A new study, the first of its kind, shows that the less the stress, the better the grades. Students who drink, smoke, stay up late, and have high stress or high emotional problems tend to have lower grades with an average GPA of 2.72. Those who said they had no significant stress have an average GPA of 3.3.  Stress is a large factor to grades. For example a senior from Duluth had to go home and take care of family members with serious health problems. Which affected his stress greatly, and you could see it in his grades. Being able to handle stress is as great of a problem. This finding is very important because it can persuade schools and colleges to do what they can to help students manage their stress, for the best of their education.
