According to Pachuki et al., (2015), during their later adolescent years, college
students spend most of their time in schools and frequently interact with peers,
classmates and teachers. Their ability to socially integrate with the entities in the
academe influences the state of their mental health. They suggest that the structure
interaction networks of adolescents influence the robustness of depressive
symptoms.
Fleming et al., (2005) provided strong empirical evidence that interventions that
strengthen students’ social, emotional, and decision-making skills also positively
impact their academic achievement. Students with frequent feelings of internalized
distress such as sadness, anxiety, depression) show poor academic functioning
and those with externalized distress such as anger, frustration, and fear exhibit
school difficulties

also be positive in some respects. Citing cases of her patients, Rifareal said that
while some students see distance learning as a source of stress, it also enables
them to be better in their studies.
