In my country, Australia, there were six long lockdowns. Not being able to socialise regularly over that chunk of a few years could have affected people.
I am Gen Y and in my early-mid 30s now. I was actually homeschooled my entire life. I felt that being homeschooled really affected my ability to socialise. I was learning basic social skills into my mid 20s, which was fairly embarrassing for me.
Some of the exams were easier because of it, and online school gave me access to a laptop which got me into programming and an unfiltered internet.
