Abstract
The study aims to understand the mental health challenges faced by Grade 12 Humanities
and Social Sciences students at Rito Monte de Ramos Sr. Memorial Nahaong National High
School (RMSMNNHS). Mental health is a major public health challenge, particularly for young
people in this generation, who are also major victims of such issues. Common mental health
challenges include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and stress, which can affect a
Mental health is a significant issue in today's generation, as it affects everyone who has
difficulties in daily life. Dealing with mental illness is important, but it was once overlooked by
others. Mental health problems are the primary causes of disability worldwide, and people
suffering from mental illness often experience severe negative effects in their daily lives.
Society's reaction only makes matters worse, and the general populace generally has a
stigmatizing attitude.
Overall, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the mental health challenges
faced by Rito Monte de Ramos Sr. Memorial Nahaong National High School students, helping
them gain a deeper understanding of the topic and raise public awareness. By providing valuable
information and guidance, the study aims to help students and their families better understand
One of the major issues in this society is mental health, particularly for young people in
this generation, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) mental health is increasing
worldwide, mainly because of demographic changes. As the researchers noticed, students are
also major victims of mental health issues. According to (Stallman, 2008; Storrie et al., 2010),
students' mental health is highlighted as a major public health challenge. The researchers
assumed that the students in 12 Humanities and Social Sciences in RMSMNNHS were facing
As cited in the journal of Word Psychiatry, authored by Galderisi et al. (2015), mental
well-being is a dynamic condition that allows individuals to employ their skills in line with
society's fundamental ideals. As referred to in Mental Health First Aid USA (2021), common
mental health challenges include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, suffering trauma, stress,
etc. These issues can affect a teen's thinking, feelings, and actions, affecting their daily life.
The study aims to understand the mental health issues that might be faced by 12 HUMSS
students and focuses on this topic to assist them. Dealing with mental health issues is
challenging, especially for teenagers, who often resort to suicide or self-harm due to careless
behaviors and lack of attention. The researchers believe that addressing mental health concerns
should be a top priority, as adults often overlook the importance of mental health. Therefore,
Depression and anxiety are common, but many avoid telling their parents about their struggles.
Researchers are investigating if 12-HUMSS students in RMSMNNHS are dealing with these
Researchers aim to understand mental health issues students face and how they can be
helped. The researchers aim to reduce the burden of mental health issues faced by students and
educate adults about the importance of mental health, particularly for those with depression or
anxiety. This study aims to reduce the burden on these students and promote their well-being.
This study aims to identify what kind of Mental Health Challenges are Encountered by
the Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences students at Rito Monte de Ramos Sr. Memorial
To gather all necessary information, facts, and knowledge, the research aims to find
1. What are the different challenges encountered by 12 Humanities and Social Sciences
students?

Mental Health
In this generation, mental health has become a hot topic. Because it caused so many
misunderstandings and harm to many people's lives, having a good mentality involves being able
to handle your emotions well, but having bad mental health might put your life in danger. This
problem affects everyone who has difficulties in daily life, not just one specific person. Dealing
with mental illness has been a huge issue for everyone. This is because people now consider
mental health issues to be important, but in the past, they were overlooked by others.
According to a 2015 article by Wei et al. in the journal BMC Psychiatry, mental health
problems are the primary causes of disability and are pervasive all over the world. People who
suffer from mental illness frequently experience severe negative effects in their daily lives, and
society's reaction only makes matters worse. The general populace generally has a stigmatizing
attitude.

METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This study will use a mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and
method to discover the mental health challenges encountered by grade 12 HUMMS students. The
study will also use a Narrative Inquiry to understand the impact of mental health among 12
HUMSS students.
The respondents of the study were the grade 12-HUMSS students at RMSMNNHS. The
researchers will randomly select 40% of the population of 12 HUMSS students. This study will
use a survey questionnaire and checklist instrument to gather data. A random sampling technique
Survey questionnaires and checklists were utilized as data collection tools by the
researchers to gather crucial information needed for the completion of the study. After that, the
survey questionnaires/checklist was created. Following the creation of the instrument, a letter
will be sent to the Head Principal, Research Teacher, and the respondents inquiring about their
consent to allow the survey questionnaire to be floated. To appropriately analyze the data, the
Based on the findings of the checklist provided to the respondents, the information

Figure 1. Q1: What are the different challenges you face in your daily life as a student?
According to the following data obtained from the respondents, 75% say that the
challenges they face are stress. They were followed by anxiety (25%), eating disorders (16.7%),
trauma (16.7%), and depression (0%). This means that 12 HUMSS students often feel stress in

response, 16.7% agreed, 16.7% strongly agreed, 16.7% disagreed, and 8.3% strongly disagreed.
This shows that the majority of grade 12 (HUMSS) students seek their friends for help.
The graph displays the following percentages: 33.3% who selected agree, followed by
those who selected neutral, 25% who selected strongly disagree, and 8.3% who selected strongly
agree. This demonstrates that, in contrast to the other student, who is neutral or takes no sides,
the majority of students in 12 HUMSS have been approaching their parents for advice.
Figure 2.4: Primary care physicians should be the only ones to prescribe medication for mental
health.
50% of respondents stated they agreed, 25% claimed they were neutral, 8.3% said they
strongly agreed, 8.3% indicated they disagreed, and 8.3% said they strongly disagreed. This
indicates that the vast majority of participants believe that the only authority to recommend
meditation for mental health concerns should come from primary care physicians.
The graph above indicates that 50% of students selected "agree," with 33.3% selecting
"neutral," 8.3% selecting "strongly agree," and 8.3% selecting "disagree." This indicates that the
majority of students have daily routines that help them avoid thinking about mental health issues.

Summary of Findings
The study entitled " The Mental Health Challenges Encountered by the Grade 12-
gather comprehensive knowledge about the mental health challenges affecting 12- HUMSS
students. The study followed a Random Sampling method. The respondents of the study consist
of 12 Grade 12 Senior High School HUMSS students studying at RMSMNNHS. The researchers
collected data from the respondents using a questionnaire and checklist as the data-gathering
tool. Data collection was done through a Survey for the distribution of the questionnaire. The
gathered data were tallied and the findings were analyzed by the researchers.
The study reveals that Grade 12 HUMSS students at RMSMNNHS face various
challenges in their daily lives, including stress, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, and depression.
The majority of respondents (50%) believe they can manage their mental health, with 41.7%
seeking help from friends and 33.3% seeking advice from parents. The majority of respondents
believe that primary care physicians should be the only authority to prescribe medication for
mental health concerns. The majority of students also apply daily routines to reduce mental
concerns, with 50% agreeing and 33.3% agreeing. The majority of respondents strongly agree
that seeking professional assistance is important for mental health problems. The findings
highlight the importance of addressing mental health issues among students in a supportive
environment.
The 12 HUMSS students' mental health was surveyed, with a majority of respondents
agreeing that seeking professional help is crucial for their well-being. Physical activity was
found to be a significant factor in maintaining mental health, with 33.3% strongly agreeing. The
majority of respondents also agreed that schools should raise awareness about mental health,
with 66.7% strongly agreeing. Financial problems were identified as a significant cause of
mental health stress among the students, with 33% feeling it significantly decreased or slightly
decreased. Family problems also impacted some of the students, with 25% experiencing
significant increases and 8.3% feeling they had slightly increased. Personal relationship
problems also affected the mental health of the students, with 33% feeling it slightly decreased or
slightly increased. Grade consciousness was also a significant factor, with 41.7% of the students
feeling it was grossly similar. Unease about being judged by classmates was also a significant
factor, with 16.7% feeling it decreased and 8.3% feeling it increased. Discrimination was also a
significant factor, with 25% feeling it decreased, 16.7% feeling it increased, and 8.3% feeling it
increased.
Conclusion
More than one person in ten suffers from mental illness. We are unable to identify with
others because we are unable to feel their suffering. When people most need it, though, mental
health can help them become closer and feel less alone. It is critical to understand that the
community and loved ones of those suffering from mental illness also require help.
There is a clear connection between physical and mental well-being. Mental disorders
can have physical side effects as well. Anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse
are examples of mental illnesses. Since everyone’s experience of mental health varies, focusing
on these issues is essential. The first step in preventing this illness is recognizing its symptoms
Most RMSMNNHS Grade 12-HUMSS students struggle with issues like depression,
eating disorders, anxiety, trauma, and stress. Thirty-three percent of them agreed that physical
activity plays a significant role in their mental health. Their anxiety about being judged by their
fellow students, financial difficulties, family issues, issues in their relationship, and grade
consciousness are all major factors affecting their mental health. For mental health issues,
primary care doctors should recommend medication. Students can also use daily routines to help
manage their mental health. For students’ overall well-being, it is essential to address mental
