COVID Young Person Reflective Interview
Please Report the Errrors?
so happy, to be honest.
Happy? Yeah, I felt happy
I went to school,
but, uh,
bit worried.
Yeah,
about what was gonna happen for enough.
Yeah, But it wasn't. It wasn't too bad.
No. And then what sort of things?
When you were going through that first lockdown
where everyone basically had to stay at home,
What were the sort of things?
Oh, yeah. Thank you. Thanks so much.
Um,
so how did it
when you, um
when you were going through it and sitting home? What sort of things did you get up to?
Uh,
I used to because,
um, I have this, like, Forest Place next to my house. And
me and my brothers and
sisters. She used to always go on, like, walks in there and stuff.
No one really goes in there. So
it was It was a good thing to do.
Or we would go in the back garden
and, uh, have, like,
spend some time in the back garden,
But most of the time,
And then
that was it.
Yeah. And what was What was that? Like spending that time with them?
It it was nice. It was nice, to be honest. Yeah, because I've I've not really
got a bit boring at times.
Quite boring.
Um, but
I always found something to do.
Yeah,
I guess.
Yeah. And how did you like? What did you do? Um,
like, for yourself as well. So you were spending time with people
like you could be around you. What were you doing? Like
when you were just alone? Like, did you enjoy what you were doing?
Was it, like, nice or well,
I Well, obviously, I started doing Tik tok, so
I got a bit. I got quite a lot of followers on there from it, Um,
and then
I kinda
I kinda I kind of found myself a little bit from making tiktok.
You know, I I found I found a new style, um,
and everything.
So So, Yeah, that was That was
what was that sort of style? What did you discover
that?
Well, I'm more Well, I used to dress dress up from just all black and
basic hoodies and stuff. I started dressing up in like, um,
demon short
shorts, demon jackets and
and stuff like that.
And more colourful things,
I guess. So Did you,
um,
like,
what
have you thought about maybe, why it was easier for me to do that in lockdown.
I think maybe because, like,
not everyone was around to judge me and not everyone was like,
Why are you wearing that? Why are you wearing that? Do you know what I mean?
Sure. So when everything sort of eased off,
um,
and you were, like, allowed back outside.
And did you kind of keep that, or was there something like
to me? What you sort of feel? I
did keep it. But then obviously, people started seeing stuff like
why? What? What's that about? Like, just looks stupid.
And what's that? I did lose interest in the style, and I back to
Black and Grey, but, um,
no. Yeah, it was It was It was nice having that style for that amount of time.
Yeah. And do you think,
like, what was your feeling coming out of it all in relation to sort of
everything Sort of easing off and being able to go back outside.
Glad.
Yeah, definitely glad
being able to go back out and meet your mates all the time.
It was It was definitely a good, good good feeling.
Yeah, and What was your feeling? Kind of going back to a form of education as well.
I was happy, to be honest, to be going back to school, Um,
mostly to see everyone.
Um,
but
it was It was a bit rocky at the start,
at least because I I hadn't been at school for a while.
Um,
and then
obviously from that rocking extend it look like
getting kicked out
because
I lost, like, control of myself because I haven't been there for so long.
Um, so that's one bad thing about another bad thing about
it,
is it? Got me, Uh,
my behaviour
more wild
than it should have been.
More thorough.
Yeah.
And you with everything.
With everything easing off now, like with restrictions basically lifted.
How do How does that feel?
It feels good. I can find the go places. I can go for meals.
Uh, I can go out with my mates, go shop at centre,
go shopping.
It's good. It's nice.
Whatever.
Yeah.
So the last sort of thing, If you could
If you could ring
you
in March 2020 when everything was just locking down, what advice would you give me?
That's our question. Um,
definitely. I would tell myself to enjoy it more than I did,
because
even though it was boring at times and all that it was, it was quite a good summer.
Spending time with my family.
Um,
I tell myself to carry on doing Tik toks and not to, like, stop doing them.
Maybe
just not to worry as much, because now it's over. I've realised
it's all It's all all right now,
Um,
I would have told myself to actually leave the school work as well.
