Teens in Covid Isolation: ‘I Felt Like I Was Suffocating’ New York Times, November 12

“I felt like I was trapped in my own little house and everyone was far away,” Aya, 14, said. “When you’re with friends, you’re completely distracted and you don’t think about the bad stuff going on. During the beginning of quarantine, I was so alone. All the sad things I used to brush off, I realized I couldn’t brush them off anymore.”

● Centers for Disease Control: The proportion of teen emergency room visits related to mental health has increased 31% during the pandemic.

● America’s Promise Alliance: A recent study of 3,300 high school students found that nearly one-third reported feeling unhappy or depressed in recent months.

CUHSD Student Perspectives

“It is harder for me to understand the examples

my teacher is showing online.”

Westmont Student in SAI Program at Connectivity Hub

“The motivation and drive to learn in students like myself is decreasing greatly, along with mental health. We aren’t learning, and have no incentive to do so without being in person. As a student, I suggest you open the schools the earliest the state allows and offer as many in person activities as possible.”

Leigh Student in survey

"I have only been on campus twice this year. Once was to get books. I do not know anyone and I feel isolated. There are no opportunities for me to make new friends. I don't feel like I am part of anything."

Del Mar Student, 9th Grade

“As a student with ADHD, it is much harder to pay attention in an online setting than a physical setting. It is much easier to be distracted at home.”

Branham Student in focus group

"I'm learning, but it takes twice as long. Half the time I don't know what I'm working on or how to do it."

Prospect Student, 11th Grade
