The Effects of Social Isolation on the Mental Health of Senior High School Students in

Malasiqui Catholic School in the New Normal

Social Interaction is among the basic needs of human beings. We tend so socialize constantly in
one way or the other throughout our lifetime. The study focus on how Social Isolation affects the
Mental Health of Senior High school students in Malasiqui Catholic School in the New Normal.
According to the Greek philosopher Aristotle, “Man is by nature a social animal”. A person who
lives without society is either a beast or god, this actively illustrates that human lives depend on
other humans and they cannot be able to live in isolation forever. Because of unprecedented
crisis of Covid-19 pandemic, people have been forced to maintain physical distance from other
people so that the spread of coronavirus can be minimized as much as possible but being isolated
from other people can possibly increase the adverse effects on our mental health. This can
possibly cause a variety of symptoms such as, depression, anxiety and feeling of loneliness. A
study in the past has cited that people who have been isolated and kept away from social
interaction, started showing improper sleep cycles, decreased interest in any sort of self-care,
feelings of sadness, aggressive behaviours and unalignment with their daily routines. This
indicates the importance of communication, social connectivity and belongingness in people’s
lives. You might be surprised to know that feelings of loneliness can harm your physical health
too. People who stress out too much, have negative emotions and anxiety, are more susceptible
to weaken their immune system.
This study is in regards to know and discover what is the effects of Social Isolation on the
Mental Health of Senior High School students in Malasiqui Catholic School in the New normal.
Why I chose the word effect in my title instead of impact?
It is because Social Isolation is not an influential action but it is an action that having positive or
adverse effects to the mental health or even in physical health of people too. In addition to this,
the particular reason why I choose to study the effects of Social isolation is to know whether it is
helpful or harmful to the mental health of this students. And also, I choose Senior High school
students as my target audience because as one of them, I know that both Grade 11 and Grade 12
students are the one who have many responsibilities not just in our studies or in academic
performances but also in our home such as doing a house chores and some of us have younger
siblings to take care of, to help and teach them in their studies as well. So I want to know if these
factors affect their Mental health because of the new normal.
Goals and objectives:
1. To find out if it can help or harm the mental health of this students if they have no interaction
with other people.
2. This study will help us to know if Social Isolation has dangerous effects for the health of
Senior High School students like me.
3. This study will serve for everyone to realize that interpersonal communication or interaction
with others are very important for their lives.
