The Quarantine Effect By Rhode Francois | @Xclusive.dd

efore I can express what the next five years will look like, it is important that I first look at how the past two years have been affected.
I think that most people don’t emphasize enough how the isolation that quarantine brought really had a big impact on teenagers. Personally, it was difficult for me, at first, to adapt to working and focusing on school all from home. While I did get lucky and managed to set up a system and schedule to focus myself, a handful of students were not able to. I witnessed 3.0’s dropping to 2.0’s and even to 1.0’s and lower.

During quarantine, I found myself detaching from others and rarely talking to people that weren’t in my house throughout the day unless it was strictly school-related.
