my mom and uncle DIED from covid. and not only them, millions of people died. did you know? i spiraled into depression not being able to see the people i love and losing them. covid ruined me, it ruined many people. the fact that people want this AGAIN is sickening. edit: thank you to everyone in the replies.
the only thing i liked about the lockdown was being able to be a hermit in my own home without people judging me. and yet... *gasp* I DON'T WANT ANOTHER ONE!
This is disgusting how many people romanticize the first lockdown. They don’t realize the very real struggles that people went through, all the way from depression to losing jobs to losing lives! I’m also attending college in the fall as well as dorming there, so it would be AWFUL if any of that got taken away from me because of a lockdown. It’s not cheap to go where I am going.
Especially because several people I know, including myself, didn’t get their tuitions lowered despite the circumstances! These colleges were charging the same prices for a lesser quality education since so many teachers weren’t qualified to teach online!
I was 12 years old. I had just started middle school. I felt very lonely and bored, and 1 thing after another kept happening, and I wasn't ready to handle it all at once. When I went back to school for the first time in almost a year, everything changed, and things didn't get better until I started high school in 2022
They’ve forgotten what it was like to go through a lockdown, and if it happens again best believe these same people will be complaining about it pretty quickly
To be fair, not everyone has the same life as you. There are pros and cons and depending on your life and personality, it can be a pro, but I'm not going to judge them for it. Perhaps you're mistaking celebrating the lockdown vs celebrating the virus. Personally I would like it if people in general, was less reliant being physically at work (which helps the environment and helps disabled employees) and for people to keep their 1 metre distance away from each other. I don't have enough people caring about if they die or not, those that I do care are pretty damn resilient anyway but I won't be sad if they go because unlike others, death to me is just a phase of life and it'll come to us all.
Me, an introvert, LOVED lockdown... for like a month. Online school was so unimaginably crushing, it ruined my way to socialize, I became such a lazy person, I longed to go back outside, and I was at my absolute lowest. I would NEVER wish for that to happen again 😟
I wish I never encounter online learning again. It is proven that Online learning can cause severe psychological and mental health damage. Depression, psychosis, anxiety. I was so freaking lazy at the time, that I would do google meets either in the dining room or my bedroom, AND I COULDN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! I never want online learning ever again.
This makes me litterally sick. My father was in a nursinghome, he had dementia. I could NOT visit him. He fell ill, i could NOT sit at his bedside. Then he died....ALONE!!!! This hurts me more than i can say....
I couldn't handle the first Pandemic, It ruined me mentally, physically and emotionally, I became a sad sack, I was dreading the next day cause I was so miserable in the house not seeing my friends, I couldn't see any of my friends for 2 years, These influencers are the stupidest brainless people that need a reality check!!!
I mean, I'm introvert and talking to me friends through discord is kinda enough, as long as I can have food ordered to im house I'm chill, tho the parties and spending time in person really is a great thing but not something I can't live without
@@MidnightSakura368 I suffered from selective mutism as a child and seriously it came back during the pandemic and i still struggle with it and i'm almost 27 it's horrible.
Covid took the last 2 years of Elementary school and the first year of Middle school. I still can’t get my mental health back up. I can’t be stuck indoors for my HS years. I need to graduate, man. Gen Z is getting old fast, and if I’m stuck indoors for the last 3 years. I’m personally just going to therapy for 2 years. Have you ever had Childhood trauma? This pandemic sets an example of what it was like to have Childhood trauma.
@@ThomasPlays2024covid took my last year of high school. The year that you look forward to your entire school life. I never went to prom, never had my all night senior grad party, barely anyone of my friends came to my graduation party, the only ones who came was my best friend and my ex boyfriend who I had a mutual breakup with and one of my favorite high school teachers. Otherwise it was just people in my family or people from church my parents invited.
My cousin was only 8 at the time of the first lockdown. She says she doesn't even remember anything pre or during covid, and recalls the whole situation as a "depressing blur". Do you think she found that "kinda fun"? Hell no.
But alot of people had died...... Edit: it was a little fun for me until modules happend so uh It's kinda upsetting I get it why people did not like school because of stress,getting bullied, LOTS OF HOME WORK etc. 😭 @@watermelon2223✨
I do know two people that enjoyed the lockdowns. What they had in common was that both had a large house and garden, a partner with a stable job and fairly high income, and were glad to not have to drive their kids to multiple hobbies as usual, and they did not have parents that needed care.
Yeah, I feel like you have to be so privileged to enjoy something like a pandemic. It's like when rich people think crazy stuff about lower class problems but the modern-day version.
also People with Lower Immune system ARE SUPER VULNREABLE to MPOX, and the fact that these tiktokers don't even care about their Immune system is sorta insane Edit:You also need to behave yourself to survive the MPOX Virus But if u accidentally get MPOX virus make sure u have good Immune system and also enable yellow light on Phones or PC when online school might begin, I will make a tutorial on how to enable yellow light on laptop or phone prob soon Idk
If they didn’t give a shit during COVID, it’s unsurprising that they wouldn’t care now. They’re more focused on the idea of another few months of hanging out with their “quaranteam besties!!!” than they are about exposing already compromised people to another disease.
People whom "enjoyed" "Lockdown 2020", "Quarantine 2020" whatever you want to call it, were just children at the time. It was these kid's mom and pops and older sibs whom understood the ramifications of the pandemic and the loss of jobs or what the psychological effects felt like from the year of our lives. But on the plus side, NEW YEARS EVE felt so dang hopeful. 💗
I was a kid during covid, and yes, I enjoyed the unlimited games. But then I realised: no travelling to see your extended family (they live in a different country)! I also remember in 2022 during some Autumn camp thar my mum organised some kid told me to go outside because my mum was crying on the bench. One of her closest friends passed away from covid, and he didn't tell anyone until it was too late because he didn't want to bother them. I never want to see my mum like that again, it was genuinly heartbreaking.
Online classes nearly robbed me of being able to graduate. I had hybrid classes my senior year. They over-enrolled students in so many online classes that after the cut off for class changes, they kicked out many students from the online classes. I was kicked out of ALL of my online classes, leaving me with not enough credits to graduate. If it wasn't for the one kind AP teacher in my school, I would not have been able to graduate. She offered her study classes that were exclusively for AP students to everyone who got kicked out of online classes, which allowed me and I'm sure many other students a chance at getting those missing credits. I am forever grateful for her generosity because without her I would have been held back a year. I would never wish for anyone to go through the pain I did during that time.
oh my gosh im so sorry for you. it really is wrong what people want. i was NINE and depressed during covid (sorry, i know that makes me sound young. im 13! :))
@@Gracieee691thankful to see that there are still some sane people my age 😭 (i doubt i had it as bad as you did but it still sucked and i never want to go through that again)
I do not wanna go back to online school, I’m just going into high school, I can’t spend my high school days in front of a screen. I had everything planned out and online school will ruin everything.
I agree! i spent my teen life in lockdown and I am graduating HS this year! God got us out of the first lockdown, I am not prepared for a second where I have to graduate over a zoom meeting.
I think I know what these Tiktok users really want. The internet back in 2020-2022. They don't really want another lockdown, they just want to see the internet like how it was in 2020-2022. They are nostalgic for certain elements of the internet back in 2020-2022.
Exactly 😭😭😭 I dont want a lockdown, I just miss calling my friends and playing roblox all day - but another lockdown would NOT BRING THAT BACK! It would just be endless boredom fear etc and... IM STARTING KIND OF LIKE A... LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL BUT IM NOT IN AMERICA- AND YKNOW WHATS FUNNY? LAST LOCKDOWN I STARTED ON ANEW SCHOOL 6TH GRADE AND IT WAS TERRIBLE! W
They just don't want to deal with the unnecessarily shit society forces on them. The dealing of crowding, having to waste time listening to teachers basically recite to them their own assignment that's written clearly and unambigiously in their assignment description, dealing with travel requirements to go to their jobs etc, desling with societal tyranny of bullying and being targetted at work and school etc.
WARNING: I’m very young, mention of losing loved ones, and su!cide I was freshly in 4th grade when the COVID lockdown started, so maybe 9 or 10. And it was one of the most traumatic moments of my life watching one of my friends pass away from it. Because of my ADHD and Bipolar disorder (which made me very extroverted) being so isolated made me severely depressed. Especially since I got my first phone around the Christmas of the lockdown being on social media like TikTok made things a lot worse. I almost died from a su!cide attempt when I was almost 11. Even though I’m 13 now and healing from all of it, I still think about the fact that if COVID never happened I would’ve been able to continue being happy.
I hope your continuing to heal up kiddo remember now you got the rest of your life to look forward to enjoy your teens 🫂 Best wishes and prayers to you
I hated lockdown. I lost one of my big graduations and was stripped from my friends. I hated it. I feel into deep depression and couldn’t even get up from bed. Through school I’ve meet some many great people that if I was stripped from them, I wouldn’t be able to do anything with joy. I wouldn’t be able to see my horse, and lord, I can’t do that to myself nor him. People need to know how to be sane. Like holy cow this is insane. Monkey Pox is a real threat, but I am confident that WHO and countries together are working to keep everyone safe and help try to stop spreading. May everyone stay safe from the disease and from the crazy people.
Can't lie, I enjoyed lockdown. I'm autistic, and was able to make my routine fully stable and didn't have to be in crowds and didn't have to socialise much. Living the dream for me. But I would NOT want it to happen again, because so many people died! Just because I enjoyed it doesn't mean I want people to DIE.
feeling the exact same way. autistic as well and actually had one of the calmest periods of my life to date but in the same token both of my grandparents were hospitalized and bedridden off it and it was super scary. ppl r just literally way too selfish when they say this stuff
Same here. Lockdown started at the end of my junior year and I was a hybrid student for my senior year. I managed to fix my sleep schedule and recover from the years of sleep deprivation middle/high school put me through, but I definitely don't want to do it again. It was so lonely and boring, and I feel awful for anyone who lost family during that time.
Same. It was actually detrimental for me. On the few occasions I was ready to push myself and venture out, I couldn't. And that's only how it affected me. 7 billion other people were in worse shape than me. My boyfriend is an essential worker and he was working 16 hour shifts. An hour commute each way. We'd go days without even talking because our sleep/work schedules. I'm immuno comprised so he was always so worried about bringing COVID home (or worse because he works with immigration and Lord only knows what he gets exposed to) he'd strip at the door, take his clothes outside and shower while I sprayed rubbing alcohol on everything he touched. Went both ended up getting it twice. He was vaccinated. I wasn't. We were sick for about five days. The headache was the worst of it for me but I'm prone to migraines. Swine flu was worse for me (I wanted to die.) It was literally killing others though. No one should be looking forward to that shit again.
I was young back then but I was sent to a covid lockdown facility, my mother had just given birth to my little sister and living there was NOT comfy at all, we we're in the middle of nowhere isolated in a building with other people and medical staff but I couldn't go out anywhere and it was sickening, it makes me physically gag at how people are excited for another scenario.
I am someone who always had stress problems since very young, and when lockdown happend, online school was stressing me out so much, i was lost and could barely follow anything bc teachers themselves didn't know what they were doing. It's gonna be my second year of highschool and i do not want to do it behind a screen, this is gonna raise my anxiety to 100.
@@Ruby...X same here, I was unable to focus on literally anything and would spend hours a day on my computer doing everything but actually listen in class, and then feel super guilty and stressed at the end of the day. I remember on the first day of online school , I literally burst into tears and cried for hours because I wasn't familiar with Microsoft Word. I know it sounds funny now, but I remember feeling super overwhelmed and lost. I was just in 5th grade. I definitely don't want to go through all that again.
I just started high school. Lockdown was during my last year of elementary. 2020 turned me from an outgoing social sassy child into an insecure, introverted, afraid to speak up teenager. I do not want another lockdown.
@str7b3rry_leyley Same here. I have a clear memory of my mom trying to get me to play with other kids on a playground (I was in 5th grade- I'm entering my first year of high school), and I remember being TERRIFIED to play with them. I never want to experience another lockdown ever again in my life.
Definitely don’t want another lockdown. The 2020 pandemic also started on my last year of elementary and I was just starting to make friends again because of something that happened with my previous friendship, but the lockdown and the pandemic did not help whatsoever. Now, I’m in my junior year of high school, going to 12th grade next year and because of the pandemic, I’m not as talkative or as confident as I probably was before it happened. Now.. with the possibility of another lockdown coming.. I don’t even want to know what that could do.. 😖
From what I read, there isn't that much to worry. We already have a vaccine for mpox, we know how to treat it and the virus itself is not as easily transmittable as the one responsible for the lockdown.
I was primed my entire school life for the grand 11th grade exam and prom. All I got was a few papers to fill up for my diploma and a video call that I couldn't even be fucked to attend, and a recorded message about better times coming. I was never passionate about those things, but the way they were taken away was in itself upsetting...
I don’t want another lockdown… This is especially because I am very young and do not want to live some of my prime years of my life learning from a computer screen. Honestly how are y’all happy about this.
I have ANXIETY worse now, from the time of writing this, I'm shaking so bad, and I'm abt to cry, not only the virus being scary, but the fact that I'll basically be IMPRISONED again in my home is horrifying especially when I was only 7-8 years old when lockdown 1 occurred, and now a second one? What is this? A horror movie!? TikTok, SHUT UP ABT THIS IT IS SO SCARY TO SO MANY OF US!!!!!!
It’s frustrating and concerning to see how many people are neglecting basic health precautions, especially given the current spread of illnesses. As someone who is 18 and battling cancer, my immune system is compromised, and if I contract an illness while neutropenic, it could be fatal. The carelessness of others, like not wearing masks, puts people like me at serious risk. What’s even more disheartening is seeing children out in public visibly sick, spreading germs, while their parents seem indifferent. It’s upsetting to witness the lack of consideration and responsibility in our society. Many young people seem more absorbed in their phones and social media than in the real-world consequences of their actions. I would give anything to be healthy and able to go out freely, yet the disregard for public health measures makes it nearly impossible for those of us who are vulnerable. This situation highlights a broader issue: the apathy and carelessness of some individuals, particularly during a public health crisis, can have severe and even life-threatening impacts on others.
Seriously, the real indication is the globalist neoliberals in power has been oppressing all of us with their inhumane policies and "human rights" since the end of the Cold War.
as someone with severe anxiety and terrified of germs, i never want this to happen. the look of monkeypox alone makes me want to vomit. like dude, the first lockdown was bad enough, i dont want another one.
@@DeliciousBoi primarily yes, but the virus can survive for a short time on surfaces and be passed through close contact including face to face. Talking to and breathing close to one another.
Lockdown stole my sophomore and junior year of high school. It killed my social skills. Sure, I excelled in online learning, but it killed me not being able to see my friends, do theater, or show my animals at fair. I was lucky that I was able to go back to school my senior year and actually have my prom, graduation, and all other senior things. Other people didn't get that. I can't go into lockdown again. I love college. I can't lose out on those experiences for the second time in my life.
i lost a year in uni due to lockdown. thankfully it wasn’t my first year and i was near the end of my studies. it was horrible tho and i’ll probably delete myself if we have another global lockdown.
I couldn't have a good graduation in 8th grade and almost failed my freshman year thanks to covid I'm about to go to college soon and I would hate for lockdown to happen it's fucking insane people would want lockdown again
Sorry artificial intelligence will replace the social jobs. Learn to use trade skills to make money. Sorry the future sucks and the feds aren’t there to help you only to control you.
If ANOTHER lockdown happens... I would LITERALLY cry for weeks, stuck in my house all day, staring at screens, knowing damn well that there are thousands if not MILLIONS of people across the globe dying. Humanity is never gonna get any better.... Will it?...
as a gen alpha, I’m so happy I was only in elementary school during Covid, that was already so damaging for me. I don’t understand why anyone would want to be in lockdown again.
exactly i was lucky enough to be in 3rd grade when it happened but WHY ARE PEOPLE WANTING THIS DEPRESSING LOCKDOWN ALL OVER AGAIN WHAT THE ACTUAL... lets just say that online school was never fun and i wouldnt put that torture on my worst enemy
My brother was born in 2015, he thought covid was a made up thing, now he’s turning 9 years old on October 24 on this year, he never knew that lockdowns were this bad, now he’s the scaredest person I’ve seen, he is an introvert, but he loves going out and is such a Germaphobe (idk how that’s how u spell it) now after this second lockdown, times gonnna be 10x faster.. but the only good thing about online class is there’s no bullied that hurt you physically.
6:44 I mean I enjoyed it. But I’m an introverted autistic who played ark all day. I enjoyed wearing masks. I didn’t have to fake my facial expression. I wore masks for 2 years after COVID because I enjoyed it. But I also hated covid. I hated the fear it caused. I hated online class. I can not focus on online class. I just played video games during classes.
I started wearing masks before covid even started due to asthma then had to constantly wear one everywhere even at home during covid. After covid, even though my asthma isn’t as severe, I still wear one because I’m so used to it. It’s like a sense of comfort for me now. What im tryna say is that you shouldn’t care what others will say about you. If you wanna wear a mask, just wear one. When people ask me why I still wear one, I just tell them I want to. But same. I hated the lockdown too. I only liked the mask part of it, but I hate everything else about it. I feel like I went through actual brainrot. I’m dumber now. My attention span sucks.
Yea I didn’t focus at all when i had online classes it was very hard for me even in irl its a bit hard to focus in school so in online classes I also played video games
Whoever glorified the possibilities of another lockdown has forgotten those who were very severely traumatized during the first one. We all don't deserve to go through this again.
4:20 I agree. Last lockdown, many Gen Alpha such as the 2013-2014 timeline had their KINDERGARTEN to Pre-K years taken from them in the covid period. The same timeline are now almost pre-teens, so as anyone could imagine they could have their own pre-teen years taken from them aswell. Meaning they didn’t only get one youth period taken, such as those who went into lockdown in their teenage years, but they’ll get 2 very crucial periods of their lives taken too.
Even people older than that, my age, have been disrespectful from too much social media during the lockdown. It sucks having a rude class and I’m scared for it in my new school.
your point here is right, but the kindergarten thing is wrong. 2013 was 7 years old and 2014 was 6 so that would be like 1st and 2nd grade which i think is even worse 😨
Being 11 when the second lockdown started, I lost the end of primary school and start of secondary school. It was so annoying, trying to remember what happened in primary school I can only remember from when I was 4-7. It sucks, my potential nostalgia was ruined.
My youngest was 12 when the lockdowns occurred. Online schooling was a hellscape for him. I had to get him therapy once the lockdowns ended and THAT was difficult because the child psychologists were OVERBOOKED due to the mental health strain on the kids from lockdown. They had waaaay more patients than normal because of them. I was finally able to find someone for him and am happy to report that he is doing so much better now and will finally be discharged with a once a year check in to make sure he's still okay. I don't want him to go through that again. Some of these kids went through literal hell during the first lockdown. People are insane if they're looking forward to it.
Finding out about this lockdown is bringing me to tears, because the first lockdown was the start of my homeschooling life. And that was the most miserable 5 years of my life. Now, my mom finally let me back into public school and I find out I might not even be able to go? I hate everyone excited for this with a burning passion
dont cry over something that `knock on wood` will never happen. and most schools were back open by september 2020, so the homeschooling was your parents` rules, not the general society rules.
i really hope monkeypox doesnt make a lockdown, i have a waterpark trip to great wolf lodge for my BIRTHDAY planned that i have been excited for for so long and i would actually start bawling my eyes out if another lockdown happened.
Honestly, the thought of another lockdown genuinely scares me. When lockdown started I was at the ripe age of 7-8, that was when I got depressed. I’m going to be 13 soon, and the thought of going through that again genuinely terrifies me…
I agree. I’m 14 and i’m so grateful i was a kid, but i can’t believe this is happening again. That they’re going to take so many years off of our life :(
This! I'm 14, starting high school for the first time. I got into many hard to get special programs and I'm actually looking forward to a year for once, after the last few hellish years. For once, I dont want this taken away. I dont wanna go back to rotting in my room and not being able to do my academy courses! If this was middle school, then yea I'd be hyped, take me away from this boring hell, but for once I'm actually looking forward to a year... I really don't want this. Online school already destroyed me and my 5th grade year, and I don't want it again
YES! As an extroverted 9 year old, I was so depressed during lockdown. I would literally set up board games and play with myself, pretending my friends were there. I had imaginary conversations, "Hello Rosie, I'm so excited to go to the waterpark tomorrow!", I'd say to my wall, though Rosie didn't exist and the waterpark was closed and dry. Now I'm 13 years old and I've finally started figuring myself and the world out. I've made tons of amazing friends and I can barely stand not seeing them for a few weeks, let alone 2 years!
I'm a Gen Z and I so agree with you!!! I HATED THE LOCKDOWN, my mental health was at its all-time worst, I was so convinced that we would never leave the house in my lifetime. Yes, that might be a little bit dramatic, but I was a young teenager at the time. I am now in college and I seriously don't want to go through that again, it took me a while and it still does to make friends. Whoever says that they want a "Lockdown 2.0" generally baffles me because that makes no fucking sense! I already suffered through one like everybody else, and I think I can speak for the majority, hopefully all of others, that we do not need another one!
Gen alpha here. Am i genuinely the only one who is perfectly fine with school? I dont like school but i seriously don't wanna sit down on a computer, and awkwardly stare there while my family members listen to everything (they purposely sit down on the couch and listen to the teacher. And the reason why i dont do it in my room is because I dont have one. I sleep in a giant room with my siblings and 2 grandmas. I hate the fact that its so uncomfortable because they can see you when you screw up) I know that in person school will suck because ill get made fun of from my classmates.(I hate them so much) But its at least better than staying in your house for another long time!
For you, it's fine. For other kids who just want to get the work and DREAM of skipping the middlemen (the teachers) and the things that come with them such as school draama, bullying, travel etc. and have figured that they can self-teach themselves this crap and if they need clarification, they just email the teacher OR reddit, school looks really redundant.
Imagine not being in high school yet or not being a junior LLL lmfao suck to be u at least I am a junior in high school LLLLLLLLLLLL have fun being in lock down for probably the rest of the time ur in school LOL 😂 🤣 at least the only time I experience lockdown was only when I was in 7th grade LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL and I was 12 suck 2 b u
I'm a young gen z, I was 11 turning 12 in March 2020. Those years were not any fun and I was miserable in online classes, I got middle school taken away. We don't need everyone more socially deprived than they already are
One of my uncles lost his job because of the lockdown in 2020. Cut to four years later and he still doesn't have a new one. And he never will, given that he's above fifty years old. Businesses in my country tend not to hire people over fifty even if they have been consistently working all their lives. My uncle's employment is now a sore point and none of my family members ever bring it up. And some people want the lockdowns to _return_ ? Why?! So millions can lose their jobs, education and lives again?
Are these people serious? MILLIONS upon millions died from that outbreak, and they want to have a second one? I was just 9 in that outbreak, and I feared of losing my family and friends. It was neither who got it, but I GOT IT. Let me tell you this, but it was the worst 2 weeks of my life. I kept coughing and sneezing, got like 3-4 hours of sleep, it was terrible. I couldn't go out except for the toilet, I was practically ISOLATED for the 2 weeks. I was crying thinking 'I was going to die' and thankfully I didn't, but those two weeks were hell for me. And now these people are celebrating the fact there will be another outbreak just kills me in the inside.
I might sound overdramatic for this, but I genuinely can’t go back into lockdown. I can’t. I love going to school in person, and I love hanging out with my friends. I love going outside. I love doing things in person. I can’t go back into lockdown and into depression. I genuinely can’t. I’m gonna lose my mind.
I feel you. During lockdown my family drove me crazy and I can’t handle that again. I love my family but it was chaos of us driving each other crazy. I don’t think I can mentally handle that again. I might end up exploding at them and I don’t want to do that. If another lockdown happens then it’s very possible that I will explode and maybe say some things that go too far bc my emotions would be going crazy
@@Gobbler. True if it does it likely won’t be for as long. I do fear that the anti vaxer groups will cause some issues with less ppl getting the vaccine. If it does happen then that could cause it to be longer than anticipated. Hopefully it wouldn’t be as long as the first lockdown but I do fear it could still become kinda long due to some stubborn and stupid people.
During lockdown i might fell into depression. I was in bed the whole year, i only went outside of my room to eat, i didn't had a phone yet so i just slept constantly
It’s frustrating and concerning to see how many people are neglecting basic health precautions, especially given the current spread of illnesses. As someone who is 18 and battling cancer, my immune system is compromised, and if I contract an illness while neutropenic, it could be fatal. The carelessness of others, like not wearing masks, puts people like me at serious risk.
if the lockdown comes back, i dont think ill be able to hold it together, im extroverted and i feel horrible when im alone for too long. i used to cry myself to sleep in 2020 because of how lonely i felt, i never want to go back to quarantine and lockdowns again. i wanna go to school again, ive been looking forward to school so much. i cannot function without school because it is how i remember to shower, eat, drink, and clean.
Even as a introvert, I need some type of social interaction??? Being locked down for years while I wasn't completely aware of it it the reason I still struggle with suicide today.
Even as an introvert I hated lockdown being introverted does not being alone all the time it means preferring it more than often but also enjoying talking to others
in one day i have seen 10 slideshows of 2024 lockdown....WITH STANLY CUPS AND OTHER "preppy" THINGS.... DO KIDS REALLY THINK LOCKDOWN WAS FUN I HATED IT 😭😭
@@aisiszoe3945why tho? U just sit in house and you don't have to interact with anyone in person What is the better excuse to not talk to people in person which is scary, than that, just chill on dsc call all day with friends and what can you need more
The suicide line is very personal to me. In April of 2020 we were 1 month into lockdown here in the states and my oldest attempted to end his own life by down an entire bottle of pills. I sat in the hospital with 17 year old for days making sure he stayed alive. I do not want to relive that again. I will say, I am an introvert, I prefer to be at home, I honestly didn’t have a problem being at home and working from home during the lockdowns, but I know Gen Z had a difficult time with it because you are correct. The most important parts of a teens life were ripped away because of the lockdowns. I don’t want to see this happen again to anyone.
Also can we talk about the fact the DV went up MASSIVELY in lockdown because abusers could get away with it so much easier when no one’s allowed to leave their house
I’m 15 now and my first few years as a preteen were robbed of me because of lockdown. What should’ve been a carefree time in my life where I was beginning to figure myself and my hobbies out and prepare for middle school was turned into a soul-crushing spiral of depression and trauma. I like to image I’m better equipped now but the idea of that happening again is TERRIFYING.
Same i cant described how much this relates to me! Ive lost friends ships, grades were at a all time low and even got D's and F's even tho im a straight A/B student, staying up at the AM hours trying to finish the pile of hw the teachers would give us, and cried a couple times because of pandemic I DONT WANT A REPEAT OF THIS AGAIN!
Same, I think it also made me less social, though so when I actually entered Middle I had no friends cause I was stuck in my shell. Along with the added fact of going on my phone and literally falling asleep in online classes and getting low grades, I can't fathom why people would actually WANT or be EXCITED for another lockdown 😔
Honestly, I really don’t want another lockdown. I’m starting high school this year and covid already took away part of middle school for me and my last year of elementary. I remember never getting work done, failing my classes, getting distracted, I gained a lot of weight (managed to get rid of it post covid tho), I felt isolated, and honestly thought I was becoming depressed. I literally got covid 4 times and had to get quarantined in my room for 2 WEEKS every time I got it. It was miserable. I didn’t mind missing middle school, but high school is the last years of school for me and I’m finally back with my elementary friends after 3 years of being apart from them. I really just want to experience being a highschooler before another depressing pandemic begins, please please please WHO don’t do this.. Edit: I also lost a ton of friends because of the pandemic, a lot of them either going virtual (I was going to a different middle school which means I wasn’t going to see them until high school) or moving to different countries. I felt like I had my childhood somewhat stripped away because of this pandemic, and I can’t even imagine what the littler kids had to deal with. But of course, the WHO doesn’t care that they’re screwing with peoples lives.
@@beeling4974me too. everyone has told me that high school would be some of the best years of my life and im looking forward to it. ive waited years for this and im not letting some stupid hoax the WHO spews stopping me from being a teenager.
God we’re literally twins. It was so bad that my friend (since 1st grade) and i didn’t recognize each other until we spoke up in the first few days of 6th grade. We’re still friends till this day going into highschool but god..
As someone who spent their whole senior year in covid, i can personally say, it sucked. And now with all the hobbies I've picked up and memories I've made with them, i don't wanna go back into lockdown. As much as i don't like people, i still have friends i wanna see, gatherings i wanna go to, and go shopping in actual stores. Plus, being stuck inside would also suck for my doggo. He likes playdates, the occasional pup cup, and my grandparents. Cant do that in a lockdown. Edit: Just wanna say, I have like over 1000 hours of Fortnite played on my switch just because Covid. The moment everything started opening back up, i haven't touched it since. Brings back bad memories.
I don't think I will either honestly. I couldn't handle the first one, I doubt I'd be able to make it through it there was 2nd one that people are soooo excited for apparently.
WHAAAAAAAAAATTTT?!?!?! (I wasn't a teenager in 2020 but I hated a LOT and would never want to be in that year again, neither would I want to experience anything similar to it)
Same here, I was like around 6-8 years old (kid) when covid started! Like I was terrified if covid would be cured and if everyone would be safe and able to go out again... and now we might go through this... AGAIN?!?!
I was in 1st grade during Covid and missed half of kindergarten and had to wear a mask for the first few months of second grade. now I’m going to sixth grade next year and I did not wanna miss it. This is sick.
I can’t do online school again. I just can’t. I can’t be alone for years again. When I did online schooling I went from a straight A student to FAILING 4/6 of my classes and I still am now only a C-B grade student. I didn’t learn anything and I lost all motivation to do anything. Please, this can’t happen again.
Online classes makes me lack motivation too. On top of that, the school issued laptops don’t work on my home WiFi. They go slower than the immortal snail. Sure next year I’m getting a MacBook but still
This! I was an A student before I transferred to online school. And surely enough, IT. WAS. HELL. I got sidetracked a lot, my grades dropped, my mental health got worse, my relationship with my parents got rocky, to the point where we would have yelling matches EVERY DAY. I had a lot of suicidal thoughts and even thought how I was going to die. So I hate how people romanticize lockdown, because I genuinely love going to in-person school, and I would be so sad if we had a lockdown for the rest of my sophomore semester.
@@VampireBloodlustt that exactly how I felt and what all happened over lockdown for me. God it was so fucking bad. And if this Mpox shit happens I won’t know what to do. ESPECIALLY if I catch Mpox as I’m a chronic skin picker
COVID was terrible for me, a childless 40something with a good job and home. I can't imagine how devastating it would be for a teenager, especially one graduating during it.
i graduated in 2020. let me tell you, it was easily one of the most depressing things in my damn life :| my graduation was my parents driving the car through my school's track field while a very select few teachers waved goodbye and then i never saw any of them again.
@@halley8105i graduated from high school in 2019 and i’m so grateful that i ended that phase of my life normally. however, i started college until august 2020, so i felt like the world stole some solid years of freedom, the crazier ones at that. i missed the phase of being adult enough to be a little careless and have less responsabilities, and went straight into the full on adult world. i still feel stuck at 19.
My friend passed away early 2020 before the lockdowns. We weren't able to have a funeral for him because of the lockdown. Some people have zero ability to think about anything outside of themselves...
The lockdown made me so mentally unstable it changed me COMPLETELY. I became lazy and incompetent and irritant. I absolutely do not want another lockdown for my sake AND EVERYONE'S.
I was about 9 when COVID put us in lockdown. And it completely destroyed my life. I was in a constant state of paranoia and anxiety, which I couldn't even relive by taking a walk or playing at the park. I missed my friends, I missed the park, I missed living. Everyday more people would get infected, more people would die, and I was deadly afraid of becoming one of them. I know a few people who lost family to COVID. Lockdown wasn't fun or trendy, and the 'fun' we *did* have was a futile attempt to ignore the literal apocalypse outside. But yay no school!!
it's also hilarious to me that people think that it would take so long for teachers to get back on their feet this time. like 90% of teachers have already done this. its going to not be "we don't know what to do, you guys have no school", people are just going to immediately start online school again 🤦♀️
0:03 noo bcuz why did that go out on my birthday😭 AND BRO IM LITERALLY GOING TO A COMIC CON IN A FEW DAYS LIKE WHYY (OMG THIS IS THE MOST LIKES IVE GOTTEN THANK U :3)
This is insane, how could ANYONE want to go through that again. I litterally started a depressive episode at 11 that still persists to this day because of the stupid lockdown! I don't think these people realise how many people's mental health degraded during that time... Like, sure, at first, not going back to school sounds fun, but don't they remember how we used to learn NOTHING?
Exactly, sure my mental health was bad already but I could kind of manage it, during lockdown it got so much worse and still hasn't gone back to a manageable level, I became even more terrified of almost everything, and there was times I was worried we wouldn't be able to get what we needed that week because people kept panic buying and hording everything! I remember staying up late crying because I was terrified of what tomorrow would bring and becoming more introverted.. I hate when people say "Ohh I can't wait for another lockdown!!!2221111" or "but but but lockdown was fuuuunnnnn!!!!!!!" NO! NO IT WASN'T!
Same, I don’t remember learning anything at the years of lockdown. Online class was so boring and I felt locked in. The first chance I got I went back to school in person (and got a terrible teacher, I was in special ed) which made things worse. Not only that but I lost social skills to the point where I couldn’t even hold a conversation for more than 20 seconds. I’m getting better, I don’t want that progress reverted because of a second pandemic.
In my grandpa's last few days of passing away in hospital, I couldn't visit him as I was under 16 and covid restrictions. I could have had so much more time with him, and it was agonising to sit at home not being able to see him.
As a person who enjoyed their time in quarantine, I never want to live through that ever again. I don’t want to fear for my life when walking outside. I just regained my confidence and social skills, I don’t need to loose them again.
It’s frustrating and concerning to see how many people are neglecting basic health precautions, especially given the current spread of illnesses. As someone who is 18 and battling cancer, my immune system is compromised, and if I contract an illness while neutropenic, it could be fatal. The carelessness of others, like not wearing masks, puts people like me at serious risk.
Dude, Gen alpha got hit massively hard because they couldn’t go to physical school until 2022. Do you know why they can’t read, write, etc? BECAUSE OF COVID!!! COVID affected their elementary school childhood, COVID AFFECTED THEIR LEARNING CAPABILITIES! Therefore, they couldn’t do much but use electronics to learn. Gen alpha could have been a really good generation if COVID didn’t get in the way.
i genuinely dont understand how anyone could be "excited" or something that literally devastated MILLIONS of people. knowing that i might not go back into school after my first week of middle school with no way of contacting the new people ive met is so upsetting.
The idea of another lock down terrifies me. I worked in grocery retail during Covid and still do I couldn’t do another lockdown again. It was brutal emotionally, physically and mentally experiencing the worst of humanity in the worst of times.
i hated lockdown. school used to be my only escape until lockdown happened and i was stuck at home with my abusive parents and crippling depression. i over ate and spent all my time sleeping or online, it was honestly hell. i learnt nothing, my grades dropped and i didnt even know my times tables bc i js wasnt learning anything. as a "gen alpha" (im 14 turning 15 next year) i might not have the right to speak in this situation but lockdown had a massive toll on my mental health, and even now its still affecting me. i honestly hope we dont go back into lockdown bc it will be hell. bonus story: i got pushed over and stood on by multiple people in a massive crowd inside coles while trying to buy toilet paper with my family
2020 was such an awful year, as someone who’s part of gen alpha having to grow up during lockdown probably stunted my social skills a lot. Not to mention my first exposure to racism as a Chinese person. They were such miserable years as a Chinese-American, a child, a student, just a person in general!!
I’m SO sorry you went through all of that. It must’ve been hard on you and your family. No one deserves that kind of treatment. I hope things are better for you, just know there are people out there who care about your well-being and if you are going through something like this tell your parents or a trusted adult, don’t keep it all in.
Anyone can be an introvert, you don’t need lockdown to stay at home and do what you please. Believe me, im all about watching true crime documentaries in my pjs on the couch. I’m glad that you brought up the human element. As a nurse during COVID who watched people die alone, one after the other, watch their heart rate go to 0 on the tele monitor, it’s pretty dehumanizing to wish for another pandemic 😞
This is definitely mostly young kids who were in elementary or early middle school/junior high during quarantine who didn’t have to worry about anything and didn’t realize how horrible it actually is.
@@AnnaPuppyfish I was in 7th grade when lockdown happened in 2020, I honestly really loved it, I was really shy and had literally no friends, had no responsibilities, and rarely went out. But now as an upcoming Junior, my life turned around, I have friends, I actually do stuff, I also work a part time job, I'm realizing how awful another lockdown would be, I would literally lose everything and be stuck at home. I would honestly not be able to handle that now unlike when I was in 7th grade.
Personally, for me lockdown was a much needed break from interacting with other people, especially after my terrible experiences with bullying. THAT BEING SAID, I would still not wish for another lockdown, not only because of how it affected other people, but also I'm pretty sure it stunted the growth of my peers.
Agreed. Staying home for months didn’t hurt ME at all, but a lot of people were hurt (and many lost) during that time, and I can’t imagine wishing a repeat on humanity, let alone publicly celebrating the idea of a mass outbreak.
I have epilepsy. Staying in front of the laptop/phone is REALLY bad for me. My parents had to BEG my school to let me do hybrid lessons. They agreed after A YEAR. The year was really hard for me, feeling drained was normal. I’m especially scared of the lockdown and not being able to see my favorite artist because they will have a break for TWO YEARS, and it’s their last concert. I’m genuinely scared, since I don’t have a lot of ppl to talk to, and it’s hard to get through it.
I stopped caring about my health in 2020 and still struggle to break that habit 4 years later. I need to get out of the house every once in a while because of my ADHD and autism,I get restless staying in the house doing nothing
I have ADHD and it helped my understanding of myself but at the same time I fuckin hated the isolation since I was suffering with (undiagnosed) schizophrenia and it was absolutely shitty
2:49 For like a month or two I had online school, not even video calls but instead they sent pdf files with your lessons. I hated it. Then, when I finally got into sixth grade, we had two groups in a class, one went to school three times a week, the other only two and then reverse. That was first semester, second was normal. Now, I don't remembered if it was seventh or eighth grade when we had to go to teacher's classrooms instead of them ours again, but that was brought back.

5:00 my great gran passed away on the 19th of March 2020, and her funeral was on the 1st of April. The only people who were allowed to be there were my mum, my mum’s brother and sister and my grandad. They weren’t allowed to bring flowers for her and had to social distance. My grandad was so heartbroken, and my mum couldn’t go and give him a hug. My brother and I had to sit in the car and afterwards my mum told me all of that and I felt so bad for them. 💔
i have autism and social anxiety, and even I DON'T WANT ANOTHER LOCK DOWN. i currently still do online school, so getting out of the house for ANYTHING AT ALL is a must. i don't wanna be trapped again. :,)

Lost my teenage years to Covid ,got it 4 times lost my sense of smell massively still to this day and I wasn’t allowed to see my great grandad before he passed away. But yeah can’t wait for lockdown 2!!
i was a senior in high school when covid hit. i didn't get a graduation, a prom, a final summer vacation with my friends before we parted ways for school, or a final state solo & ensemble (concert band competition). this year, i had the opportunity to play with my college's band for the graduation ceremony. i could barely hold myself together long enough to play, i was a sobbing mess by the time we were done because it was my first time seeing a REAL graduation ceremony since before covid, the one i was robbed of by a life threatening pandemic out of my control. seeing people WANT this back makes my blood boil.
Government control robbed you of those experiences, not a pandemic. I get that you are young, please listen, it's an important lesson for your generation to learn.
Yeah....no. I worked retail as an essential employee during the first lockdown and THAT was more than enough. The amount of verbal abuse people would throw at the mere suggestion to mask up back then was insanity. And worse, we couldn't actually police it even if we wanted to. I work a different job now but I'm almost positive it's also gonna be considered essential. I do not wanna go through that again. :/
Me to, it was awful. I would only want to work in retail again if my very life depends on it. I Had nice customers, scum and a lot in between those two.
as a gen alpha, our education was put back so much, I mean COVID-19 started when I was in first grade and now I am in sixth. They also have to realize that COVID doesn’t leave Prominent scars and injuries on your body. (I mean it did, but not in the way monkeypox does.) I wasn’t able to make emotional connections with my teachers and other peers. The only time there was was when we were out of quarantine and we were able to speak to each other. The only good thing was that I still got to keep Halloween, thanks to my uncle buying us candy
Thank you. I basically HAD TO skip Year 2 because of lockdown. Online Lessons were horrible because not everyone had devices, and I kept on getting distracted.
@@mypeeisred24 Thank you for your sympathy. Not a lot of people are like you they just laugh and make jokes about us "hahah skibidi toilet sephora kid". You have my respect!
@@DJOpaltavioI was in 3-4 grade then. It felt horrible bc I couldn’t even see my friends and play with them back then. I’m going to 7th =) I’m chill with most Gen alphas, but not the rude ones 😭.
As someone who has experienced COVID and been hospitalized for at least 6 months because of it, all I have to say to those people are get help, there is no reason for a want to be sick for at the minimum of 2 weeks with monkey pox or COVID. And if we do get another lockdown, why would you not want to be able to do anything like going out with friends or being mask free while in public like do you all really want no sleep just so you can stay up playing games all night.
I remember how devastated my cousin was that she didn't get to go to her Senior prom because of Covid, she missed her first prom because her mother passed away just a few days before it and her Senior prom she was planning on going in honor of her mom since she never got to go to prom due to being a high-school drop out. I really don't see how some people could want to go back to times like that, where bits of our childhoods were stripped away from us and such. 😕
There are literally hundreds of people who killed themself due to the loneliness! Who wants to go through that again?! There are hundreds of studies that show the negative effect on loneliness on our brain
This is crazy as a person who’s gen alpha. The lockdown made me lonely and affected my mental health and worsened my eyesight due to the long amount of hours in front of a screen for online school. And I couldn’t even attend my elementary graduation due to being sick with Covid. I can’t imagine having to go through that again in the future :(
I'm just now realizing that I wasn't able to have my elementary school graduation either because I was in like the end of 3rd grade when it started and 4th grade during it, so I never got to attend mine either. And people want this crap again..? I'm going into 8th grade this year, I don't want to be locked inside..
@@Estella_alsoknownasgabi123me too. i wasnt able to have a graduation, but our teacher saw us as her own kids so she still gave us a little letter about how she’ll miss us and a small pin of our schools mascot. i miss her. she and these two guys i befriended were the only ones that got me through the last year of elementary when covid was at its peak.
As someone who loves friends and family to a HUGE degree, the lockdown made me miss them to a level i never had before, i did not see my long beach family for nearly a year, constanlty worried for my at risk family, and even missed so many important birthdays for aunts, uncles, granparents and cousins. It was hell for me
10:08 when you mentions the rates, I remember there were atleast 48,000+ deaths alone in 2021. I CANNOT start high school on online school, my grades were absolutely terrible even though I was a straight A student.
Another lockdown sounds TERRIFYING. It’s been like 2 years but I’m only just getting my social skills back, I seriously do not want another lockdown it was probably the most draining and stressful time of my life
AND not to mention old people would probably be on their own again, my grandma was all on her own with her dog for the whole of lockdown, it was so terrifying because our only communication with her was calls and texts, i seriously don’t want to be constantly worrying about her and my family because of another lockdown
I just turned 14 a month ago and another lockdown SCARES me so much. My older sister had her teenage years stripped away from her and I dont want that to happen to me too
my mom and uncle DIED from covid. and not only them, millions of people died. did you know? i spiraled into depression not being able to see the people i love and losing them. covid ruined me, it ruined many people. the fact that people want this AGAIN is sickening.

EXACTLY
Exactly!
SAMMEEEEEE
RIGHT
Same!
This is disgusting how many people romanticize the first lockdown. They don’t realize the very real struggles that people went through, all the way from depression to losing jobs to losing lives! I’m also attending college in the fall as well as dorming there, so it would be AWFUL if any of that got taken away from me because of a lockdown. It’s not cheap to go where I am going.
Especially because several people I know, including myself, didn’t get their tuitions lowered despite the circumstances! These colleges were charging the same prices for a lesser quality education since so many teachers weren’t qualified to teach online!
I was 12 years old. I had just started middle school. I felt very lonely and bored, and 1 thing after another kept happening, and I wasn't ready to handle it all at once. When I went back to school for the first time in almost a year, everything changed, and things didn't get better until I started high school in 2022
They’ve forgotten what it was like to go through a lockdown, and if it happens again best believe these same people will be complaining about it pretty quickly
To be fair, not everyone has the same life as you. There are pros and cons and depending on your life and personality, it can be a pro, but I'm not going to judge them for it. Perhaps you're mistaking celebrating the lockdown vs celebrating the virus. Personally I would like it if people in general, was less reliant being physically at work (which helps the environment and helps disabled employees) and for people to keep their 1 metre distance away from each other. I don't have enough people caring about if they die or not, those that I do care are pretty damn resilient anyway but I won't be sad if they go because unlike others, death to me is just a phase of life and it'll come to us all.
I’m going to college to and I agree
Me, an introvert, LOVED lockdown... for like a month. Online school was so unimaginably crushing, it ruined my way to socialize, I became such a lazy person, I longed to go back outside, and I was at my absolute lowest. I would NEVER wish for that to happen again 😟
me too i would eat in class and just play games on another monitor 🙏
I was also an introvert but I liked when people talked around me.
Me too I hope it doesn’t happen or I would js worry for my family atp I cannot
I wish I never encounter online learning again. It is proven that Online learning can cause severe psychological and mental health damage. Depression, psychosis, anxiety.
I was so freaking lazy at the time, that I would do google meets either in the dining room or my bedroom, AND I COULDN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!
I never want online learning ever again.

They should all do us a favor and stay at home locking themselves in if they are so excited about it.
If they didn’t give a shit during COVID, it’s unsurprising that they wouldn’t care now. They’re more focused on the idea of another few months of hanging out with their “quaranteam besties!!!” than they are about exposing already compromised people to another disease.
You mean gay people. Only gays can get mpox stop being brainwashed by the ✡️s
I have so many allergies so my immune system is TERRIBLE! Im staying home 😭😭
People whom "enjoyed" "Lockdown 2020", "Quarantine 2020" whatever you want to call it, were just children at the time. It was these kid's mom and pops and older sibs whom understood the ramifications of the pandemic and the loss of jobs or what the psychological effects felt like from the year of our lives. But on the plus side, NEW YEARS EVE felt so dang hopeful. 💗
I was a kid during covid, and yes, I enjoyed the unlimited games. But then I realised: no travelling to see your extended family (they live in a different country)! I also remember in 2022 during some Autumn camp thar my mum organised some kid told me to go outside because my mum was crying on the bench. One of her closest friends passed away from covid, and he didn't tell anyone until it was too late because he didn't want to bother them. I never want to see my mum like that again, it was genuinly heartbreaking.
I turned 31 in 2020 and I enjoyed the lockdown from start to finish 😐 I feel bad for people who didn't, though.
Online classes nearly robbed me of being able to graduate. I had hybrid classes my senior year. They over-enrolled students in so many online classes that after the cut off for class changes, they kicked out many students from the online classes. I was kicked out of ALL of my online classes, leaving me with not enough credits to graduate. If it wasn't for the one kind AP teacher in my school, I would not have been able to graduate. She offered her study classes that were exclusively for AP students to everyone who got kicked out of online classes, which allowed me and I'm sure many other students a chance at getting those missing credits. I am forever grateful for her generosity because without her I would have been held back a year. I would never wish for anyone to go through the pain I did during that time.

WARNING: I’m very young, mention of losing loved ones, and su!cide
I was freshly in 4th grade when the COVID lockdown started, so maybe 9 or 10. And it was one of the most traumatic moments of my life watching one of my friends pass away from it. Because of my ADHD and Bipolar disorder (which made me very extroverted) being so isolated made me severely depressed. Especially since I got my first phone around the Christmas of the lockdown being on social media like TikTok made things a lot worse. I almost died from a su!cide attempt when I was almost 11. Even though I’m 13 now and healing from all of it, I still think about the fact that if COVID never happened I would’ve been able to continue being happy.
I hope your continuing to heal up kiddo remember now you got the rest of your life to look forward to enjoy your teens 🫂 Best wishes and prayers to you

I’m so sorry I hope you are so much better virtual hugs
I hated lockdown. I lost one of my big graduations and was stripped from my friends. I hated it. I feel into deep depression and couldn’t even get up from bed. Through school I’ve meet some many great people that if I was stripped from them, I wouldn’t be able to do anything with joy. I wouldn’t be able to see my horse, and lord, I can’t do that to myself nor him. People need to know how to be sane. Like holy cow this is insane.
Monkey Pox is a real threat, but I am confident that WHO and countries together are working to keep everyone safe and help try to stop spreading.
May everyone stay safe from the disease and from the crazy people.
Can't lie, I enjoyed lockdown. I'm autistic, and was able to make my routine fully stable and didn't have to be in crowds and didn't have to socialise much. Living the dream for me. But I would NOT want it to happen again, because so many people died! Just because I enjoyed it doesn't mean I want people to DIE.
Exactly, honestly if it was possible to do again without ANYONE getting hurt or sick, I’d love to but that’s not reality.
me too my sigma
feeling the exact same way. autistic as well and actually had one of the calmest periods of my life to date but in the same token both of my grandparents were hospitalized and bedridden off it and it was super scary. ppl r just literally way too selfish when they say this stuff
Same here. Lockdown started at the end of my junior year and I was a hybrid student for my senior year. I managed to fix my sleep schedule and recover from the years of sleep deprivation middle/high school put me through, but I definitely don't want to do it again. It was so lonely and boring, and I feel awful for anyone who lost family during that time.
Same. It was actually detrimental for me. On the few occasions I was ready to push myself and venture out, I couldn't. And that's only how it affected me. 7 billion other people were in worse shape than me.
My boyfriend is an essential worker and he was working 16 hour shifts. An hour commute each way. We'd go days without even talking because our sleep/work schedules. I'm immuno comprised so he was always so worried about bringing COVID home (or worse because he works with immigration and Lord only knows what he gets exposed to) he'd strip at the door, take his clothes outside and shower while I sprayed rubbing alcohol on everything he touched. Went both ended up getting it twice. He was vaccinated. I wasn't. We were sick for about five days. The headache was the worst of it for me but I'm prone to migraines. Swine flu was worse for me (I wanted to die.) It was literally killing others though. No one should be looking forward to that shit again.
I was young back then but I was sent to a covid lockdown facility, my mother had just given birth to my little sister and living there was NOT comfy at all, we we're in the middle of nowhere isolated in a building with other people and medical staff but I couldn't go out anywhere and it was sickening, it makes me physically gag at how people are excited for another scenario.
I was 12 when lockdown happen
My goodness I am so sorry you had to go through that😭 I hope life gets easier for you love💓
I am someone who always had stress problems since very young, and when lockdown happend, online school was stressing me out so much, i was lost and could barely follow anything bc teachers themselves didn't know what they were doing. It's gonna be my second year of highschool and i do not want to do it behind a screen, this is gonna raise my anxiety to 100.
@@Ruby...X same here, I was unable to focus on literally anything and would spend hours a day on my computer doing everything but actually listen in class, and then feel super guilty and stressed at the end of the day.

I just started high school. Lockdown was during my last year of elementary. 2020 turned me from an outgoing social sassy child into an insecure, introverted, afraid to speak up teenager. I do not want another lockdown.
Similar thing happened here
@str7b3rry_leyley
Same here. I have a clear memory of my mom trying to get me to play with other kids on a playground (I was in 5th grade- I'm entering my first year of high school), and I remember being TERRIFIED to play with them. I never want to experience another lockdown ever again in my life.
Definitely don’t want another lockdown. The 2020 pandemic also started on my last year of elementary and I was just starting to make friends again because of something that happened with my previous friendship, but the lockdown and the pandemic did not help whatsoever. Now, I’m in my junior year of high school, going to 12th grade next year and because of the pandemic, I’m not as talkative or as confident as I probably was before it happened. Now.. with the possibility of another lockdown coming.. I don’t even want to know what that could do.. 😖
Me too buddy me too....... and I am still trying to did myself out if the hole I am in.....
Glad I ain’t the only one, only difference is I was always more quiet, the lockdown just made it worst
I dont know if I could take it, I just moved in to an apartment, I'll be completely alone aside from my dog. This news is devistating to me

Sorry, keep on keeping on! Hope for the best! ❤
From what I read, there isn't that much to worry. We already have a vaccine for mpox, we know how to treat it and the virus itself is not as easily transmittable as the one responsible for the lockdown.
I lost three years of my middle school during the lockdown, and people are excited for a second one..? Oh god..
I was primed my entire school life for the grand 11th grade exam and prom.
All I got was a few papers to fill up for my diploma and a video call that I couldn't even be fucked to attend, and a recorded message about better times coming.
I was never passionate about those things, but the way they were taken away was in itself upsetting...
I don’t want another lockdown… This is especially because I am very young and do not want to live some of my prime years of my life learning from a computer screen. Honestly how are y’all happy about this.

What is this? A horror movie!? TikTok, SHUT UP ABT THIS IT IS SO SCARY TO SO MANY OF US!!!!!!
It’s frustrating and concerning to see how many people are neglecting basic health precautions, especially given the current spread of illnesses. As someone who is 18 and battling cancer, my immune system is compromised, and if I contract an illness while neutropenic, it could be fatal. The carelessness of others, like not wearing masks, puts people like me at serious risk.
What’s even more disheartening is seeing children out in public visibly sick, spreading germs, while their parents seem indifferent. It’s upsetting to witness the lack of consideration and responsibility in our society. Many young people seem more absorbed in their phones and social media than in the real-world consequences of their actions. I would give anything to be healthy and able to go out freely, yet the disregard for public health measures makes it nearly impossible for those of us who are vulnerable.
This situation highlights a broader issue: the apathy and carelessness of some individuals, particularly during a public health crisis, can have severe and even life-threatening impacts on others.

Lockdown stole my sophomore and junior year of high school. It killed my social skills. Sure, I excelled in online learning, but it killed me not being able to see my friends, do theater, or show my animals at fair. I was lucky that I was able to go back to school my senior year and actually have my prom, graduation, and all other senior things. Other people didn't get that. I can't go into lockdown again. I love college. I can't lose out on those experiences for the second time in my life.
i lost a year in uni due to lockdown. thankfully it wasn’t my first year and i was near the end of my studies. it was horrible tho and i’ll probably delete myself if we have another global lockdown.
I couldn't have a good graduation in 8th grade and almost failed my freshman year thanks to covid I'm about to go to college soon and I would hate for lockdown to happen it's fucking insane people would want lockdown again
My cousin was a senior when covid hit. Luckily, his graduation was in-person, but the audience was all on Zoom.
Sorry artificial intelligence will replace the social jobs. Learn to use trade skills to make money. Sorry the future sucks and the feds aren’t there to help you only to control you.

I just played video games during classes.

After covid, even though my asthma isn’t as severe, I still wear one because I’m so used to it. It’s like a sense of comfort for me now. What im tryna say is that you shouldn’t care what others will say about you. If you wanna wear a mask, just wear one. When people ask me why I still wear one, I just tell them I want to.
But same. I hated the lockdown too. I only liked the mask part of it, but I hate everything else about it. I feel like I went through actual brainrot. I’m dumber now. My attention span sucks.

Whoever glorified the possibilities of another lockdown has forgotten those who were very severely traumatized during the first one. We all don't deserve to go through this again.
Ok but we’ll have to. We will have to lock down because if not more people will die
4:20 I agree. Last lockdown, many Gen Alpha such as the 2013-2014 timeline had their KINDERGARTEN to Pre-K years taken from them in the covid period. The same timeline are now almost pre-teens, so as anyone could imagine they could have their own pre-teen years taken from them aswell. Meaning they didn’t only get one youth period taken, such as those who went into lockdown in their teenage years, but they’ll get 2 very crucial periods of their lives taken too.
Even people older than that, my age, have been disrespectful from too much social media during the lockdown. It sucks having a rude class and I’m scared for it in my new school.
your point here is right, but the kindergarten thing is wrong. 2013 was 7 years old and 2014 was 6 so that would be like 1st and 2nd grade which i think is even worse 😨
Also after 2020 (when there was a lockdown) some people are just saying things have gotten worse since then
As a 2013, nobody was in kindergarten at 7 lmao
Being 11 when the second lockdown started, I lost the end of primary school and start of secondary school. It was so annoying, trying to remember what happened in primary school I can only remember from when I was 4-7. It sucks, my potential nostalgia was ruined.
My youngest was 12 when the lockdowns occurred. Online schooling was a hellscape for him. I had to get him therapy once the lockdowns ended and THAT was difficult because the child psychologists were OVERBOOKED due to the mental health strain on the kids from lockdown. They had waaaay more patients than normal because of them. I was finally able to find someone for him and am happy to report that he is doing so much better now and will finally be discharged with a once a year check in to make sure he's still okay. I don't want him to go through that again. Some of these kids went through literal hell during the first lockdown. People are insane if they're looking forward to it.
This is so unfair i dont wanna be locked down
Finding out about this lockdown is bringing me to tears, because the first lockdown was the start of my homeschooling life. And that was the most miserable 5 years of my life.
Now, my mom finally let me back into public school and I find out I might not even be able to go? I hate everyone excited for this with a burning passion
dont cry over something that `knock on wood` will never happen. and most schools were back open by september 2020, so the homeschooling was your parents` rules, not the general society rules.
@@garconerproduction3046 I know, but if the lockdown didn't happen at all, my mom wouldn't have started homeschooling me in the first place

It's not a certain lockdown, but it could turn into one if they don't place a travel ban NOW.
Honestly, the thought of another lockdown genuinely scares me. When lockdown started I was at the ripe age of 7-8, that was when I got depressed. I’m going to be 13 soon, and the thought of going through that again genuinely terrifies me…
I agree. I’m 14 and i’m so grateful i was a kid, but i can’t believe this is happening again. That they’re going to take so many years off of our life :(
This! I'm 14, starting high school for the first time. I got into many hard to get special programs and I'm actually looking forward to a year for once, after the last few hellish years. For once, I dont want this taken away. I dont wanna go back to rotting in my room and not being able to do my academy courses! If this was middle school, then yea I'd be hyped, take me away from this boring hell, but for once I'm actually looking forward to a year... I really don't want this. Online school already destroyed me and my 5th grade year, and I don't want it again
I’m the exact same as you, but I don’t know if I should be worried about another lockdown 😭
YES! As an extroverted 9 year old, I was so depressed during lockdown. I would literally set up board games and play with myself, pretending my friends were there. I had imaginary conversations, "Hello Rosie, I'm so excited to go to the waterpark tomorrow!", I'd say to my wall, though Rosie didn't exist and the waterpark was closed and dry. Now I'm 13 years old and I've finally started figuring myself and the world out. I've made tons of amazing friends and I can barely stand not seeing them for a few weeks, let alone 2 years!

One of my uncles lost his job because of the lockdown in 2020. Cut to four years later and he still doesn't have a new one. And he never will, given that he's above fifty years old. Businesses in my country tend not to hire people over fifty even if they have been consistently working all their lives. My uncle's employment is now a sore point and none of my family members ever bring it up. And some people want the lockdowns to _return_ ? Why?! So millions can lose their jobs, education and lives again?
Are these people serious? MILLIONS upon millions died from that outbreak, and they want to have a second one? I was just 9 in that outbreak, and I feared of losing my family and friends. It was neither who got it, but I GOT IT. Let me tell you this, but it was the worst 2 weeks of my life. I kept coughing and sneezing, got like 3-4 hours of sleep, it was terrible. I couldn't go out except for the toilet, I was practically ISOLATED for the 2 weeks. I was crying thinking 'I was going to die' and thankfully I didn't, but those two weeks were hell for me. And now these people are celebrating the fact there will be another outbreak just kills me in the inside.

If another lockdown happens then it’s very possible that I will explode and maybe say some things that go too far bc my emotions would be going crazy
@@Gobbler. True if it does it likely won’t be for as long. I do fear that the anti vaxer groups will cause some issues with less ppl getting the vaccine.

Ive lost friends ships, grades were at a all time low and even got D's and F's even tho im a straight A/B student, staying up at the AM hours trying to finish the pile of hw the teachers would give us, and cried a couple times because of pandemic I DONT WANT A REPEAT OF THIS AGAIN!
Similar, except I’m 12!
Same, I think it also made me less social, though so when I actually entered Middle I had no friends cause I was stuck in my shell. Along with the added fact of going on my phone and literally falling asleep in online classes and getting low grades, I can't fathom why people would actually WANT or be EXCITED for another lockdown 😔
I'm 13 and i hope it doesnt happen..
Why tf are they exited the lockdown ruined peoples lifes
Some people literally made the most 💰 of their Lives because other people were captives in their own houses, forced mostly to watch videos.
It honestly is the only reason i'm okay rn.
i gotta say they are pretty uneducated
My social skills were absolutely shattered
Lockdown made my mental health better
Honestly, I really don’t want another lockdown. I’m starting high school this year and covid already took away part of middle school for me and my last year of elementary. I remember never getting work done, failing my classes, getting distracted, I gained a lot of weight (managed to get rid of it post covid tho), I felt isolated, and honestly thought I was becoming depressed. I literally got covid 4 times and had to get quarantined in my room for 2 WEEKS every time I got it. It was miserable. I didn’t mind missing middle school, but high school is the last years of school for me and I’m finally back with my elementary friends after 3 years of being apart from them. I really just want to experience being a highschooler before another depressing pandemic begins, please please please WHO don’t do this..
Edit: I also lost a ton of friends because of the pandemic, a lot of them either going virtual (I was going to a different middle school which means I wasn’t going to see them until high school) or moving to different countries. I felt like I had my childhood somewhat stripped away because of this pandemic, and I can’t even imagine what the littler kids had to deal with. But of course, the WHO doesn’t care that they’re screwing with peoples lives.
SAMEEEEE
thats almost what i said in my comment, it was hell
The same happened to me, and I desperatly want to finish high school in PERSON. I don't get how anyone would want another lockdown
@@beeling4974me too. everyone has told me that high school would be some of the best years of my life and im looking forward to it. ive waited years for this and im not letting some stupid hoax the WHO spews stopping me from being a teenager.
God we’re literally twins. It was so bad that my friend (since 1st grade) and i didn’t recognize each other until we spoke up in the first few days of 6th grade. We’re still friends till this day going into highschool but god..
As someone who spent their whole senior year in covid, i can personally say, it sucked. And now with all the hobbies I've picked up and memories I've made with them, i don't wanna go back into lockdown. As much as i don't like people, i still have friends i wanna see, gatherings i wanna go to, and go shopping in actual stores. Plus, being stuck inside would also suck for my doggo. He likes playdates, the occasional pup cup, and my grandparents. Cant do that in a lockdown.
Edit: Just wanna say, I have like over 1000 hours of Fortnite played on my switch just because Covid. The moment everything started opening back up, i haven't touched it since. Brings back bad memories.
I don’t think I’ll be able to mentally nor physically handle another lockdown
I don't think I will either honestly. I couldn't handle the first one, I doubt I'd be able to make it through it there was 2nd one that people are soooo excited for apparently.
WHAAAAAAAAAATTTT?!?!?! (I wasn't a teenager in 2020 but I hated a LOT and would never want to be in that year again, neither would I want to experience anything similar to it)
I was a fully grown 27 year old in 2020 and I could barely handle it. I can't imagine what teenagers (let alone kids) were going through.
Same I was not a teen during COVID😭
Same here, I was like around 6-8 years old (kid) when covid started! Like I was terrified if covid would be cured and if everyone would be safe and able to go out again... and now we might go through this... AGAIN?!?!
Same! I would cry because I wanted to go do these things but I couldn't.
I turned 21 in 2019, but was robbed of being 21 during the pandemic.
oh my god if there is a second lockdown in the span of 4 YEARS i might go mental. Why would you ever WANT that?
I was in 1st grade during Covid and missed half of kindergarten and had to wear a mask for the first few months of second grade. now I’m going to sixth grade next year and I did not wanna miss it. This is sick.
I can’t do online school again. I just can’t. I can’t be alone for years again. When I did online schooling I went from a straight A student to FAILING 4/6 of my classes and I still am now only a C-B grade student. I didn’t learn anything and I lost all motivation to do anything. Please, this can’t happen again.
Me too I don't want this to happen again
My lsst yrar of high school was during the pandemic and I couldn't even figure out how to do school online.
Online classes makes me lack motivation too. On top of that, the school issued laptops don’t work on my home WiFi. They go slower than the immortal snail. Sure next year I’m getting a MacBook but still
This! I was an A student before I transferred to online school. And surely enough, IT. WAS. HELL. I got sidetracked a lot, my grades dropped, my mental health got worse, my relationship with my parents got rocky, to the point where we would have yelling matches EVERY DAY. I had a lot of suicidal thoughts and even thought how I was going to die. So I hate how people romanticize lockdown, because I genuinely love going to in-person school, and I would be so sad if we had a lockdown for the rest of my sophomore semester.
@@VampireBloodlustt that exactly how I felt and what all happened over lockdown for me. God it was so fucking bad. And if this Mpox shit happens I won’t know what to do. ESPECIALLY if I catch Mpox as I’m a chronic skin picker
COVID was terrible for me, a childless 40something with a good job and home. I can't imagine how devastating it would be for a teenager, especially one graduating during it.
I graduated in 2021 and let me tell ya, it was awful. The fact that we were LUCKY to have an actual graduation ceremony is quite sad.
Yeah I got lucky and finished high school in 2019, watching my siblings suffer was the worst
i graduated in 2020. let me tell you, it was easily one of the most depressing things in my damn life :| my graduation was my parents driving the car through my school's track field while a very select few teachers waved goodbye and then i never saw any of them again.
@@halley8105i graduated from high school in 2019 and i’m so grateful that i ended that phase of my life normally. however, i started college until august 2020, so i felt like the world stole some solid years of freedom, the crazier ones at that. i missed the phase of being adult enough to be a little careless and have less responsabilities, and went straight into the full on adult world. i still feel stuck at 19.
@@A.H._ I turned 18 in 2020, just before the first lockdown, adulthood just doesn't feel real
My friend passed away early 2020 before the lockdowns. We weren't able to have a funeral for him because of the lockdown. Some people have zero ability to think about anything outside of themselves...
The lockdown made me so mentally unstable it changed me COMPLETELY. I became lazy and incompetent and irritant. I absolutely do not want another lockdown for my sake AND EVERYONE'S.
I was about 9 when COVID put us in lockdown. And it completely destroyed my life.
I was in a constant state of paranoia and anxiety, which I couldn't even relive by taking a walk or playing at the park. I missed my friends, I missed the park, I missed living. Everyday more people would get infected, more people would die, and I was deadly afraid of becoming one of them. I know a few people who lost family to COVID.
Lockdown wasn't fun or trendy, and the 'fun' we *did* have was a futile attempt to ignore the literal apocalypse outside.
But yay no school!!
same covid lockdown was shit
same....
Same
I was 6 when the COVID lockdown happened
it's also hilarious to me that people think that it would take so long for teachers to get back on their feet this time.
like 90% of teachers have already done this. its going to not be "we don't know what to do, you guys have no school", people are just going to immediately start online school again 🤦♀️

This is insane, how could ANYONE want to go through that again. I litterally started a depressive episode at 11 that still persists to this day because of the stupid lockdown! I don't think these people realise how many people's mental health degraded during that time... Like, sure, at first, not going back to school sounds fun, but don't they remember how we used to learn NOTHING?
Exactly, sure my mental health was bad already but I could kind of manage it, during lockdown it got so much worse and still hasn't gone back to a manageable level, I became even more terrified of almost everything, and there was times I was worried we wouldn't be able to get what we needed that week because people kept panic buying and hording everything! I remember staying up late crying because I was terrified of what tomorrow would bring and becoming more introverted.. I hate when people say "Ohh I can't wait for another lockdown!!!2221111" or "but but but lockdown was fuuuunnnnn!!!!!!!" NO! NO IT WASN'T!
Same, I don’t remember learning anything at the years of lockdown. Online class was so boring and I felt locked in. The first chance I got I went back to school in person (and got a terrible teacher, I was in special ed) which made things worse. Not only that but I lost social skills to the point where I couldn’t even hold a conversation for more than 20 seconds. I’m getting better, I don’t want that progress reverted because of a second pandemic.
In my grandpa's last few days of passing away in hospital, I couldn't visit him as I was under 16 and covid restrictions. I could have had so much more time with him, and it was agonising to sit at home not being able to see him.
What is wrong with people…
Everything
I know
@@gray_nick well said
Absolutely everything 😋
y e s (and I mean the entire universe by that.)
As a person who enjoyed their time in quarantine, I never want to live through that ever again. I don’t want to fear for my life when walking outside. I just regained my confidence and social skills, I don’t need to loose them again.
It’s frustrating and concerning to see how many people are neglecting basic health precautions, especially given the current spread of illnesses. As someone who is 18 and battling cancer, my immune system is compromised, and if I contract an illness while neutropenic, it could be fatal. The carelessness of others, like not wearing masks, puts people like me at serious risk.
Dude, Gen alpha got hit massively hard because they couldn’t go to physical school until 2022.
Do you know why they can’t read, write, etc? BECAUSE OF COVID!!! COVID affected their elementary school childhood, COVID AFFECTED THEIR LEARNING CAPABILITIES! Therefore, they couldn’t do much but use electronics to learn.
Gen alpha could have been a really good generation if COVID didn’t get in the way.
It genuienly scares me that people can actually think like this, what were they thinking here when they said this??
Was you childhood like 2 and a half years long
I lost some of the only things that genuinely made me happy. I started to even lie to myself that I was happy. I am NOT going back to that.
i genuinely dont understand how anyone could be "excited" or something that literally devastated MILLIONS of people. knowing that i might not go back into school after my first week of middle school with no way of contacting the new people ive met is so upsetting.
The idea of another lock down terrifies me. I worked in grocery retail during Covid and still do I couldn’t do another lockdown again. It was brutal emotionally, physically and mentally experiencing the worst of humanity in the worst of times.
its only people who dont understand it
The ingonrant to how dangerous to this is why they are happy, they are living in bliss.
mmmh hmmm
i hated lockdown. school used to be my only escape until lockdown happened and i was stuck at home with my abusive parents and crippling depression. i over ate and spent all my time sleeping or online, it was honestly hell. i learnt nothing, my grades dropped and i didnt even know my times tables bc i js wasnt learning anything. as a "gen alpha" (im 14 turning 15 next year) i might not have the right to speak in this situation but lockdown had a massive toll on my mental health, and even now its still affecting me. i honestly hope we dont go back into lockdown bc it will be hell.
bonus story: i got pushed over and stood on by multiple people in a massive crowd inside coles while trying to buy toilet paper with my family
2020 was such an awful year, as someone who’s part of gen alpha having to grow up during lockdown probably stunted my social skills a lot. Not to mention my first exposure to racism as a Chinese person. They were such miserable years as a Chinese-American, a child, a student, just a person in general!!
I’m SO sorry you went through all of that. It must’ve been hard on you and your family. No one deserves that kind of treatment. I hope things are better for you, just know there are people out there who care about your well-being and if you are going through something like this tell your parents or a trusted adult, don’t keep it all in.
@@getting_rid_of_clothes11 thank you so much, it means a lot to hear that
Anyone can be an introvert, you don’t need lockdown to stay at home and do what you please. Believe me, im all about watching true crime documentaries in my pjs on the couch. I’m glad that you brought up the human element. As a nurse during COVID who watched people die alone, one after the other, watch their heart rate go to 0 on the tele monitor, it’s pretty dehumanizing to wish for another pandemic 😞
This is definitely mostly young kids who were in elementary or early middle school/junior high during quarantine who didn’t have to worry about anything and didn’t realize how horrible it actually is.
Honestly from reading the comments, the young kids don’t want it to happen again either. They don’t like online school or being stuck at home.
@@AnnaPuppyfishtrue
@@AnnaPuppyfish I was in 7th grade when lockdown happened in 2020, I honestly really loved it, I was really shy and had literally no friends, had no responsibilities, and rarely went out. But now as an upcoming Junior, my life turned around, I have friends, I actually do stuff, I also work a part time job, I'm realizing how awful another lockdown would be, I would literally lose everything and be stuck at home. I would honestly not be able to handle that now unlike when I was in 7th grade.
As a young kid I hated lockdown
I was in elementary. I AM TRAUMATIZED. Why would i want to live that?
Personally, for me lockdown was a much needed break from interacting with other people, especially after my terrible experiences with bullying. THAT BEING SAID, I would still not wish for another lockdown, not only because of how it affected other people, but also I'm pretty sure it stunted the growth of my peers.
Agreed. Staying home for months didn’t hurt ME at all, but a lot of people were hurt (and many lost) during that time, and I can’t imagine wishing a repeat on humanity, let alone publicly celebrating the idea of a mass outbreak.
I have epilepsy. Staying in front of the laptop/phone is REALLY bad for me. My parents had to BEG my school to let me do hybrid lessons. They agreed after A YEAR. The year was really hard for me, feeling drained was normal. I’m especially scared of the lockdown and not being able to see my favorite artist because they will have a break for TWO YEARS, and it’s their last concert. I’m genuinely scared, since I don’t have a lot of ppl to talk to, and it’s hard to get through it.
I’m terrified for what would happen to my friends. They don’t have good homes, I don’t think they could be locked in with their families all day.
that's horrible! :(
I stopped caring about my health in 2020 and still struggle to break that habit 4 years later. I need to get out of the house every once in a while because of my ADHD and autism,I get restless staying in the house doing nothing
I also have Autism and Adhd and the pandemic messed up my rotine.I'm still trying to get my routine back in order.
I have ADHD and it helped my understanding of myself but at the same time I fuckin hated the isolation since I was suffering with (undiagnosed) schizophrenia and it was absolutely shitty
2:49 For like a month or two I had online school, not even video calls but instead they sent pdf files with your lessons. I hated it. Then, when I finally got into sixth grade, we had two groups in a class, one went to school three times a week, the other only two and then reverse. That was first semester, second was normal. Now, I don't remembered if it was seventh or eighth grade when we had to go to teacher's classrooms instead of them ours again, but that was brought back.
You go girl, get that driver's license. Definitely opened my life up to everything and anything around me. Sweet sweet freedom.

5:00 my great gran passed away on the 19th of March 2020, and her funeral was on the 1st of April. The only people who were allowed to be there were my mum, my mum’s brother and sister and my grandad. They weren’t allowed to bring flowers for her and had to social distance. My grandad was so heartbroken, and my mum couldn’t go and give him a hug. My brother and I had to sit in the car and afterwards my mum told me all of that and I felt so bad for them. 💔
i have autism and social anxiety, and even I DON'T WANT ANOTHER LOCK DOWN. i currently still do online school, so getting out of the house for ANYTHING AT ALL is a must. i don't wanna be trapped again. :,)

i was a senior in high school when covid hit. i didn't get a graduation, a prom, a final summer vacation with my friends before we parted ways for school, or a final state solo & ensemble (concert band competition). this year, i had the opportunity to play with my college's band for the graduation ceremony. i could barely hold myself together long enough to play, i was a sobbing mess by the time we were done because it was my first time seeing a REAL graduation ceremony since before covid, the one i was robbed of by a life threatening pandemic out of my control. seeing people WANT this back makes my blood boil.
Government control robbed you of those experiences, not a pandemic. I get that you are young, please listen, it's an important lesson for your generation to learn.
@@yesterdayseyes the government was trying to protect us from LITERALLY DYING (which many people still did!) wtf are you yapping about 💀
Yeah....no. I worked retail as an essential employee during the first lockdown and THAT was more than enough. The amount of verbal abuse people would throw at the mere suggestion to mask up back then was insanity. And worse, we couldn't actually police it even if we wanted to. I work a different job now but I'm almost positive it's also gonna be considered essential. I do not wanna go through that again. :/
I'm sorry man, you guys are the glue holding shit together tbh, without retail workers people would not have the shit we need.
Me to, it was awful. I would only want to work in retail again if my very life depends on it. I Had nice customers, scum and a lot in between those two.
as a gen alpha, our education was put back so much, I mean COVID-19 started when I was in first grade and now I am in sixth. They also have to realize that COVID doesn’t leave Prominent scars and injuries on your body. (I mean it did, but not in the way monkeypox does.) I wasn’t able to make emotional connections with my teachers and other peers. The only time there was was when we were out of quarantine and we were able to speak to each other. The only good thing was that I still got to keep Halloween, thanks to my uncle buying us candy
Thank you. I basically HAD TO skip Year 2 because of lockdown. Online Lessons were horrible because not everyone had devices, and I kept on getting distracted.

As someone who has experienced COVID and been hospitalized for at least 6 months because of it, all I have to say to those people are get help, there is no reason for a want to be sick for at the minimum of 2 weeks with monkey pox or COVID. And if we do get another lockdown, why would you not want to be able to do anything like going out with friends or being mask free while in public like do you all really want no sleep just so you can stay up playing games all night.
I remember how devastated my cousin was that she didn't get to go to her Senior prom because of Covid, she missed her first prom because her mother passed away just a few days before it and her Senior prom she was planning on going in honor of her mom since she never got to go to prom due to being a high-school drop out. I really don't see how some people could want to go back to times like that, where bits of our childhoods were stripped away from us and such. 😕
There are literally hundreds of people who killed themself due to the loneliness! Who wants to go through that again?! There are hundreds of studies that show the negative effect on loneliness on our brain
This is crazy as a person who’s gen alpha. The lockdown made me lonely and affected my mental health and worsened my eyesight due to the long amount of hours in front of a screen for online school. And I couldn’t even attend my elementary graduation due to being sick with Covid. I can’t imagine having to go through that again in the future :(
I'm just now realizing that I wasn't able to have my elementary school graduation either because I was in like the end of 3rd grade when it started and 4th grade during it, so I never got to attend mine either. And people want this crap again..? I'm going into 8th grade this year, I don't want to be locked inside..
@@Estella_alsoknownasgabi123me too. i wasnt able to have a graduation, but our teacher saw us as her own kids so she still gave us a little letter about how she’ll miss us and a small pin of our schools mascot. i miss her. she and these two guys i befriended were the only ones that got me through the last year of elementary when covid was at its peak.
As someone who loves friends and family to a HUGE degree, the lockdown made me miss them to a level i never had before, i did not see my long beach family for nearly a year, constanlty worried for my at risk family, and even missed so many important birthdays for aunts, uncles, granparents and cousins. It was hell for me
10:08 when you mentions the rates, I remember there were atleast 48,000+ deaths alone in 2021. I CANNOT start high school on online school, my grades were absolutely terrible even though I was a straight A student.
Another lockdown sounds TERRIFYING. It’s been like 2 years but I’m only just getting my social skills back, I seriously do not want another lockdown it was probably the most draining and stressful time of my life
AND not to mention old people would probably be on their own again, my grandma was all on her own with her dog for the whole of lockdown, it was so terrifying because our only communication with her was calls and texts, i seriously don’t want to be constantly worrying about her and my family because of another lockdown
