Being young has never been more difficult, and Covid is the least of our worries
Every two months since March 2020, I have declared the pandemic over. “Grow up, Covid’s over now,” I say to no one in particular.
Good man. At least he's not whining that it should be continued forever
I’m not alone in feeling I’ve lost my groove. According to a study by the Prince’s Trust, happiness and confidence among 16- to 25-year-olds has slumped to a 13-year low. It goes without saying that Covid is a significant cause of the malaise. Most of the house parties, let alone nightclubs, festivals and holidays, have been cancelled, often before they were organised in the first place. Not only does this mean more time spent alone, staring blankly at the screen that seems to be permanently 20cm from my nose, it also means nothing to look forward to: no reward for all the effort I put into college, university and trying to get a job. Where once the end of exams meant parties and trips abroad with friends, it is now marked with depressing Zoom drinks – if indeed it is at all.
It's a bit of a long read and he goes beyond Covid to rising house prices, jobs, money etc and to be quite honest, I'm surprised the article made it into the Guardian
There are some Guardian moments, like mentioning the questionable politics of TV's 'Friends' and the cost of a flat white, but for the main he makes a good go of pointing out the damage that our Government have done to the country at large, with their childish and pointless lockdowns
Lockdowns that the Guardian have been championing for the past two years
And now it's all coming to an end, we have a war. So I wouldn't worry young lad, in a couple of weeks we'll probably all be dead in a nuclear holocaust. Any Government who thought is was a good idea to lock everyone down, close all the businesses and shut the NHS for a virus, is certainly dumb enough to make the worst of this bad situation
They really are that stupid
