MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN MIDDLE
AND LATE ADOLESCENCE
BEGIN!
Mental health. It’s the way your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect your
life. Good mental health leads to positive self-image and in-turn, satisfying
relationships with friends and others. Having good mental health helps you make
good decisions and deal with life’s challenges at home, work, or school.
It is not uncommon for teenagers to develop problems with their mental
health. Problems can range from mild to severe, and can include depression,
anxiety, body esteem issues, and suicide, among others.
Often however, young people ignore mental health problems thinking they will
“snap out of it,” or that they are something to be ashamed of. That kind of thinking
prevents people from getting the help they need. Sometimes getting help is a matter
of understanding mental health.
TRY THIS!
TASK 1: Instructions: Identify what is asked or described in each item. Write the
letter of the correct answer on your journal.

Self-care activities are the things you do to maintain good health and
improve well-being. You’ll find that many of these activities are things you already
do as part of your normal routine.

performing different self-care activities. The goal of this assessment is to help you

life that need more attention.

We all like to help others. But, when it comes to mental health, what steps
can we take to support ourselves?
Psychological research has revealed a range of approaches that can help you stay
mentally healthy and make the most out of your life.
5. Be kind to yourself
Treat yourself with the same kindness, concern and support you’d show a
good friend facing struggles. Rather than reproaching yourself, recognize that life is
full of mistakes and inadequacies. This is the essence of self-compassion, which
fosters resilience in the face of adversity.
7
Remember, delaying treatment or dropping out too early can make recovery
slower. What’s more, other problems can creep in, such as relationship problems,
issues with work, and other stresses. So, don’t delay. If there is seem to be a
problem, see your doctor or look for a psychologist with experience in addressing
your issues.
Here are some strategies for supporting someone with mental health concerns:
• Encourage the person to seek help and support from an adult.
• Spend time with the person, listen to his/her concerns.
• Be hopeful; help them feel like their life will get better.
• Stand by them. Invite your friend to things that you are doing; keeping busy
and staying in touch with friends will help your friend feel better, when they
are ready.
• Learn as much as you can about mental illness so that you understand what
is going on for them.
• If you are a close friend or family member of someone with a mental health
problem, make sure that you get help as well. Talk to someone about what is
happening. This will help you be a better support person.
• Put the person’s life before your friendship. If the person mentions thoughts
of suicide, don’t keep it secret, even if the person has asked you to.

Pretend that you are Abby. Write an answer to the letter writer “Tired at School”
Dear Abby,
I fell asleep in class today – once again! When I go to bed at night, I just can’t
seem to fall asleep. I lie in bed for hours and it doesn’t seem to make a
difference. When I wake up in the morning, I feel like I don’t want to get up and go to
school. This is the time that I could really sleep. I wish that school didn’t start until
10:00 a.m.
Please help me out! Give me some ideas on how I could get a better sleep,
so Mr. Gomez doesn’t get upset that I fall asleep in his class.
