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!

I agree. My son has been a 4.0 student while playing 3 sports. Has been accepted to a lot of colleges, some with scholarships. In addition to missing out on all the high school milestones, he also can’t physically visit any colleges before he makes his decision. We had 2 weeks of college tours booked that we had to cancel.

He now has to make arguably the biggest decision of his life (at least so far), by only viewing stuff online and never seeing the physical campus or talking to anyone in person.

Class of 2020 got seriously fucked. Luckily my son is red pilled already, as are many of his friends. They are just sad and pissed off.

Ugh, we had the same problem with my daughter. She got a full ROTC scholarship to any school and she can't visit any school before choosing. Mad, mad props to your son!! You should be so proud. And screw China for robbing our kids and us of this time of celebration.

Class of 2020 did get a raw deal. Especially when you look at data in some states and question why they would even need to cancel these events.
