Keywords: Covid-19 pandemic, Psychological Response, Adolescent, Mental Health, Impact INTRODUCTION The covid-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-Cov2) is an unprecedented disease with a tremendous impact on all of humanity with long-term consequences that still need to be uncovered (Dragun et al., 2021). Adolescents may be more vulnerable than adults to mental health problems, especially during quarantine, as they are in a transitional phase from growing up in close-knit families to wider social networks with the increasing importance of peers who struggle with them, often with fragile self-esteem (Neural and Behavioral Signatures of Social Evaluation and Adaptation in Childhood and Adolescence: The Leiden Consortium on Individual Development (L-CID), 2020). Due to the high potential for infection and disease mortality, psychological events, especially in adolescents, also tend to be high (Qi et al., 2020). During this period, poor mental health can jeopardize adolescent development and future potential (Wambua et al., 2018). Therefore, more attention to adolescents' mental health is very important during this crisis. Globally, there are 103,201,340 confirmed cases of covid-19, including 2,237,636 deaths reported to WHO.
