Two standard and normalized questionnaires including teens’ attachment to parents and peers by Greenberg and facing with stressful situations by Kalzbick were used to gather data. Final first term scores were used as academic performance. Descriptive (frequency, percentage and mean) and inferential statistics (regression) were used to analyze data. research hypotheses were supported and the results showed that parents’ attachment styles are meaningful in explaining students’ academic performance (P<0.005). Among attachment style sub-scales, trusting to parents, relationship with parents, alienation feeling with parents and relationship with peers have positive additive effect on students’ academic performance so that with increase of these sub-scales, students’ average mean increased too. The relationship of peers trusting with students’ academic performance is negative and decreasing so that with the increase of this sub-scale, students’ average means declines. There fond a meaningful relationship between coping with stress strategies and students’ academic performance. Stress coping strategies had different effect on students’ academic performance. Problem based strategies had positive and additive effect so that with the increase of this sub-scale, students’ average mean increased too.
