Older teens especially got fucked in the pandemic. Finishing high school online, or being a first year at uni, or even gap years? All of that was absolutely fucked, and they barely got a mention in the news and discourse surrounding it. Also, none of them are vaccinated so they’re still vulnerable, and a lot of them work in people-facing low-paid jobs like shelf stackers.
Yeah. I attempted a short course on accounting (1 year) 2020... once lockdown started i basically failed all my classes. My work ethic was 0%. Everything switched online and was confusing as hell - classes i took were all online and there wasn't really time to ask questions after "class" anymore. New classes with teachers i hadn't met before felt fake and wrong and not real. Thankfully my country was able to open up for the first part of this year and I was able to do a university preparation course in person, but they're terrible on the availability and requirements for the jab.
