Teens face a variety of problems, and sometimes it can feel as though adults don't understand what we're going through, even though they were once in our shoes. We believe our experience is worst than theirs! We have been struggling to go to school and learn during a pandemic (COVID-19) that no one has ever experienced.

Well, Google has become my best friend, I am trying to do my best, but honestly, I don't feel like it's enough with how things are going. There are different types of learners, and the environment influences whether or not we succeed. I believe that mental health is affecting us more than ever, with being isolated during this rough time and facing other challenges.  Other than that, I keep hearing teachers saying,” don't give up because you are graduating soon and looking towards co...
