The impact of Covid - 19 in Youth
Covid-19 has made a major
impact on a lot of people
especially the younger youth. It
has affected them both mentally
and physically, it has affected
the education of the young
children and the occupation of
the adolescence.
Save the Children of the
Philippines have stated that
parents, caregivers, and
community leaders should take
precautious measures to prevent
the exposure of young children
to the Covid-19. A total of 49
Covid-19 cases have been
confirmed by the government
since the start of March. It was
also stated that about 22 million
children and adolescents have
been missing out on school since
Monday after major cities have
suspended classes to prevent the
spread of the Corona Virus
(Covid-19). Schools should limit
the impact of distribution on
education through open,
distance, and online learning.
These learning methods
maintain the connection with
students, provide psychological
support, and avoid isolation.

REFLECTION
Based on your recommendations, what will be the possible
impact to the youngsters of Mandaluyong
City who are experiencing stress due to the pandemic? Will it
create social awareness and create any
difference?
"Mental health is a broader concept
than self-reported health status. It
relates to stress, anxiety,
depression, relationship problems,
addiction, mood disorders, and
other aspects of psychological well-
being. The pandemic is an
overwhelming situation since the
start of the year. Indeed, this causes
a lot of people to be stressed and
anxious. Especially concerns with
works, education, financials, or any
essentials that have been affected
during lockdowns. The fear and
worry could get the best of us, the
youth. Feeling these thoughts could
especially affect and will impact
the youngsters of Mandaluyong.
The impact of this can perceive the
effect on our thinking and
productivity. For example, wherein
Mandaluyong, there are families in
poverty and the new curriculum
and setting in education. The
changes can affect our youth.
Stress in the new environment can
affect their health. As one of the
three main causes of stress, today
is money, work, pandemic, and
health. Not only the adults can
experience stress and anxiety but
also us too.

We are affected too. We also need
acknowledgment that the youth as
the known hope for the future needs
help and guidance in these trying
times. Social awareness is crucial for
youth. This can help us understand,
recognize, and support us. To
enlighten us to be adaptive and
develop in these trying times is
better to start now and will be never
too late to mend as a youth to be
the hope of the nation."
-Andrea Heart A. Acantilado
As a student and part of the youth. I
am well aware of the things that have
been happening to the youth. Mostly
like they are still adjusting and
accepting the fact that they have to
stay home for their safety. We have
different ways to bond with our
families and get to ourselves. We are
all carrying a big burden, and with
this, we must stick together instead of
thinking negative thoughts we must
surround ourselves with faith and love.
It is hard to understand this situation
but sometimes we have to face the
reality that we will never know when
and how this pandemic will end. I
think in this time of the pandemic we
must always remember to care for the
youth. The youth is the most effective
in this situation. We should never give
up during these times because all we
need is care and voice that the youth
will use to still outshine even in a
pandemic.

REFLECTION
Based on your recommendations, what will be the possible
impact to the youngsters of Mandaluyong
City who are experiencing stress due to the pandemic? Will it
create social awareness and create any

This pandemic has come too far
and had killed the lives of many
people. As a student youth, it
wasn’t easy dealing with these
hardships right now and thought
that it would be easy at first
since we're not allowed to attend
a face to face classes. I’ve
realized that we should not only
focus on ourselves but other
priorities like school and physical
and mental health. We should
not let one of our priorities broke
and put God in our center. We
also have different problems and
different ways on how to survive
on it but I think it’s way helpful
if our body and mind are healthy
so we could think a lot and more.
Though it’s hard to deal with
new normal hopefully I’m
reaching on it right now. The
tasks given to us in online
classes weren’t that easy
because of the deadline and also
to many to handle not just in
school but at home. Giving up
won’t help you solve a problem,
maybe it won’t bother you right
now, but sooner or later you’ll
end up solving a bigger one. All
we need right now is to take care
of ourselves and make people
believe that youth can still grow
despite what is happening right
now

The coronavirus has changed
the way we live. Our life has
been completely uprooted
because of the virus, especially
the youth, we are sounder
pressure because of the
pandemic. For me, young
people should be given more
attention than other things
because we can not be just
inside the house for long, many
young people are committing
suicide now with a pandemic
because of loneliness so we
should take care of ourselves
just like what dr. Jose Rizal
said "The youth is the hope of
the town" so what if young
people lose hope? So before its
too late pay attention to the
young people who are
suffering more now with a
pandemic.
- Alezandra Collantes
"This global pandemic has
affected so many lives and
taking the lives of thousands and
thousands of people. It also
affected the education of the
young youth and made others
jobless. As a teen who’s still
studying and learning through
virtual and blended learning at
first, I thought it was going to be
easy given all the requirements
that we need to have for our
classes online and I realized that
we should not only focus on our
studies but ourselves as well
because we need to be both
physical and mentally ready
hence the virus that is still
occurring on our world."
