  My daughter is afraid to start high school

  My daughter has been going to a local public school district for 4 years. Some time during her eighth grader year (last year), while she was regimented to online schooling, she became brave and decided to share with the world her newly discovered sexuality as a lesbian. Now during her freshman year, she has been afraid to go to school in- person for fear of retribution from classmates and other schoolmates.

  Healthcare Worker's Experience

  Liz, a healthcare worker in Pittsburgh, PA, described her experience under COVID-19 as being very stressful. There is very little hand sanitizer or masks, and the facility where she works does not have a good track record for allowing enough sick time, and is even known for denying sick leave in the first place. She doesn't have a car, and on the bus people are not practicing social distancing very well, which is an additional stressor for her.
