8. ABSTRACT
This refers to a short
summary of your
research, explaining
the different sections
briefly and clearly.
STUDYING THE MENTAL HEALTH
OF STUDENTS DURING
PANDEMIC
The research explored the mental health state of grade 12
students of St. Ambrose Catholic School during the COVID-19
pandemic and how it affected their general well-being in
connection to their study habits. Participants are composed of
75 grade 12 students, 32 male students, and 40 female
students from all the academic strands (ABM, GAS, HUMSS,
STEM). Each participant was given two survey forms; one
referring to their mental health state before pandemic and one
during the pandemic. Results suggest that there indeed was
an affect on the mental health of the participants pre-pandemic
andduring thepandemic,

9. CONCLUSION
This is the last part of your
researchwhere you
synthesize all the
important aspectsof the
study and confirmto your
readers why the research
is worth studying.
Students who suffer from mental health issues should
be given appropriate attention immediately. A
significant number of grade 12 students from St.
Ambrose Catholic School experience distress because
of the online educational setup brought about by the
pandemic. For this not to escalate further, these
students should be provided with professional help.
Parents should also play a vital role in letting their
children know that they are aware of this issue and
provide the emotional support that the students need
duringthepandemic.

11. INTRODUCTIO
N
This indicates the
presentation of your
chosen topic.
COVID-19, the pandemic that forced people,
establishments, businesses, and nations to close down
and isolate themselves from the public, has substantial
adverse effects on individuals’ mental health, particularly
teenage learners. Findings suggest that students who are
enrolled in online classes due to the pandemic had
difficulties coping with the new academic system (Tan,
2020). Feelings of laziness, loss of sleep and interest, and
restlessness are just some of the evident signs of mental
distressamongstudents(Lapaz&Reymunde,2020).
