The results showed that most of the adolescents present a moderate level of academic stress and a deep level of academic stress, a small amount of the sample obtained a mild level of academic stress, and statistically significant differences were found between male and female genders. More than half of the investigated population presented a low level of aggressiveness, followed by medium and high, the levels with the lowest predominance of aggressiveness were low and very high. For the verification of the hypothesis of correlation between academic stress and aggressiveness, in this case, given the fulfillment of the normality assumption, the Pearson Correlation Statistic was used. Once the data were analyzed, it was concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between the study variables and a directly proportional correlation with a moderate degree of relationship.
