Youth and Covid-19
Since March 2020, we are living in the middle of a pandemic. COVID-19 radically changed everyone’s life in a split second. Suddenly, we could only go out to go to the grocer’s, to the pharmacy, or other basic needs.
Since that time, our way of seeing the world has changed, and with that, our relationship with other people and ourselves.
For teenagers, these years that were supposed to be “the best years of their life” have turned into the most difficult ones.
