INTRODUCTION:
Over the years, the development of the society and technology gives us
more and more ways to enjoy life and thus, the ‘curious minds’ of teenagers
whose undergoing the process of adolenscents engages in a more and more
diversed lifestyle as they grew curious to the things around them. Susan Engle,
Author of The Hungry Mind: The Origins of Curiousity in Childhood, defines
curiousity as “The urge to explain the unexpected”. The curiousity is a natural trait
of us humans and a good drive to have if you are a scientist, or an inventor. But
when you are a member of adolenscents and your drive of curiousity extends to
what state does the mind get when you’re high in drugs or how does it feel to
drink alchohol then that certainly is bad.
Based on study of The Science of Adolescent Risk-Taking: Workshop Report
(2011). the Adolescents are prone to be influenced by their environment and as
curiousity get a hold of them, they have this the drive to be fearless to try the
new.
The result of a research article of a survey written by Waris Qidwai,

Adolescent lifestyle and behavior: A Survey from a Developing Country; shows that
most of the lifestyle engaged by the adolescents are adopted to their
environment that mostly are leading to an unhealthy lifestyle, that could lead to
serve implications and one of those is eating disorder while there is no real and
direct cause of eating disorder; genes, environment and unhealthy lifestyle all
played a role in having eating disorder.
Based on the study conducted by the National alliance on the Mental illness
(NAMI) 1 out of 20 people will be affected with eating disorder at some point of
their lives, prone to this are adolescents especially senior highschool students
who are directly affeted by the trends.
This research study aims to determine the pros and cons in the lifestyle of
senior highschool students of IMDII, listing down and create a graphical
representation showing the factors that affects the mental health of the student
subjects and by making it as a reference, would then list down the pros and cons
in the lifestyle of the SHS students of IMDII and their affects to their health and if
would it cause eating disorder.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
Senior high school level is the level where the adolescents is the most
sensitive and active as this is the stage where they would develop and adopt their
lifestyles and where they would metamorph from being young to being a young
adults. This is the stage they would be full of vigor and drive, eager to discover
and try new things out. That is why this is also the level where the number of
cases of eating disorder grows sharply.
Eating disorder is a serious medical illness marked by severe disturbance to

a person’s eating behaviours, prone to this are those stressed out people with
poor health defences like the senior high school students who are the bloodline of
our country, they are the future generation of professionals thus their health is
important and should be payed more attention to specially, now that online class
is the used platforms to teach students as based on the new finds on the survey
conducted by YouGov (March 25, 2020) and BestColleges, the stressed level of
the students increased dramatically as the COVID-19 hits the country. The
increase on the work load and the high demand of comprehenssion needed to
have just to understand the module takes toll on the students. External
distractions, pressure, coupled by their unhealthy lifestyle makes them more
vulnerable to eating disorder that affects not only physically but also
psychologically.
