Conclusion: By means of the deep analysis carried out, it can be concluded that, all people have been affected by the pandemic , however the population that suffered the most has been the adolescents, due to the fact that they have had to adapt to the mechanism established to stop the contagion of COVID-19, thus leaving aside the daily activities that they previously performed how to attend classes in person, interact with other people and attend public spaces or events ,as a result in the future of these young people can generate a series of emotional disorders , since adolescence is a fundamental and crucial stage for the development of social habits.
