Students from various social and economical backgrounds are carefully analyzed to understand the differences when they handle with academic pressures. Questionnaires are used in this study to investigate the second-graded senior high school students in Changhua County. This study uses simple random sampling to randomly choose two classes from each selected school. The number of questionnaires sended to all schooles is 748 and valid samples amount to 739 people. The retrieval rate of questionnaires is 98.80%. The research tools of this paper consist of a self-designed stress scale of senior high school students and questionnaire of their coping methods. The obtained data are analyzed by the mean, standard deviation, T-test, and one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiply regression. The conclusions of this study are as follows:

3.Senior high school students of different sexes, school types, and residential locations have obvious differences in the degree of academic stress they feel. Girl students feel more personal stress than boy students. Private school students feel more school stress than public school students. Urban students have more peer stress than rural students.
4.Senior high school students of different sexes, residential locations, and family social and economical statuses have obvious differences in the frequencies of their coping with academic stress.
5.The way for senior high school students to deal with academic stress positively correlates with their stress level.
