To think young people have been totally forgotten ??

[Mossang3l]

I was watching something earlier and it was the very elderly talking about how the community has come together to take care of them. Christmas dinners, companionship, gifts, phone calls, check ins etc. Wonderful. I’m very happy they are being looked after.

But it’s really struck a chord with me. There is NOTHING like this to look after the young even though they are sacrificing so much for everyone else.

They don’t have careers or adult social connections, they’re probably single, they’re missing their educations and exams, they’re probably the highest percentage to have lost their jobs, they can’t see their friends, their future prospects have been reduced massively (through the economy, educational inequalities, brexit etc).

They’re all lonely and isolated and scared and all that adults seem to do is bitch about students and the young. They’re moaned about and criminalised just for being young (well they were is September anyway but it’s stuck I fear). Far too many of them are committing suicide and yet still nothing happens.

My daughter (20) lost her job and can’t get a new one, hasn’t been into uni once and is so lonely. She signed up to volunteer with every organisation she could find and hasn’t heard back from a single one.

Surely we need to be doing more to help the young ? I fear they are being totally forgotten and may be having the worst time of all.

No I don't have children this wa she year i was ready to go look for a partner and develop a relationship hopefully. Thats much harder now I dont have many years left if I want a child either.

But im mature enough and would have been even when i was 18 and in this pandemic to not think I have it harder than anyone. Oh expect others to puty me losing out on things I can easily make up in future years.

I could miss out on having children if there is another year like this as its really hard to form any type of relationship just online. But im not gonna be sitting here depressed and loaning ive got it harder than other people.

This is life it has ups and downs. If I end up I can't have my own maybe I can adopt. End of the day everyone has got it hard in their own way. Noone is more harder than another's

Cycling mad.

With respect.

You are on a forum of mothers worried about their children, when you haven’t had your own children yet. You are also telling those mothers that their children are no worse off than others.

You honestly don’t even sound mature enough to have children, let alone comment on this issue.

Right because only kids have it worse off. I'm not immature thank and I'm most certainly mature enough to have kids.

What I wont do is think that only one age group has it the hardest.

Besides plenty of mothers on here openly admitting to breaking rules letting their children break rules, what fine examples they are showing their children
