I want to get a message to the President that he should address the current high school seniors across America. They had their senior year ruined by this virus. My daughter, for example, had her senior prom cancelled 3 hours before it was supposed to start. We were literally putting the final touches on her makeup when the school's robocall came in that all high school functions were to be cancelled immediately. This included prom, all awards ceremonies, the senior play, the senior trip to Disney World that we had being paying for all year, and now graduation. School just unceremoniously ended. They don't even get to say goodbye to the friends they've been with for years. No one is really talking about them. They feel forgotten and unimportant. And, really, so do the parents. I feel that we were robbed of this milestone, too. This is such an important transition for the whole family.

I was thinking that maybe if the President addressed the high school seniors directly that it could ease some of the sting.

Thanks, pedes!

You’re getting downvoted, but I agree with you. I understand that it’s important for some people, sometimes maybe more important for their parents, but anyone who seriously thinks the best years of their lives are in highschool are either still in highschool or live their lives as if they still are.

Not saying kids aren’t disappointed, but maybe prom isn’t as important as everyone pretends it is.
