This is tragic and horrible. My kid lost the latter part of his junior year and his entire senior year of high school to this damn virus. The remote learning BS sucked. He didn't have either of his proms or either of his upper class Army JROTC military balls. He felt like he'd missed out on everything that he'd worked for his entire schooling. He's still not over it. We did make sure to take him to bigger cities, like Chicago, where they had a lot more open because of their masking policies (not saying that the masks were a good thing- just that they had a lot more open because of the masks than we did here). Went to a few concerts up there, etc.. but he'll never get back what he lost.
I wish more of the younger generations were outspoken against the mandates and lockdowns and social distance requirements such as your son. Although maybe him, just like I was, was one person amongst a sea of retarded minions.
A very large portion of his class are outspoken about it. Some of them angry. Some more along the lines of PTSD-like trauma responses. I've seen very few, comparatively, who seem unaffected.

More than 15% of his life was stolen from him if you put the amount of time in perspective to his age. He's rightful to be angry.
Totally agreed. He has every right to be angry, and feel like something huge was stolen from him.
About 10% of my life was stolen from me, and I'm livid.
IS/WAS because I don't feel as if the treachery has ended yet, obviously it hasn't.

...resentment runs deep and silent...
...for a wee while...
