Abstract	Mental health is an essential component of the overall development of children, particularly during the upper primary stage of education. The present study examines the major factors affecting mental health among upper primary students studying in Classes VI to VIII. During this developmental period, students experience significant physical, emotional, psychological, and social changes. Family environment, academic pressure, school climate, peer relationships, socioeconomic conditions, and digital media usage are important factors influencing their mental health. The study adopts a descriptive and analytical review method based on available literature and relevant reports. It focuses on understanding the influence of these factors on students' emotional stability, self-confidence, social adjustment, and academic performance. The paper also highlights the importance of parental support, teacher guidance, school counselling, and a positive learning environment in promoting psychological well-being. The study suggests that mental health awareness and emotional support should be integrated into school education to ensure the holistic development of children.
