today, I went to school after a ten months break. I was very excited to meet my old friends and greet my new teachers, but the pandemic is still raging with cases rising higher than ever, and the thought of getting infected by a classmate petrified me. As I sit down on my desk, which has been spaced out from everyone, a rush of thoughts raced through my mind: What is lunch gonna be like? Are we even allow to sit next to each other? The depressing reality that were living in is truly broken; a dark time that can instill fear into both adults and children.
I understand the word Tourette's Syndrome more because I understand how kids/people with this diagnosis can get bullied so easily for it, and can change their lives dramatically if people listen to these bullies.
