Abstract
The purpose of this article is to offer K-12 educators, school districts, parents, and university professors, insights on understanding the impact on mental health on adolescents due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Education has pivoted to remote and hybrid learning instruction for students during the pandemic of 2021. This has caused an increase in the amount of mental health issues due to social isolation and the lack of interconnectedness. Grounded in the knowledge of current issues in education, this article provides suggestions on how adolescents can cope during the global pandemic. Additionally, the article contributes to the middle school and high school field by offering insights to stakeholders about how to address mental health issues among adolescents today.
