Abstract
This study used a questionnaire to explore the worries of 120 junior high school pupils in Taiwan and the coping strategies they use to cope with such worries. The data indicate that about a quarter of the respondents find being a pupil very or extremely stressful. They are particularly worried about tests and examinations, whether they will be able to gain entry to a good senior high school, and whether they will get a good job in the future. The most frequent coping strategies reported involved a mix of strategies: emotion control, problem solving, and social support. The study provides further evidence of the high level of worry commonly experienced by secondary school aged pupils in many countries.
