Young Reporter: How we have coped with life in coronavirus lockdown
Teenage life presents all sorts of challenges and opportunities, but what happens when everything is disrupted by a pandemic?
I was trying to write this story multiple times, but something never felt right. How can you imagine how a person who has coronavirus feels?After all it's just a number which rises higher each day, but what happens when you yourself are included into the group of people who have been infected? I did not take the test for coronavirus, but my mum, sister and brother-in-law, who I live with and are key workers did, and they all tested positive.You know what's the biggest thing there is to face when you have coronavirus? The people. They are scared, they look at you differently. But I was scared too.
I moved to Belfast from South Africa with my gran in the middle of December 2019, leaving behind my parents and brothers and sisters in order to further my education. But South Africa has some of the strictest lockdown rules in the world, so I have just found out I now won't be able to go there. But there have been some positives to lockdown, as I have been able to focus on my interests in music and journalism.
