Summary/Abstract: Adolescents' emotional states might have a negative impact on their mental health. Each individual is sensitive in unique ways, depending on his personality, life experience, and developed skills. Numerous studies have found that individual differences in life satisfaction in teens can predict key life outcomes. The significance of this study stems from its goal, which is to investigate the relationship between teenagers' emotional states, life satisfaction, and school accomplishment in order to improve their mental health.The study was carried out on a handy sample including 313 teenagers of both genders (153 male, 161 female). Respondents, who range in age from 15 to 18, attend Tuzla Canton secondary schools. The study employed the adolescent emotional state questionnaire (Birleson, 1980) and the life satisfaction scale (Penezić, 1968). The findings show that adolescents' emotional states and life satisfaction are positively correlated. There was no discernible link found between emotional states and life satisfaction with academic achievement. The results indicate a substantial disparity in emotional states according to age, gender, and academic achievement. The aforementioned factors highlight how crucial it is to cultivate emotional intelligence in order to enhance their mental and overall well-being.
