The Downsides of Quarantine by JJ

I hate quarantine. You probably hate quarantine too. Nobody likes being cooped up in their house for months. This is an essay about the downsides of quarantine.
You get lonely and bored because you cannot see your friends. You can’t really play outside so lots of energy starts to build up inside you, and you can’t even get out your energy! It is horrible! You can’t forget the fact if you go outside of your house you have to wear a mask. They can make you overheat and if you are doing lots if physical activity it will start to get hard to breath. Also, if you don’t get to exercise a lot you will probably end up gaining weight.

Then there is the fact that you can’t see your friends. This might end up giving you depression or make you extremely lonely. Who likes to just talk to their parents or siblings? BORING. For example, I can barely see my friends and I get bored all the time. If you are the kind of person that doesn’t like to talk to your parents (me) then you are kind of screwed. You may end up talking to yourself or not living objects. Which is kind of creepy and weird.

This is a great time to get a phone, because if you are my age or older all your friends will probably already have phones so you could call them and talk to them. You would probably end up being less lonely (but you would still probably be lonely). We don’t even go to school anymore so we see barely anyone. Online school can be hard for some people because they might need help from the teachers because they might be learning a new or hard subject, during online learning I have had experience where I need help with something and my parents can’t figure it out and the teacher isn’t online so you might have to end up turning something in late and getting a bad grade on it because the teacher couldn’t help you. So, it ends up being the teacher’s fault and things can get complicated and confusing.

In conclusion, quarantine is horrible. I cannot wait till life is normal again.
