I really don't want to go there.</P> <P>I don't think schools or anywhere people are going to be treated equally. I think everywhere there are going to requirements to be treated with respect.

Depression sucks at the best of times, let alone at the moment with all the self isolation happening. I do have my family here with me however, it's nice to have people to talk to other than the people you see everyday! Do you get what I mean?
