The researchers also aim to discover how these challenges affect the mental health of these Senior Highschool students, and how they cope with these challenges. The researchers have chosen this topic because of the new challenges brought by the Covid-19 virus, which includes the new normal that everyone is going through, especially students who have struggles learning in this new normal. The researchers have researched and analyzed topics related to students, mental health, and living in this new normal. The researchers used survey questionnaires and distributed them to a certain number of Senior Highschool students who are studying in school in Tacloban City. After data gathering, the researchers have carefully analyzed and understood the results of their survey by grouping the common concerns the Senior Highschool students have, how these concerns affect them, and how they handle these concerns. It is shown that this new learning normal has affected the Senior Highschool students, physically, mentally, and academically. Most of the challenges that students have encountered are lack of devices, slow internet connection, having difficulty adjusting to the new normal, and time management with the amount of tasks they have. Because of these, the students struggle to catch up with their academics, lose motivation, and endanger their mental wellbeing. Most of these students handle these struggles by having coping mechanisms, such as better time management, finding alternatives, and seeking support. While we?re going through a pandemic, there are a lot of new concerns and challenges that we are yet to discover and this research aims to discuss a few of those new concerns.
