About Me
​
My name is Tanvi Uttamchandani and I am 17 years old. I am in the 11th grade in BD Somani International School Mumbai, India. Teenagers who are ready to become independent and enter adulthood are now suddenly grounded. They are experiencing a loss of freedom. This lockdown has paused their lives. I am studying the effects of social distancing during the Corona Virus pandemic on the mental health of teens.
About the website
-
This website has been designed to provide tips and information to teenagers (aged 13-19) experiencing anxiety and stress while practising 'Social Distancing' during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Furthermore, it is a platform to share how you have been keeping busy. Studies have shown that when you have time to channel your abilities in creative expression- it reduces stress. Send us videos of how you are expressing yourself at this time- go to our Creative Corner
