Project Fly the Nest

I've seen such a range of things on Social Media during this time. The spectrum ranges from oh well teens need to toughen up, to people are dying what teens feel about losing out on experiences don't matter.

The thing is grief is not a competition. One persons grief is not more important or valuable than another, someone elses loss doesn't deem your loss unimportant.

Be gentle with each other please.

It is possible to understand this crisis is serious and the quarantine is necessary AND be sad at all of the experiences being lost because of isolation.

Why teens may never be the same after the pandemic As everyone settles into new routines inside, at home, teens are feeling angry, anxious and reticent. Their identities are fracturing in isolation, and the people who love them, teach them and study them fear they'll wear the effects of the pandemic for years to come.
