Impact of Over-Disciplined Environment on the Academic Performance of Adolescents in Indian Society

The paper aims to know the impact of over-discipline on the academic performance and mental health of adolescents in Indian society. It is based on both doctrinal and empirical research. The empirical study was based on questionnaires answered by 220 Indians of which 133 were adolescents and 87 were parents. Two questionnaires were circulated online for adolescents and parents separately to receive data that could further the doctrinal research. Through the data, all three hypotheses were proved i.e., over-discipline and parental pressure leads to academic failure among adolescents in Indian society, adolescents are more likely to suffer from mental health problems when living under an over-disciplined environment and punishment is not necessary for academic improvement, and achievement of adolescents.
