teens became rude and rebellious during the pandemic, the Metro newspaper reported. People in the family circle won't be the only ones watching this startling change in their children during this crazy year. Teenagers, like with a magic wand, have become sullen personas, quickly bursting out and without any respect for others. It's an almost massive phenomenon, explains psychologist Becky Spellman of London's Private Therapeutics Clinic. In her words, many teenagers undergo a twist in their psycho-development during the lockdown. They go back a few steps in their transition to maturation as adult personalities. Teenagers show all the negative traits of their behavior from a much earlier stage that we thought they had overcome.
