Abstract:

Due to the global pandemic, academics have moved online, provoking mixed reactions from students. Some perceive online learning as a challenge that might improve learning. Others view it as a bad pain that could impair their mental health. Understanding student well-being and its causes is essential for establishing future preparedness plans as mental health illnesses become more common. Student mental health is a major concern in teenage studies. This study examines how online learning influences students’ mental health. Primary data surveys targeted ninth-through- through tenth-graders. The global pandemic has forced school closures, replacing traditional teaching with online learning. This expanded examination examines research findings and online students’ mental health. Many online students are exhausted by emotional changes to new daily schedules, social disengagement, virtual learning settings, sleep disruptions, heavy workloads, and increased sadness, anxiety, nervousness, and stress. Online learning may harm students’ physical, mental, emotional, and social health as mental prosperity issues become more widespread. This study highlights student difficulties and the need for comprehensive solutions to mitigate the psychological impact of online education. The growing social concern for students' psychological well-being requires critical study and action to determine the future of education.
