Abstract
In this paper we analyzed the relationship between school performance and anxiety in adolescents. School performance is closely related to Education and competition, which are two components found in all cultures of the world. The foundations of competition are difficult to identify compared to those of education that are hidden in an unknown past. People have always considered competition and education as important aspects, both in the past and in the present. Educational competitions are found in Romania, as being organized in the form of Olympics and school competitions. These are carried out in accordance with the provisions of the National Education Law no. 1/2011, subsequently completed by the Methodology - framework for conducting and organizing school competitions and is addressed to students in middle and high school classes, being organized by subject, and have as general objective "stimulating students with high school performance or who have interest and special skills in the scientific, technical-applied, cultural-artistic, civic and sports fields ”(MEN, 2011). Subsidiary to this objective we find as mentioned some secondary ones such as the desire to stimulate critical thinking and creativity through the opportunity to manifest motivation in learning and identifying the talents, abilities and knowledge of students of all ages. In Romania, through competitions, the state offers the winners cash prizes, scholarships or places in camps.

Summary
Anxiety in adolescents In the broadest sense, adolescence refers to the period that marks the transition from childhood to adulthood. It usually lasts between 12 and 18 years, which corresponds approximately to the time from the onset of puberty (ie, specific hormonal changes) to the independence of the guardian (ie, the legal definition of adulthood in many countries). „These are the emotions that refer to the pleasure of learning and the pride offered by success or evaluation anxiety In the past, these school emotions have been neglected in research in the field of educational psychology, with the exception of evaluation anxiety” (Holic, Crețu, 2018: 82).
