[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine graduated in 2020 and no. Their school year always ended in May so there were only 8 weeks left in the school year when things shut down. Prom was cancelled and graduation was held in batches that August. They seem fine to me. 2020 kids were also in a good spot to take a gap year without missing out on much if they desired to.

I think it was harder on 2021 kids. [/quote]

The 2020 kids missed their first year of college, which I think is worse than missing the last year of high school.[/quote]

Mine took a gap year.[/quote]

Mine should have taken a gap year.

I have both a 2020 and 2021 grad.  The 2020 grad had a more difficult transition to college.  His freshman year was a mess and he didn't want to go back for year 2.  He's currently working full time as a Pharmacy Tech, and has not continued with college right now. Three of his close friends aren't doing much of anything either, even less than him. At least he has a job that he enjoys, and it keeps him occupied 50-60 hours a week.  I think he's a slower to launch adult, but it's not like he sits in the basement smoking pot and playing video games all day.

My 2021 grad is still in college. He's had some struggles, but I don't know that they are really related to the pandemic. [/quote]
