Through a several data collection method such as literature review, observations, questionnaires and analysis from the references of several similar works, this research seeks to identify that the pandemic has caused drastic changes in teenagers and young adult social lives, with restrictions such as lockdowns and social distancing triggering self-isolation and deep feelings of loneliness.
