RAB Proposal-Faustina Gyamfi

My research question is: How has the CV pandemic impacted and changed teen Mental Health? This topic interests me because during this pandemic lot of students was very depressed. When covid-19 began lot of teenage were struggling with mental health. Students couldn’t sleep, eat, or study. It was like the world was about to crushed. Students felt lost constant approach to friends. Most teens found it difficult to approach their teachers, counselors, parents to tell them how they are feeling. This affect their school studies and make them fall behind. Most teenage thinks drugs or alcohol can help them feel less depressed but they don’t know they are risking their life. I already know that this pandemic has caused a lot of broken homes. Mental health can lead to bad things like suicide, drug abuse, unnecessary disability. Which it still happen even though the pandemic is over. Some points that I plan to explore and find out more about are what causes mental health and why do students take drugs or alcohol ?, and how can we stop mental health.

    In fact your question is NOT CLEARLY WRITTEN:

    How has the CV pandemic impacted and changed learning (remote), school life (QUESTION MARK NEEDED)

    Changed learning or changed remote learning? Well there was no remote learning before the pandemic! School life — what part of schoool life. What do you mean by the words “school life?” Remember the more specific your question the easier your researching will be.

  3. Faustina: This is better! You did an update here, yes?

    Could you include a few sentences about why you are personally interested in this topic? Did you get depressed because of the pandemic isolation? If not you, did you see your friends spiral downwards into depression? Did you see some use alcohol or drugs to deal with the pandemic blues? WHY ARE YOU FAUSTINA INTERESTED IN THIS TOPIC? Just a few sentences to add in to this proposal.

  4. I Think this is a very close to the heart topic because we are all teens that went threw this trauma. Some teens don’t know how to handle and deal with the things the pandemic did to them.
