An original questionnaire for high school students was developed during the study of the influence of the geopolitical situation on the psycho-emotional state of 13-17-year-olds in the Belgorod region. The sample consisted of 153 students in grades 9-11.</p> <p>153 high school students were surveyed; 88 (57.5%) of them were girls and 65 (42.5%) boys: 13 years old (3.3%), 14 years old (20.3%), 15 years old (17.6%), 16 years old (30.7%), 17 years old (28.1%).</p> <p>Research results: the questionnaire was offered online to 20 schools in Belgorod, of which 15 educational institutions participated in the survey.</p> <p>Since the end of December 2023, Belgorod has been repeatedly subjected to massive terrorist attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and we decided to ask high school students how and why their quality of life has changed</p> <p>Figure 1.

Neutral emotions (calmness, indifference) During the alarm, dangers prevail among high school students who are at home, at school or on the street near a shelter, which is explained by their awareness of the algorithms of actions in such situations implemented at all educational levels by the government of the Belgorod region.

The majority (49%) do not experience emotions such as panic and fear when being shelled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces if they are close to shelters.</p> <p>We would like to express our gratitude to Vyacheslav Vladimirovich Gladkov, Governor of the Belgorod Region, Andrey Aleksandrovich Ikonnikov, Minister of Health of the Belgorod Region, and Andrey Viktorovich Milekhin, Minister of Education of the Belgorod Region.</p>stresspsychoemotional reactionsadolescentsquestionnaireстресспсихоэмоциональные реакцииподросткианкетирование<p>Relevance. Since December 2023, the territory of the Belgorod region has been subjected to massive terrorist attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), which affects the physical and mental health of residents of all age categories. An increased level of terrorist danger has been introduced in Belgorod and the Belgorod Region, and educational institutions operate in a remote or mixed format.

The risk of loss of loved ones, loss of housing and material security indicates a lack of basic needs and suggests a prolonged nature of traumatic stress reactions, due to which students' learning and cognitive motivation decreases and the risks of maladaptation of students increase [1,2].The main psychological consequences of a child living in a difficult life situation that creates long-term stress are</p>1.Панич, О.
