T The academic demands of the upper basic level such as studying for an exam, reviewing lessons, executing an assignment, preparing a project, preparing an exhibition, among others; They are invariable. These mean an academic and emotional burden for adolescent students, which means that they may or may not fulfill this work while evaluating how they manage to accomplish it, at the last moment, with help, without understanding the task, etc. The exercise of evading, postponing, avoiding or justifying delays refers to procrastination, in which some secondary students often ask themselves: is this what I want to do during my life? Will I be able to perform these tasks without the support of teachers? Is it worth it for this? Will I have enough knowledge to enter university? These types of questions can limit the student's development both personally and academically. In this way, it is summarized that secondary life requires personal resources such as time management and social skills, and cognitive resources such as problem solving and critical thinking reflective, so these demands can be externalized in students as a threatening or alertness, which is usually known as anxiety. This is a recurring characteristic in the majority of adolescent students who face new tasks that have to do with their lives, since they not only have academic responsibilities, but also go through a series of changes of an economic, personal, emotional nature, etc. to which are added the efforts to try to maintain and maintain an advantageous average for their future work.
