I would have danced the fandango if my O level exams had been cancelled!
No proms back then but wouldn't have been bothered if the leavers party was cancelled because it wasn't much different to the weekly disco I went to back then (anyone else remember discos?). Last day of school wasn't A Thing.
I wouldn't have been allowed to stay in bed til afternoon because mum would have kicked me out of the house for part of the day. No doubt i would have gone to the phone box to ring my friend Karen and arrange to meet on the bus where we would travel to nowhere and back, pretending we were sisters if anyone asked why we weren't socially distancing.
Back home, mum wouldn't have put up with any moping around - she'd find me jobs to do if I dared say I was bored. I'd watch Brookside or listen to tapes on my cassette recorder or type articles about my miserable existence on my Olivetti typewriter.

To ask how you would have reacted to lockdown if it had occurred when you were a teen <can be lighthearted>
