Missing out on events with friends, hobbies, or sports matches is incredibly disappointing.
These are large-scale losses. They’re really upsetting and rightly so to teenagers. The best way to deal with this disappointment? Let yourself feel it.
When it comes to having a painful feeling, the only way out is through. Go ahead and be sad, and if you can let yourself be sad, you’ll start to feel better faster.
Processing your feelings looks different for everyone.
Some kids are going to make art, some kids are going to want to talk to their friends and use their shared sadness as a way to feel connected in a time when they can’t be together in person, and some kids are going to want to find ways to get food to food banks.
What’s important is that you do what feels right to you.
