Objectives: Distress is an unsatisfactory state of mind, and anxiety is its main manifestation. This research studies the learning distress of pupils. Methods: (1) A questionnaire survey was conducted on 543 samples to get the date about students' learning anxiety. (2) Interviews with 5 participants with anxiety symptoms and their parents to get the stories behind the students' learning distress. Results: 64.1% of the students in the sample were found to have symptoms of high anxiety. The interview showed that pupils were dissatisfied with their learning environment, dissatisfied with their academic performance and learning status, and they felt very tired and bored, even afraid with their studies. Conclusions: Poor academic performance, too many extracurricular activities, parents' over-concern about grades, and uncomfortable parent-child communication are the reasons for the learning distress of pupils. Parents do not pay much attention to the learning mood of pupils. It is recommended that parents spend more time with the company and educational guidance to help children develop positive learning emotions.

The objective of this study was to verify the association of psychological factors and body practices with the academic performance of high school students. A sample of 330 students participated, made up of 167 girls and 163 boys. Likert scale instruments were used for collecting information on self-concept, and on general and academic self-efficacy. Time spent on moderate to vigorous physical activity was recorded, and so was participation in several types of body practices, such as sports, dances, martial arts, performing arts, and systematic physical exercises. Academic achievement was referred to from the students' grades on regular subjects. Linear regression analysis was used for verifying the association of independent variables with academic performance. The adjusted regression model explains between 7% and 36% of academic performance variance, whereas Self-Concept explains academic performance on six of the twelve subjects, and the mean of the grades, with Beta values between 0.13 (p = 0.02) for Sociology and 0.28 (p <0.01) for Mathematics. Academic self-efficacy explained performance on eleven subjects and the mean of the grades, with Beta values between 0.21 (p <0.01) for Physical Education and Philosophy, and 0.44 (p <0.01) for Biology. Participation in extracurricular activities involving body practices explained academic performance on six subjects and the mean of the grades, with Beta values between 0.14 (p = 0.02) for Sociology and 0.31 (p <0.01) for Arts. The studied psychological variables and participation in projects concerning body practices during extracurricular activities correlated with academic achievement as to several school subjects, and with the mean of the grades.
