Dear Thelma: Everyone seems fine staying home but I am struggling


I'm an extroverted teenager, and I'm stuck at home due to the MCO. Most people seem to be able to take staying at home very well, and lots of my friends have picked up new skills such as cooking, crocheting and other things. Everyone is making the best of this time, except for me.

My friends and my school were the centre of my life. I'm the leader of a club in school, and I enjoy brainstorming with my members and getting to know them better. I miss my friends, who would always support me and make me feel happy. I even miss my teachers, who would always crack a few jokes in class when we weren't paying attention.
