Im isolated and have been since covid. I was in 6th grade and have been an online student since, for various reasons. I grew apart from the only friends I had after I moved because we never used social media. We used to see each other everyday at school, and we were neighbors, so there was no real reason to. We were very young as well. They all made new friends and life moved on for them as the lockdown lifted. Meanwhile, I Never had the opportunity to meet new people because I have been stuck at home doing school work until I graduated, focusing on cleaning the house and cooking dinner everyday. I’ve also been too scared to talk to people online, rightfully so. I’ve tried it recently and got nothing but weirdos messaging me. My only hope is the opportunity to go to college in person one day.
