The Lockdown was a difficoult moment for me,perhaps the most difficoult of my life.The pandemic made me discover a parte of myself that I did not know before.In the shutdown I felt bad for the lack of friends and relatives,I was every day always sadder and almost nothing could cheer me up.The pandemic is asking us for a change,it is asking everyone but especially us young people.We will be able to overcome even this bad moment.

I have learned a lot about myself during this lockdown, and I think that I have also matured and grown a lot. What makes me happy is my family and my friends. I realized that friendship is something fundamental, because during this lockdown my friends didn't get to tired, because we played and joked in our afternoon calls. I have been very close to my family, in particular my grandfather and grandmother, and I understood the importance of being with my family.

During the lockdown I felt the need to be close to my family and my friend and I realized even more how important they are to me

While I was in lockdown I didn't get discouraged and I was able to follow the lessons as if I were at school. It made me happy to spend more time with my family and I still maintained my friendships over the phone.

While I was in lockdown I had a bad time with myself. I felt bad, I cried every day and I didn't feel comfortable with myself. My friends helped me to get throught this period and for the first time I felt important to someone. My family helped me too. I spent a lot of time with them. I don't know what I had done without them.

I learned that I enjoy spending time alone as well as with my friends.

In the first period of lockdown, I kind of isolated myself from everybody except my family, I’ve gotten really close to them, especially my mother, and I’ve also went through a lot of changes( personality, style, hobbies and I've even made a lot of new friends)

# data[].attributes.body
I've learned to better appreciate the amount of work my family does. I've also learned just how important socializing is.

This may sound cheesy, but the main thing I've learned about myself is that I cannot function without music (well, I can, but it's terribly difficult). Wherever I was, whatever I was doing, I was always listening to something (I am not kidding - I did it while cooking, going to the toilet and even while taking showers). My Spotify Wrapped alone tells me I listened to music for a total of 45,721 minutes. That's 762 hours. That's 31 whole days. That's a whole month. That's 8,3% of the entirety of last year. I am sorry, but I need to stress this a bit more: a tenth of my year was spent listening to music. As a result, my hearing is kind of permanently damaged, but do I regret it? Absolutely not. As for interpersonal relationships, I can say I've gotten closer to some people, and I'm thankful for that. Since there wasn't much to do in a city where cinemas and shopping centres were closed, the one thing I could do was take walks - and I did plenty of that. Usually I was accompanied by someone, and that is how I got to know some people a lot better. Lastly, at the beginning of the lockdown I was honestly expecting a 'The Shining' type of situation with my family (you know, since we were locked together in a cramped apartment for a month), but turns out we are pretty chill people and we actually got along really well.

# data[].attributes.body
Before the pandemic I didn't have much time to spend with my family. In such times when the only people we could interact with were solely the ones from our family, we inevitably got closer. I now have a really strong bond with my brother, which I am really grateful for. I also learned that self time is important and it is ok to take a break from your friends at times.

# data[].attributes.body
I have realised that I have a group of friends that no matter what happens will always be there for me. In addition, I have had the chance to spend time with my family and strengthen our relationships.

While in lockdown I realised that when I am not stressed I can achieve many things. Simple everyday things make me happy. All this time I have also realised who my real friends are.

# data[].attributes.body
It is difficult to meet my friends but we have been speaking through messenger. I also spend a lot of time with my family and that is really good.

# data[].attributes.body
I have realised who my true friends are becuase we kept in touch although we didn't get together every day.

# data[].attributes.body
I have realised that many of my friends get along with me and the rest of the friend group just because we are together every day during school. In essence, since we have been in quarantine, many have started fading away from my daily life making me recognise the true ones. I have also realised my role in my family and how I can improve myself in order to help and support my loved ones during these tough times.

# data[].attributes.body
I have realised that a few and good trusted friends are much better than too many. I have also enjoyed spending more time with my family, cooking and talking.

Yes, during quarantine I have discovered just how creative you can be through drawing. It has become an outlet for self-expression without words, just with abstract shapes and ideas. I hope I will carry on using this outlet in order to express complex feelings in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't meet with my friends that much anymore, so I have appreciated friendships more. I have also realized how significant keeping in touch with friends is for my psychology, which has definitely been affected by the lockdown. Family can also cheer me up during these times and gets my mind off the whole situation, since we spend more time toghether. All in all, I have come to the conclusion that socialisation is an essential part of our lives and has sadly been affected by the pandemic to a large extent.

During the lockdown I spent more time at home with my parents and brother. I believe that it helped us come closer since we were sometimes so absorbed in our daily routine that we forgot to do things that really matter.

# data[].attributes.body
While being in lockdown, I did understand some things, for example who are the people closest to me and how important family time is. Also, I realised that I have to get better at some classes.

# data[].attributes.body
During the lockdown, I had the opportunity to come closer to my beloved ones such as my family and friends. Despite the fact that I couldn't actually meet my friends face to face, our relationship got stronger. Consequently, I came to the realisation that I need my friends and family in order to feel satisfied as they do not only keep me company but also offer emotional support. When it comes to my role in the family, I appreciated its significance for keeping the family united. Besides, provided that every member of the family does their bit, there is no reason to feel lonely or bored.

# data[].attributes.body
During the lockdown I had the chance to ride my bike more often and I have realised that it is something that makes me very happy. I really hope to retain this habit even when this pandemic passes. I have also realised that it is very important for someone to have friends in order to share his dreams and create memories. Last but not least, while I was forced to spend more time with my family, I learned a few things about my sister such as that she is very intelligent and willing to help me every time I ask her to.

I found out that I enjoy mystery books and that my friends do too.

Situations like a global pandemic undeniably make you learn yourself way better. You have a lot of time to see life differently and decide what is best for you. To begin with, it makes you find out what truly makes you happy. In my case, freedom makes me happy. I want to dance, go to concerts, meet my friends, go to school, travel without having to worry about Covid. Happiness for me is to listen to people talking about pleasant things and not about how many covid cases and deaths we had in one day. I also made some realisations about my friendships. I realised that it is not necessary to meet someone in order to be friends with them. Friendship means to be there for one another when need arises. In a lockdown there is variety of things that makes you feel tired, and at some point you just need to escape from all this overwhelming reality. What helped me was the conversations with my friends that made me laugh and have a great time. My role in my family is pretty much the same as always. I firmly believe that soon all this coronavirus situation will be over and we will be free to enjoy our lives again.

I have found out that I can be really patient and that I am very caring and sensitive. Also, I have realised who my real friends are and who cares about me.

# data[].attributes.body
While in quarantine, I personally learned that I am a lover of sleep, which I did not know before and in addition I enjoy a lot. Moreover, I realised that all members of my family have many things in common but also many differences. It is good that each of us has different interests.

During the lockdown I started trying more for school and realised how much I like cooking. What makes me happy? Hmm, I’m happy when I’m cooking, when I’m cleaning, when I talk with my friends and my grandparents. Exersise makes me happy. Helping others too or making other people happy makes me happy. Playing with my doggie makes me happy. Lots of things make me happy. Now in lockdown we can’t see and meet our friends. It’s hard but when we have a videocall we have fun and we laugh. My role in my family is to be a responsible daughter and a good big sister. I try to help my family as much as I can.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned to take responsibility for me and my duties, and to be on time. It makes me happy when I don't have to do a lot of homework for the next day, so I can have some free time for me, to play and go for a ride on my bicycle. I have realised that my friends help me pass the quarantine more easily, even though they are away from me and I see them on the screen of my phone. I have learned to cook with my family and found new recipes, which I follow all alone. Carbonara is my favourite!

# data[].attributes.body
I have realised that sometimes all I need to do is stay in my room doing nothing and just spend time with myself and my thoughts. During the lockdown there are many ups and downs. When I feel down, I play loud music and relax, call my friends to talk or go out for a walk. I have also realised how great all my friends are because they can always make me smile despite the distance. All members of my family have been very supportive to each other as we all know how difficult these times are and we all try to make the lockdown a bit more fun. For example, we take long walks, play board games, watch movies and cook together.

I feel safer at home. I have also noticed that I am calmer at home. I like to listen to music as I am drawing. Drawing makes me happy. Finally, I have learned more about my older cousins and aunts.

I learned a lot about the people around me. And I discovered many skills I didn’t know I have. Finally I learned to accept the weaknesses of the people I care about.

I would like to keep being so connected with my family. Also i would like to keep all the new hobbies I discovered during the pandemic. And all this free time I have, to do the things I love.
