Instructions
Anna  was  a  15-year-old  girl  who  loved  to    out  with  her  friends,  play  soccer,  and  listen  to  music.  She  was  looking  forward    high  school  and  exploring  new  subjects  and  activities.  But  then  the  covid-19  pandemic  ,  and  everything  changed.  She  had  to  stay  at  home,  attend  online  classes,  and  avoid  social  gatherings.  She  felt  lonely,  bored,  and  anxious.  She  was  not  alone.  Many  adolescents  around  the  world  experienced  similar  challenges  during  the  pandemic.  A  new  study  found  that  the  pandemic  had  a  particularly  large  effect  on  the  ageing  rate  of  adolescent  girls  brains.  The  researchers  speculated  that  the  pandemic  might  have    the  normal  development  of  the  adolescent  brain,  which  is  sensitive  to  environmental  influences.  They  suggested  that  factors  such  as  stress,  isolation,  lack  of  stimulation,  and  reduced  physical  activity  might  have  contributed  to  the  brain  changes.  They  also  warned  that  these  changes  might  have  long-term    for  cognitive  and  mental  health.  They  called  for  more  research  and  interventions  to  support  adolescents  during  and  after  the  pandemic.
