I have been reading through the comments all morning and honestly the stories about how drained everyone feels are just heartbreaking. It feels like they completely forgot we are the ones actually sitting in those desks all day every day despite acting like they know what is best for us. I am drafting a list of points to bring up when I finally get someone on the phone because ignoring us just because we are young is not a valid policy strategy.

I was just staring at the screen and honestly it is overwhelming to think about how many of you are actually paying attention to this. I keep scrolling through the comments and seeing people say exactly what I feel which is just wild because I started this sitting in my room feeling like no one would ever care.

WE ARE THE ONES SITTING IN THE DESKS. Stop making rules about our lives without asking what we think.
School is already way too stressful. Taking away half days is just cruel. Listen to the students for once!
total bs. they talk about our future constantly but never let us have a say in anything right now.
Give us back our half days. They were the only thing getting me through finals week honestly.
Maybe if the people in charge actually stepped foot in a classroom they would see why we need these breaks. It keeps us from burning out.

Finally someone said it. The adults making these calls have no idea what it is like to be a teen today.
