Impact of COVID-19 on Kids and Teens' Mental Health

Anxiety and Its Impact on Teenagers During Lockdown
This section focuses on the impact of COVID-19 on young people's mental health, specifically addressing anxiety and its effects on teenagers during the lockdown period. The speaker provides insights into the nature of anxiety and how it manifested during the pandemic.
Highlight: 41% of teenagers reported feeling more anxious than usual during lockdown.
The speaker explains that anxiety is more than just feeling nervous about specific situations like being called on by a teacher or presenting in front of a class. It's described as a constant feeling of uneasiness and having so much on one's mind that self-doubt becomes pervasive, regardless of reassurance.
Example: The speaker uses a metaphor comparing anxiety to coffee in a mug. When there's just a little coffee left, it's easier to manage. But when the mug is full to the brim, any small disturbance can cause a significant spill, representing how anxiety can overwhelm an individual.
This analogy illustrates why some people may react differently on different days, as the amount of "coffee" in their "mug" varies. During lockdown, many teenagers, including the speaker, felt as if the world was attacking them and found it difficult to cope.
The speech concludes with a call to action, urging listeners to pay more attention to those struggling with anxiety and to take steps to address the mental health challenges faced by teenagers.
Quote: "We must do something about it. We must pay more attention to those who are struggling with anxiety."
This powerful conclusion emphasizes the urgent need for increased awareness and support for teenagers dealing with mental health issues, particularly in the context of the ongoing psychological impact of COVID-19 post-pandemic.
Impact of Lockdown on Teenagers' Mental Health
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the mental health of students, particularly teenagers. This section explores the emotional toll of lockdowns and social distancing measures on young people, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing mental health issues in this vulnerable population.
Highlight: 71 percent of teenagers reported feeling worse than usual during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The speaker strongly believes that teenagers' mental health has deteriorated during the pandemic, calling for increased awareness of the various mental health problems currently affecting young people. Mental illness can significantly impact students' motivation, concentration, and social interactions, which are essential qualities for success.
Example: The speaker uses the metaphor of feeling "trapped, like a butterfly in a jar" to illustrate the emotional state of many teenagers during lockdown.
The isolation and confinement experienced during lockdowns led to increased anxiety and the development of mental health problems such as depression among teenagers. This resulted in a rapid increase in mental illness diagnoses, leaving a substantial impact on all teenagers and causing many to feel insecure and different from others.
Definition: Depression is described as more than just regular mood fluctuations; it's when a teenager feels as if their entire life is falling apart and they don't see the point of living.
The speaker shares personal experiences of feeling overwhelmed and lost during lockdown, emphasizing the need for society to ensure that teenagers receive the help and support they deserve. They highlight that depression can be challenging to identify in teenagers and may manifest as increased negativity, decreased motivation, or harsh self-criticism.
Vocabulary: Exasperated - feeling very annoyed or frustrated Vocabulary: Despondent - feeling hopeless and extremely unhappy
The speech emphasizes the severity of depression, describing it as an "emotional rollercoaster" where one is screaming but nobody is listening or taking action. The speaker urges the audience to consider the potential consequences of ignoring teenagers' mental health issues and calls for immediate change.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
