Abstract
Many individuals consider adolescence to be a period of transition from childhood to adulthood, as well as a period of significant personal development. The maintenance of one's mental health during the adolescent years is of the utmost importance. It is common knowledge that students face significant obstacles with regard to their mental health throughout their academic careers. There are a number of potential reasons, including the challenges of doing well in school, the challenges of going through puberty, the challenges of navigating daily life, the challenges of developing and maintaining friendships, and other external pressures. The research and comparison of this study was driven by the adolescents' own self-reported mental health as the primary factor. Consequently, one hundred adolescents from a variety of Jamshedpur area schools came together for this purpose. The Mental Health Battery (2008), which was developed by Singh and Sengupta, was used in order to assess the mental health of the group of participants. The 't' test was used in order to determine whether or not there was a statistically significant difference between the means of the two groups. According to the statistics, there was a discernible disparity in the mental health conditions of male and female students in educational institutions. In terms of mental health, women were found to be in better shape than males. The students of our country, who will one day be its most valuable resource, need a strategy that is both all-encompassing and coordinated across all sectors in order to guarantee their mental health.
