        abstract = {This research investigates the connection between procrastination and academic stress in adolescents. A comparative study was carried out involving 100 students (50 male and 50 female) to assess gender differences in procrastination behaviors and their influence on academic stress levels. Utilizing quantitative methods, including surveys and statistical analysis, the study tests three hypotheses. The findings reveal a significant relationship between procrastination and academic stress, with observable differences between genders. This study enhances existing psychological research and offers practical insights for developing educational approaches aimed at reducing academic stress. Additionally, the implications for academic performance, mental health, and future psychological interventions are discussed. The results underscore the importance of implementing structured time management and stress-relief programs specifically designed for adolescent learners.},
