The purpose of this study was to generate conversations with post-secondary students about common sources of stress within the post-secondary setting, and gain insight into the social context surrounding these issues. Five major themes of stress were identified, including: academics, the learning environment, campus culture, interpersonal, and personal stressors. Implications of these findings are discussed in the context of existing literature as well as possible directions for future research.<br>

The study was a qualitative analysis of secondary students' perceptions towards their school disciplinary absence, the wider context in which it occurred, and its impact on their behaviors and re-entry to school. Findings showed that suspensions had mixed effects on the students. Many of the students including those wanting to improve their behavior, reported no change or worsening behaviors on return to school. Those who reported improved behaviors and greater self-control had, in most cases, received support or participated in alternative programs during and after their suspension. Students identified factors that impacted on the success or otherwise of their returning to school and improving their behaviors. Suspension experiences varied considerably indicating their individual meaning for students and the need for individual approaches to address their needs. A teacher reference group reflected many students' perceptions. Implications for the use of suspensions and reducing the number of school disciplinary absences were discussed.
