Alperen-Turkey Auksė Lithuania Youth Reaction to COVID-19 In my as a young person„s opinion, at first teenagers were feeling locked down at home and lonely. They didn„t look at Covid-19 as such a big problem, but now we got used to it and know all of the dangers of the pandemic. We found new activities and hobbies to keep us active, got used to online schools. Sadly, we miss our friends, but we know that we need to stay at home, and we have never thought about that earlier.Sometimes young people do not react seriously to the situation, but Covid-19 is a great example that in difficult times, young people can be understanding. Distance learning is a challenge for everyone, but it‟s a great time to take a break from your daily routine and understand exactly what you want. The most important thing now is to believe and feel great respect for physicians.At first I was obviously happy because the schools shut down. I didn‟t really care to think about the virus or what can happen. When I finally watched the news and talked to my family members about it, I got very anxious and stressed. Now after more than one month in quarantine, I got used to being at home. Online classes were difficult at first, but now it‟s pretty easy for me. I don‟t follow the news anymore because they just stress me out. Youth reaction to the pandemic Covid – 19 is different. Many people still think that it‟s a joke, but more and more people are starting to take it seriously. We need to start doing something about these global challenges.
