In addition, high school students may be reluctant to seek mental health support as this is influenced by a lack of awareness of mental health issues, stigma, limited resources for mental health support, and lack of awareness of the mental health support resources and facilities available (Williams et al., 2021). As a result, high school students develop their coping mechanisms, and instead of helping them, they are further affected, and their mental health is put at risk. Some coping mechanisms include withdrawal, engaging in risky behaviors such as alcohol consumption and drug abuse, and sexual behaviors to get relief (Williams et al., 2021).
