2020 is an unforgettable year in human history that has entirely messed up our “peaceful” society. But have you ever thought about the fact that our human beings have never lived in a peaceful world? There are tons of potential dangers we don’t know are affecting our society that can lead to war in a sudden. Therefore, it is time to improve our stress resistance right away in order to avoid unexpectations.
Overall, I think the most important tip is still your experience in society. Pandemic is a “superclass” for anyone, because most of them have experienced such a sudden event in their life. Nevertheless, it is not a bad thing either, maybe we will never encounter this kind of situation in the future without pandemic. This time we have no reasons to be scared in front of any difficulties because they are so easy to confront compared to pandemic’s influence. My dad told me a word when I was young, “Everything you’ve done and experienced is meaningful.” Once we experience them, nothing is valuable to be scared of.

Let’s face it, this past year during the pandemic has not been easy on anyone but as a teenager, it has been really hard. When I complain to my parents they always say, “You are learning to be resilient and that can’t be taught.” After rolling my eyes a few times, I finally looked up what “resilience” means. The Webster's Online Dictionary defines resiliency as, “an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.” I have spent some time thinking about how this applies to me as a teenager, during this pandemic. I asked myself, “What am I learning almost by accident during these crazy Covid times?” How am I being resilient? This is what I have come up with:
When I reflect on all of these things, I see that my parents are probably right (even though I won’t ever tell them that). I can see that the pandemic has taught me a lot of important skills that I will be able to use as I grow up, start my career and in my future relationships. We have all gained resilience from this pandemic. This is a skill that will help us in the future. Resilience teaches us how to grow from negative experiences and changes, and during the pandemic we have gone through more than a few changes in our lives. We have learned to make the best out of bad situations and without even realising we will be positively impacted in the future because of the strength we have gained. Maybe when we think back on this pandemic in fourty years, only then we will realize all the skills we have learned.
