This is something I’ve been thinking a lot about too:

I was not all that social in high school, but I would’ve been absolutely devastated to miss those milestone events of my junior and senior year that I actually cared about. And even worse would’ve been not being able to spend time with my friends. You can’t get those experiences back and you can never repeat them. They are invaluable and now to many irrevocably lost. And when you’re young is exactly when those types of events matter so much more, and we spent the greater part of a year with kids isolated behind screens, all the while we frantically screeched that it was no big deal — like it was some minor inconvenience rather than social and psychological terrorism enacted on an almost-unthinkable scale.

Those kids are damaged to some degree or other forever from that experience and most people seem not to care even a little bit.
