionally. Hence, the main purpose of this research is to accumulate and obtain

Assumption of The Study
Senior High School students who are not overworked will perform better academically in
contrary to the students who are overworked. It has also come to thought that students who
are not overworked will have a better quality of life outside school in comparison to the
students who are overworked. In addition to that, the researchers have also formulated
assumptions whereas those who are overworked will be more vulnerable or susceptible to
being stressed and worn-out as opposed to the students who are not overworked.
Overall these suppositions, it has been of an insight in according to the viewpoint of the
researchers that pupils of the Senior High department who are stacked with school work and
activities will have difficulties in working more efficiently in different aspects of life,
whether academically or on other areas in contrast with the students who are not overworked.
