HEY everyone I am 16 I am a male and I wanna tell you about my story and its about Covid-19. I don’t have it thank God and I wouldn’t wish it on no one but I was sitting at home yesterday talking to my uncle and my mom told me my aunt had it. Its so heartbreaking cause it ain’t no cure but God I hope she be okay and God bless the people who got it and don’t have it sometimes you gotta put it in His hands and let Him take control Amen.
HELP YOURSELF
- Knowing a family member has Covid-19 can make you feel worried and sad. You are brave for facing the fact that someone close to you has an illness. Thank you for reaching out to us here at Teen Central to share your story!

- When we worry about others, sometimes our own needs are put on the back burner. Do one thing every single day to take care of your emotional self to ensure that you aren’t letting your concern for your aunt get the best of you. It can be something physical like yoga, walking meditation, or an online exercise class, or something more introspective like a daily bible study, journaling, listening to music or making artwork.
