Summary/Abstract: The article brings an answer to the question of which situations students perceive as difficult andwhich coping strategies they rely on. The study, consisting of two surveys, was carried out in theschool year 2021/2022 and was conducted in 22 classes in the sixth and seventh years. Teams weredrawn from all such classes in state primary schools in one lager city. The questionnaire How DoYou Cope by Zygfryd Juczyński and Nina Ogińska-Bulik was used for the diagnosis. Analysis of theresults shows that girls and boys differ in their perception of difficult situations. In the girls’ group,both in the first and second survey, problems in relations with peers were indicated most frequent-ly, and those concerning family relations were mentioned somewhat less frequently. Boys, however,most frequently indicated that difficult situations are those that concerned school. The second mostfrequently mentioned ones were difficulties in relationships with peers. Irrespective of the type ofsituation indicated by the respondents as difficult, the strategy consisting in seeking support was usedleast frequently and a focus on emotions was used most frequently.
