      I totally agree. I'm a teen too, about to write my boards next year. My emotions are going crazy. It's just not fine. At one time I'll be like, phew I'm glad that 2020 is over but at the same time I'll be like , oh no the year in which I could've gone to school had a lot of fun there and all is gone. This is like the time when I really miss school. Not only for better teacher Student communication and better understanding of the concept but also for those few moments that you spend with your classmates. I'll be off to college soon and this is killing me . (My school memories cut off).

      I care very much for my child, my nieces, and nephews. I was only able to have one child but my heart is full of love for all children. I am studying for my degree in child psychology soon I hope and planning on becoming a foster mom and a safe home for all children in need that I have room and energy for. There are many just like me. Please do not give up hope. You are not looking in the right places if you feel that all people do not care about the children of the world anymore. Even you are able to make a difference for one child. May you always be blessed and loved even if only by yourself because the best gift of all is self love. Nobody can ever take away the true love you have for yourself.

      It's not up to our nation anymore. It's up to us. It's not the government who will take care of us. We need to take care of each other. Then we will no longer need the government. We were wrong to depend on them to the extremes that we have for so long. Our world for ourselves exists beyond our front door and our social media accounts and we have forgotten that for too long. We allow people to he beaten in the streets and do not intercede because we do not know the person being harmed. This is wrong. This has to stop. This mentality of everyone for themselves has gotten way out of hand. Everyone needs to start caring about everyone again like it used to be back in the "Old Days" even before when I was born in 1975 because when I was little and being abused, beat, starved, sent to school with bruises, nobody did a damn thing then either in the 80's. "We the People"? When? This generation, your generation, needs to get this right this time. 🙏🏼🙌

    Yes, as a high schooler it’s taking a really bad toll on me. I feel like this disease is the most hardest for children and teenagers to cope with. My year in life is completely destroyed. After going through years of struggling with my mental health I felt like it better in 2019 but now it got worse again in 2020 because of this coronavirus and I don’t know how the rest of this year is going to go for me. Remote learning has been extended into the 2020 to 2021 school year which is my high school sophomore year. I don’t know how the rest of this year is going to go for me. A therapist is not helping. I don’t want to continue

      As a mother now who was once a sophomore in high school once I understand how hard high school can be. I unfortunately came from a highly abusive home, was bounced from my mothers where my physically, sexually, mentally abusive stepfather lived running to my fathers home where my emotionally and mentally abusive stepmother lived only to be later sent back to my mothers because my father did not want to deal with his problematic daughters behavior caused by years of horrible abuse. My parents lived in two different states. I changed schools 3 times in my freshman year, 3 times in my junior year and was in 3 different states as well because my mother also kept moving.
      Please keep this in mind beautiful one. Life is so very hard. Also, life is what you make of it. Your teenage years are a very short time in your life and although it seems hard for you now, know that someone out there is always struggling more and not giving up. Don't you ever lose hope or give up either. ❤🙏🏼🙌
      Strength will always win. Never give up on yourself no matter what.

      You might change therapists, Talk to your therapist about the fact you feel like it’s not helping, you can also increase your time that you’re in therapy or join a support group. If Do you feel like you cannot go on with school, talk with your parents, your family, always reach out and get help. So many others are feeling similar ways, I encourage you to seek them out and support each other. You’re not alone. It just feels like it.😐

    Any parent that it is "surprise" about the mental health toll that this is going to give kids, is delusional.
    My kids are homeschooled and they are each other school mates, so they are handling it well, but if your child went to school and had friends, they are suffering right now. No matter how they seem to be managing it, they are going to need counseling when this is all over.

    So I kinda fell into a depressive state during virtual learning in California. The first month or so I loved it but it slowly made me unmotivated. I also couldn't sleep well because of a breathing problem that was caused by my tonsils being to big, that made me dependent on coffee so in 8th grade I was sorta depressed, had coffee addiction, sleeping problems. Also I felt pretty lonely only my mom was home and my dad and sister were working most of the time and my mom had other things to do, after 8th grade and it was the summer I had free time to work on my hobbies like model trains and action figures, which made my mental health better, I got a tonsillectomy, so I can now sleep better and I'm not dependent on coffee anymore. I moved to southern Texas and I'm in 9th grade, I go to a amazing high school with a agricultural program, and I live in a amazing house. So I'm doing alot better now school is alot harder because the teachers have expectations and aren't lazy and assign you work, I'm not really use to doing work because of 1 years of wasting my time and not learning anything. But yeah other than that I'm doing better

      I have an 8th grader, I don't care who the president is, my child is socially and mentally suffering. Get off your political high horse and think about these children. I hate both political parties at this point, you both suck, all i care about is my child
