Can't help but think what the future holds as a young teenager still at college will I ever get back with this hanging over our heads big question that none of us knows. The balance of living or staying safe wow what a a choice we will have to make not going to easy for any of us.

[sassy59]

Yes Pokermon, it’s not going to be easy for anyone. We have no idea what the future holds. This virus is relentless for now but we will beat it and things will return to normal albeit a new normal. We have hope to hold onto.

Stay safe xxxxx😘

I think we have to take it a step at a time and see what happens next. It is all still a worry but there are still many unanswered questions because this disease is so new and no one yet knows what the answers are.

It was said in the news today that it is likely to be younger children at junior school allowed back to school first but not until June, followed by 10 and 11 year olds at secondary school.

You may be a way down the list of whatever age groups are allowed back after that but hopefully you will be able to resume your studies safely at some stage. My fingers are crossed that that will be the case for you xx

[Pokermon in reply to CDPO16]

Strange but it will be a scarry time for all of us when we are set free think that's when we will be at a greater risk fingers crossed.

[CDPO16 in reply to Pokermon]

That's for sure Pokermon. Let's hope that it will be safer than we expect it to be. Take good care of yourself for now xx

It is scary the unknown and especially for you being so young but I think we will adjust to a new 'normal' whatever that normal is for each of us individually. Always try to keep hold of hope, and this virus has got all the scientists worldwide working together so that's a positive 😁🤞 It must be so difficult for you, keep safe 😘 xxx

Remember when you were little, wanting to get somewhere fast but Mum held you back at a road making sure it was safe to cross? When you were tiny that seemed such a long wait. Well that's like the lockdown. It seems like a long wait but just as you could have been injured or died on the road you can be ill or die now if you rush back out to get on with life.

None of us are happy under house arrest but it will be over one day.

Meanwhile keep safe and keep busy.

hi Sweetheart,

I think shielding/ isolating is so much easier for me than it would be for your age group. It’s hard, don’t get me wrong and a bit scary, but missing out on college or staying safe at home is a catch 22.

It’s true none of us know how long this will go on pokermon but eventually it will pass and you have youth on your side lovely.

Stay safe

Love cx

It won’t be forever sweetheart😘

Hi Pokermon . 👋

Sure it's going to be different and almost certainly difficult at times. But luckily we are adaptable and you will soon get used to it all once college starts up again. It will be okay we just have to keep up our precautions to stay healthy. You keep your chin up. You've got loads of good things to look forward to. xx 💕😁

I play mental games with myself, to see things in a different light. Could you see this as a free Gap Year, no trying to get the parents to fund a time helping in Africa or South America, but a time to learn something off the computer, a second (or third language) early stage counselling skills, any skill that interests that can be done indoors. Speaking as a late 60 year old, if I was interviewing someone in the future, I would want to know what people had done with this time, especially as I would expect their exam results might have suffered, something imaginative would be a plus as far as I was concerned. I think "normal" will return, so we have to prepare for it. Do you have a driving licence? if not learn the Highway Code in preparation. Sounds boring, but need to keep the brain knowing how to learn, otherwise it turns to mush (me speaking from experience after I had to retire early).

Hi I often wondered what life would be like and have a stress at the way the world used to be before covid 19 and what my young grandchildren would be dealing with in the future however this pandemic has slowed us all down and maybe it will have a positive impact on the world and its people. We will all have to be cautious for a while. There are plenty of free online courses on the open university that may help us gain experience and knowledge. I just hope people come out of this valuing life and seeing it as being very precious. Take care. Stay safe. x Anita

This time next year...it will all be behind us.

We humans have a drive to get on, to live and to thrive. This phase will pass.

Take care for now.
