\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0From the time I was in kindergarten to now, my junior year in high-school, I have known how much everyone looks forward to graduating. It\u2019s a huge milestone in everyone\u2019s life. Graduating brings a sense of freedom and accomplishment to anyone who does it. High- school really sucks sometimes. The light at the end of the tunnel for most teenagers is walking across that field\/ stage and getting a diploma of completion. But now, because of COVID-19 (the Corona Virus), that milestone is being stripped from a lot of these teenagers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0These kids have waited for twelve years for something that should have been guaranteed. Yes, they will still get their diploma, but they won\u2019t have the ceremony that they most definitely deserve. Many adults are arguing that \u201cpeople are dying so these seniors shouldn\u2019t be so upset when there\u2019s worse things going on.\u201d While this is true, people are dying, these young adults are being stripped of something very important to them. They have every right to be angry, upset, or sad. It may not be as important as the death of these innocent victims, but it is still important. Telling these children that they have no right to be sad is just like telling someone that they have no right to be happy when better things are happening to other people. It\u2019s the exact same thing. You wouldn\u2019t tell a child that they shouldn\u2019t be happy over a good grade when there are people out there who are millionaires or have everything they ever wanted, so why tell these seniors that they have no right to be sad?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Every emotion that these seniors are feeling are valid in every way. If you are one of the people who feel that they are overreacting, put yourself in their shoes. Imagine something that you waited almost your entire life for being stripped away. It would upset you, right? The same concept applies to the class of 2020. This is such a huge milestone in a teenagers life. They have worked almost nonstop for so many years for this. Be kind to them. Treat them with the tenderness and kindness you\u2019d want to be treated with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our seniors are in pain, so show them the love you want to be shown.<\/p>\n
