SINGAPORE — A significant proportion of youth in Singapore has experienced severe or very severe symptoms of depression, anxiety or stress, the first nationwide survey on youth mental health by the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) found. Nearly a third of young people aged 15 to 35 reported symptoms that included feeling empty, tense or upset most of the time, according to the National Youth Mental Health Study. «Navigating the complexities of youth is challenging enough, but young people today are grappling with unique issues that previous generations did not,» said Associate Professor Swapna Verma, who chairs IMH's medical board and was co-principal investigator of the study. «For instance, social media exposes them to constant comparisons, intensifying concerns about body image. »The anonymity of the online world has also given rise to cyber bullying, which adds a new dimension of harassment that can be relentless and far-reaching."

Grabbing their peers' posteriors for a laugh, vandalising school and public properties, vaping and brawling were allegedly par for the course for the teens in the 2023 bullying video that has been making the rounds. In the TikTok video that was uploaded on Sept 15 but has since been removed, at least five teenagers who appear to be wearing Bukit View Secondary School uniform are seen surrounding a smaller boy with a backpack at the void deck of a Housing Board flat. The teens appear to be laughing at the boy before one of them grabs the his backpack and kicks him in the back, sending him sprawling to the ground. Unfortunately, the bullying seen in the video was allegedly common for the teens in the video. «They would even threaten or insult the teachers,» their ex-schoolmate told TNP. «They also got into fights outside school and bullied others in real life as well as online, sending sexually explicit stickers over WhatsApp.» Although he felt sorry for the victims, the teen who was in the same cohort as the bullies was too scared to intervene.
