THREAD: Effects of lockdowns & restrictions on kids and teenagers.
There's many amazing representatives of young people on here but as a young person myself seeing much of this daily, I thought it would be good to make this.

Firstly I think the underlying theme is just the destruction of livelihoods. The phrase 'let kids be kids' seems to have been forgotten about this year. Millions have missed out on experiences, events, friendships, socializing, education and just some the care free times of life.
90,000 London children homeless. This is very distressing.
