Abstract
This study investigated level and sources of stress among secondary school students in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja. The study was a descriptive survey and the population comprised all senior secondary school students in the FCT. A sample of 18 secondary schools out of the 59 public senior secondary schools in the FCT was involved in the study with a total of 540 respondents made up of male and female students. A questionnaire was designed by the researchers and validated through expert judgment to collect relevant data. The data collected were analyzed using percentage, statistical weighted mean and standard deviations for the research questions while t-test was used to test the hypotheses. The results indicated that secondary school students had a medium level of stress and some of the significant sources of stress include: academic, intra-personal and environmental. There was a significant gender difference in the level of stress and also some sources of stress among secondary school students. It was recommended that the guidance and counselling unit of secondary schools should identify students with stress and provide adequate support and management strategies.
