My Google history is filled with searches like “songs about depression,” “songs for when you lose a friend,” “songs for self-love” and “songs about forgiveness.” I have found many of my favorite songs that way, as well as lyrics that described feelings I could not verbalize. Singing along is an outlet to release them if not just express them; simply listening reminds me that I’m not alone.

Moms and dads are navigating the trials of working remotely, keeping their kids on track with school and trying to create activities for the family within the safe confines of one’s home. Hilarious memes fill social media that nail the lockdown vibe. The comments of war-torn mothers are equally amusing. One read, “Day 42, still no blood or bone showing, I guess we’re doing great!”

Descriptions of these decisions often use balance metaphors, talking about the need to balance the spread of the disease against the hardships caused by loss of economic activity.

With the added stresses of a pandemic, it is clear that new and expectant mothers face a new range of obstacles and challenges to the health and well-being of themselves and their families.

Why I'm Different From My Friends as a Teen Wheeling Through the Pandemic
Less than a year ago, my friends and I sat on the wooden bench outside South’s library discussing our feelings about starting a new school year. We couldn’t wait to turn 17 and experience the magic of being the “dancing queen,” but we dreaded taking the SAT, subject tests and APs. None of us expected junior year, the so-called “worst year of high school,” to be easy, but never in my life did I expect that in just months, I would be quarantined, fearing for the lives of myself and my community.
