         <description><![CDATA[<ul><li>"More than 10 months into the pandemic, mental health is a simmering crisis for many of the nation's schoolchildren, partly hidden by isolation but increasingly evident in the distress of parents, the worries of counselors and an early body of research."</li><li>"Holed up at home, students dwell in the glare of computer screens, missing friends and teachers. Some are<em> </em>failing classes. Some are depressed. Some are part of families reeling with lost jobs, gaps in child care or bills that can't be paid."</li><li>"Some students care<em> </em>for, or grieve, relatives with covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, which has claimed more than 400,000 lives in the United States."</li><li>Mental health problems increasing from March 2020 to October 2020 by 31% for ages 12-17 and by 24% for ages 5-11, compared to in 2019.</li><li>Unstable routine and isolation </li><li>"'Students who might never have had a symptom of a mental health condition before the pandemic now have symptoms,' Rothman said."</li></ul><div>NOTE: This shows the drastic impacts that the pandemic has on students' mental health.</div><ul><li>Mental health issues are not widely discussed in her Latino community. (her = a junior who suffered from anxiety)</li></ul><div>NOTE: If this shows no acknowledgment in one minority community, imagine how many other smaller communities don't talk about mental health. Most of America is made of smaller groups, so this no talk of mental health will affect a lot of people, especially students.</div><ul><li>The lack of friends and peers during the pandemic seems to be a big element that affects students in highschool.</li><li>"Students who are most vulnerable are often most affected - tending to have greater family disruption and economic hardship, less access to mental health services and fewer devices for connecting to school."</li></ul><div><strong>Two types of students during online schooling:</strong></div><ol><li>"Experts point out that students can have very different experiences of isolating at home. Some are doing better academically - free from social anxieties, peer pressures and distractions, and getting more sleep. Some have bonded more with their families."</li><li>"But others are visibly struggling: kids who don't get out of bed, who stop eating, who harm themselves or withdraw from families and friends. Kids who fail their courses or no longer want to plug in."</li></ol><ul><li>The lack of cameras on during online classes makes it hard for teachers and counselors to see students' faces, expressions, and concerns.</li><li>"'We have to be more intentional and active.'"</li><li>There are way more mental health concerns that are hiding.</li><li>School isn't the whole cause of the negative impact on students' mental health, it can be their home environments.</li><li><mark>Tens of thousands of abused children have not reported their abuse during the pandemic.</mark></li><li><mark>"Teachers are among the frequent reporters of potential abuse, a role mandated by law."</mark></li><li>"Mental health problems were on the rise for young people before the pandemic. Suicide had reached a record high, the second-leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 24."</li><li>"Online learning means a pile of work every day."</li></ul><div>NOTE: Teachers feel that since students are at home, that they have more free time during the pandemic to do more work than normal. But the pandemic affects students with having a lack of motivation.</div><ul><li>"'It's hard to just come out and explicitly ask for help or ask for a break,' she said." (she = a high schooler)</li><li>Other anxiety-driven events have occurred during the pandemic: the wave of systemic racism and the storming of the capital in the United States.</li><li>"A newly published review of dozens of studies about the effects of social isolation and loneliness on the mental health of previously healthy children and adolescents found that they increased the risk of depression and possibly anxiety for up to nine years."</li><li>Students also suffer stress from their parents, not only from school.</li><li>Suicide has gone up majorly.</li><li>Clark County, Nevada lost 12 currently/previously students to suicide in the first semester of school. And lost a total of 24 students in one year to suicide.</li><li>The demand for the help of mental health problems is high.</li><li>"Two months into the pandemic, Neely lost a student who stopped in her office every day.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Source #1 states that students who moved from in-person learning to remote learning, didn't have the accountability of being present at school. But having the accountability  makes a teen's routine concrete, and right now, during the COVID pandemic, a concrete routine is needed for a teen's mental health to be stable. Part of the cause of a teen's isolation and anxiety is caused by the unknown future of the pandemic, but if something is for sure or known, it will ultimately lessen a teen's anxiety.<br>So... I have a solution: Lets make a social hour! A way for high schools to help put socialization back into teens' lives, is to create a required period of socializing. Some students miss the communication and interaction with others, and some just miss the atmosphere of peers talking around them. Without this, students are left with isolation. <br>Although not every student misses the academic part of school, most miss the socializing part of school. When going to in-person school, it is an accountability that one must go to, but socializing is a part of going to school too. And remote learning takes away the most common and enjoyable part of going to school; socializing. So if high schools incorporates what lacks most, communication with others, in remote learning, it will bring back the authentic part of going to school.<br>A required social hour period could contain guided discussion, such as what we already do on discussion Mondays during Academic Leadership class: a rose, thorn, and bud; or ups and downs during the week. This will allow students to share what works best for them, and to share and relate with ideas or problems brought up. Then the rest of the period could just be talking with friends, playing games, and doing other fun activities. This social hour doesn't need to be that long, but just a decent amount where students can get their socialization in.<br><br>If students communicate to each other about how they are feeling, they can relate and know that they aren't the only one experiencing isolation.</div>]]></description>
