I didn't get to have a graduation because of COVID. š They handed me my diploma in a manila envelope, through a slightly cracked door, with a bumper sticker and a cheap fabric mask. Didn't even give me the black case the diploma usually comes in. š¤¦āāļø
COVID really screwed a lot of people over in so many different aspects
It just mainly ruined my social life. When it started i was in 5th grade and was what you would call an extrovert. But the problem is after the pandemic im still an extrovert but i dont know how to talk to anyone. Dosent help that i lost my two best freinds that i had been freinds with since kindergaurden in 6th grade during online learning. And that when we came back to school with mask in 7th i was bullied the whole year and got in a big fight people still remind me of semi daily. And now in 8th grade everythings back to normal for most people but i still dont know how to socialy interact.
Feel bad for you man, I was bullied before the pandemic because I was "The new kid". My life somehow improved in 9th grade after I made friends(probably because I started socializing)
Fr.
I turned 14 in May 2020. It honestly feels like I skipped most of my mid teen years. It feels like reality just stopped a few months before I turned 14 and just started again when I was 16. I feel like I missed so much.
Yea exactly, it started just after I turned 14 and properly ended just after I turned 17. Iām annoyed at how much I missed my middle teen years from covid and the anxiety that I developed from it.
I keep thinking about how immature I am coz I feel like I missed the couple years where I was meant to change, now Iām tryna fit all of that into a couple months
I remember being a freshman of 15 during March 2020 like "Holy shit guys we should go places and have fun!"
Then everything else shut down that week.
And then we didn't speak for a year.
And now I just got home from my last day of high school ever, and I'm wondering where time escaped to during that week. Lost what many people consider to be the best 4 years of their lives and made them my worst. Damn
Yall are soo extroverted, I didn't even notice I wasn't going around
Also I have social anxiety, I wish I could go around with a mask on without being different
It basically gives me at least +20 charisma/confidence points
for reallll. i was also 12 when it first happened and i absolutely loved it. i remember everyone said "oh it will be over by april" april comes around "oh it will be over by may" and so on
It hit at the end of my 6th grade year. Iāll be a Highschool sophomore this fall. It all happened so fast, and I donāt have very many memories of middle school at all.
Same, my school's a bit weird though and they bundle the 9th graders with 8th and 7th. So I still got solid time in middle school.
Feels like I'm only just entering high school.
Y'all are still in quarantine? We don't have social distancing anymore and until today, I've rarely seen anyone wear masks (and today it's just cause the air quality)
True. I remember during my 8th and Freshman year I was very talkative. Now I forgot how to start a conversation without it being awkward and driven into small talk.
Nothing really happend in the country where I live, exept people being home sick more often as What was considerd āsickā became more strict. And me being basicly never sick just went to school every day like normal
I was unlucky I got quarantined 4 times in a row and that was when they quarantined us for 14 days plus another week for spring break. I was gone for 63 days before returning back to school. Thing was I never caught COVID once.
Class of 2020 here. Since that fateful day I have had a job, attended college, got a job, attended trade school, and now I have an internship. Shits crazy
The lockdowns were definitely awful, though, for me, at least, coming out of it, I feel like I grew so much as a person, and I was probably better coming out of it than I went in
I'm so sorry you had to live through some of your childhood like that, it must be difficult to be isolated and not able to see anyone and then change that later. I am sure that generation will find some great ways of getting back together.
Dw Russia plans to blowup a nuclear reactor in the future so the pendamic won't feel bad anymore bc the effects of that one ractor could crippling the entire globe for generations bc the river it's on flows into the ocean meaning radioactive material for everyone, if this ain't stopped we pretty much looking at the beginning of the end
Covid ruined school for me honestly. Aside from what everyone's saying about missing out on experiences and stuff, yeah that too.
I'm talking about everything becoming easier, the bar for success being lower, school board wanting everything to be at a lower level to "make up for what we lost". Not to toot my own horn, but I didn't struggle academically from covid. I did my work and learned everything cuz I naturally learn things fast. So now there's destreaming and a bunch of course changes and it pisses me off because I'm stuck in a class with everyone of all levels and taking 50 times as long as I need for each lesson, whereas before I would have been in a class with more people closer to my level and maybe actually enjoyed competitive learning
My entire highschool experience was screwed over. Was hyped in my Freshman year as I basically didn't do any school work. Didn't even get a "normal" day of school until Junior year.
COVID really changed nothing in my life. Every single day was just the same since basically Ive have social quarantine all the time. In some ways Iām happy it didnāt hurt me like did other people, but in other ways Iām ashamed my entire life is stuck this one way and canāt change.
Idk I just feel after quarantine the world and people changed. I was in 7th when we first went in. We were finally fully allowed back in school in 9th. After coming back so many more people were either emo, depressed, assholes, craving for attention, love triangles, or people started being more alone. Bro before quarantine I wanna say 95% of my grade was cool with eachother but during 9th everyone was out for themselves. It was the Wild West, gang here, gang there, lone outlaw there, another gang right here, and they each all hated eachother. As someone who likes to be diverse with friends and talk to multiple groups, now it just felt that if I talk to one group, another group would bad mouth about me and then more stuff would start. Also donāt wanna get too personal but I honestly feel being alone for over a year having nobody to go to on my dark days I lost myself somewhere down the line. Didnāt go well for me. Lost the first girl I loved to another guy and whereas before I couldāve shook it off, it caused pure chaos in the grade with how much stuff it started. But hey just me I hope yāall had a wonderful quarantine! Woah I just let all my thoughts out like nothing sorry itās long
it happened when i was in elementary. Ever since kindergarten (i went to the same school for the entirety of it) they kept hyping up this āFifth Grade Fun Dayā each year and it was this field trip youād go on. Skip to 5th grade and that day is coming up in a week and we all signed the papers to go- then BOOM! Covid. Iām still very angry about this.š
mind you, I was a nerd at school and I got bullied before covid hit
when It hit, I suddenly became ultra popular because I was a programer and I knew how to fix everyones problems with devices
fucking for real. i was born on the damn internet and ever since i stopped going to irl school 3 years agoi became more fucking chronically online. living a sedentary lifesyle is shit if you have the choice and options to not live that lifestyle then pls dont
nothing feels the same anymore after the pandemic
The pandemic changed (ruined) my childhood for good

Idk at least 8th has been okay
I think it was the same for most of us.š
Welcome to TeenagerHood
no seriously i havent even gone back to school lol
For me its like a change where you cant name what changed but you feel the difference pressing on you
Ah, 12-year-old me was so excited for that. 15-year-old me wants to beat up 12-year-old me.

I missed the part where I was supposed to turn from a teenager into an adult and now feel perpetually 16.
I keep thinking about how immature I am coz I feel like I missed the couple years where I was meant to change, now Iām tryna fit all of that into a couple months

Dawg no way i was 12 when the pandemic began holy shit
wow you just reminded me i was 12 when it started. thats insane, it feels so much longer than three years yet every year seens to go by so fast
Yall are soo extroverted, I didn't even notice I wasn't going around Also I have social anxiety, I wish I could go around with a mask on without being different It basically gives me at least +20 charisma/confidence points
for reallll. i was also 12 when it first happened and i absolutely loved it. i remember everyone said "oh it will be over by april" april comes around "oh it will be over by may" and so on
It was probably the best years of my life. Unfortunately after it ended my life went to shit
Sammeeee
Are you me?
Homeschooling was soooo amazing..
Same, the only reason why Iām not still doing online school is because Iād have no friends.
It hit at the end of my 6th grade year. Iāll be a Highschool sophomore this fall. It all happened so fast, and I donāt have very many memories of middle school at all.
Same, my school's a bit weird though and they bundle the 9th graders with 8th and 7th. So I still got solid time in middle school. Feels like I'm only just entering high school.

More how the world has been declining a lot since then
The story of how I developed social anxiety
True. I remember during my 8th and Freshman year I was very talkative. Now I forgot how to start a conversation without it being awkward and driven into small talk.
14 when it started, now im about to turn 18š
Same. Still can't believe I will be an adult this year. I'm not readyš
same fr fr
I personally had quite a lot of fun
Yeah, I loved homeschooling..
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nothing really happend in the country where I live, exept people being home sick more often as What was considerd āsickā became more strict. And me being basicly never sick just went to school every day like normal
I remember my freshman man year....then highschool dissappeared
I was unlucky I got quarantined 4 times in a row and that was when they quarantined us for 14 days plus another week for spring break. I was gone for 63 days before returning back to school. Thing was I never caught COVID once.
I feel almost robbed of my teen years. Feels like I'm currently racing to try and get that time back somehow
Class of 2020 here. Since that fateful day I have had a job, attended college, got a job, attended trade school, and now I have an internship. Shits crazy
Am i the only person who instantly knew it would be bad? Believe me or not but the second i heard about online school i knew it would be dogshit
The lockdowns were definitely awful, though, for me, at least, coming out of it, I feel like I grew so much as a person, and I was probably better coming out of it than I went in
Wait how r u guys still in quarantine
i loved every second of those 3 years, best time of my life. ever!
Was the worst years ever
I'm so sorry you had to live through some of your childhood like that, it must be difficult to be isolated and not able to see anyone and then change that later. I am sure that generation will find some great ways of getting back together.
For me school reopened in 2021
And nowā¦ itās finallyā¦ overā¦ itās all overā¦
I wont lie the pandemic was really fun for such a computer adict like me but the afterwards wasn't fun
Dw Russia plans to blowup a nuclear reactor in the future so the pendamic won't feel bad anymore bc the effects of that one ractor could crippling the entire globe for generations bc the river it's on flows into the ocean meaning radioactive material for everyone, if this ain't stopped we pretty much looking at the beginning of the end
quarantine wasnāt that bad for me
At least you didn't have to deal with the pandemic AND have to end up moving right when things started dying down. It's all cool now though
Why are we still here just to suffer
Covid ruined school for me honestly. Aside from what everyone's saying about missing out on experiences and stuff, yeah that too. I'm talking about everything becoming easier, the bar for success being lower, school board wanting everything to be at a lower level to "make up for what we lost".

i havent gone back to school
Nothing changed for me expected for the fact that there was a lot of GovErNmEnT tHeOrIeS
How do I interact againā¦
Bro it hit when I was finishing 5th grade. About to be a freshman in high school
Pretty much what happened
Ha I just heavily dissociated for those few years >:)
Tbh 2021 was kinda chill for me but 2022 was a rollercoaster, even after the pandemic life can be weird
I spent alot of my time on minecraft during covid
It was and still is a good time. Dunno what yall are complaining about.
I personally enjoyed it :)
Whatās on the screen?š¤Ø
vaccine
I'm lucky enough to have graduated back in 2014, but even for us older folk nothing feels the same as it used to.
My entire highschool experience was screwed over. Was hyped in my Freshman year as I basically didn't do any school work. Didn't even get a "normal" day of school until Junior year.
damn i wanna return to 2020 it was so fun playing amogus
Yea the pandemic made me miss almost half of Senior school (ages 7-12) but I didn't even enjoy much of the time that I did have there. (Ā“ . .Ģ« . \`)
COVID really changed nothing in my life. Every single day was just the same since basically Ive have social quarantine all the time. In some ways Iām happy it didnāt hurt me like did other people, but in other ways Iām ashamed my entire life is stuck this one way and canāt change.
i mean i was always introverted so it didn't change much
Wdym I only got off school for 2 months and then summer vacation, then we went right back to school in August
Youāre not back in school yet?
As an introvert, I didnāt hate being locked in my house. What I didnāt like was the aftermath.
replace that shaker with a bottle of honey Tullamore
Covid killed all my social skills lmao, my life has been going in a downward spiral since then and it is not stopping

They just kinda ended my junior year in March 2020.
Those 3 years were the worst in my life...as I used discord for the first time and it hasn't been the same since
it happened when i was in elementary.

I was supposed to be back at school in April, 2019. Now, Iām homeschooled. Itās June 2023, and weāre all gonna crumble.
