The study aimed to determine the levels of stressful parenting, social stigma, and conduct disorders among intermediate school students; examine the relationships among these variables and differences according to gender and grade level; and assess the predictive ability of stressful parenting and social stigma in relation to conduct disorders. The study employed a descriptive, analytical, correlational approach and included a sample of 380 male and female students enrolled in schools affiliated with the Mosul Directorate of Education during the 2025–2026 academic year. Data were collected using three scales designed to measure the study variables. The findings indicated a high level of stressful parenting and moderate levels of social stigma and conduct disorders. Statistically significant differences were found across all three variables according to gender in favor of males and grade level in favor of third-grade intermediate students. The results also revealed significant positive correlations between stressful parenting and social stigma, on the one hand, and conduct disorders, on the other. Both variables significantly predicted conduct disorders among students.
