How do you think adolescents experienced the pandemic differently than adults?

The text describes a stress-diathesis model where the environment triggers the development of a disorder like depression. As we learned in early chapters, there are normal stressors each student faces like taking the FCAT or FSA and there are non-normative individual stressors like parents divorcing. The textbook doesn’t cover universal stress, which is when an entire population experiences a major life disruption. Many of today’s college students experienced a stressor that past college students did not – the COVID-19 pandemic. How do you think adolescents experienced the pandemic differently than adults? What impact do you think this will have on their mental health, career goals, and achievements? What do you think the short-term (right now) and the long-term (20 years from now) impact of this generational event will have on today’s college students?
