‘This year sucks’: Gold Coast kids spill on the lockdown

Gold Coast students have shared their thoughts on being locked in with the family during the coronavirus outbreak - leading to a few hilarious answers.

“I FEEL like I am going to explode” and “This year so far sucks so much” are among the thoughts of Gold Coast students shared online as part of a hilarious and relatable English task on the coronavirus situation.

The unique take on world events was written by students of a Year 8 class at the Tamborine Mountain High School

“Recently my Grandma came to live with us and I don’t know what I would do without her.

It does get quite boring and I miss my friends, but it is good to take time to ourselves and also give the environment a break from our pollution,” one student wrote.

Another, not as positive, put in print what we had all been thinking:

The views were written by students of Tamborine Mountain State High School.

“This year so far, sucks so much! For me it’s like rinse and repeat each day. Yes I love my siblings but spending time with them every day is making me go crazy.

“Now my poor parents have to listen to us argue most of the day and it’s making them go insane. Best thing is we have an excuse to Skype our relatives in England at least three times a week.”

One student posed a deep thought: “The world should know that when all of us are stuck inside, the world is healing itself, animals are taking back their homes, cities are the cleanest they have ever been and the pollution in the air is much lower. So the real question is – are we the virus?”

For some the thought of a full house with no toilet paper was a much scarier concept than the virus.

“I feel like I’m going to explode. My house is full. Usually no one is here. My family is going insane, we have all had enough of each other and being inside. But at least we are doing everyone a favour. And – no toilet paper!

“My dad wasn’t worried though, he said, ‘We’ll be fine, just use the leaves from the bushes’. I’m pretty sure that was not related to him.”
