I used to think the teens but they and a lot of their parents dgaf anymore. I'm going with the elders. So many of them weren't getting a lot of interpersonal time before the pandemic in the first place.

I say the oldest generation. They are the highest risk and therefore cut off from any tangible contact.

I would also say the elderly too as well since they're vulnerable.

It was a tough one because and I was thinking the same thing with either children and teens who are dealing with a loss of normalcy, and parents who have small children and/or teens. Me and my wife were lucky because our daughter just graduated high school last year and she's already independent.
But after reading the points about the elderly, it makes sense that they have it the worst with the lack of interpersonal contact. Now many of them can't see their own children and grandchildren in person.

I feel sorry for today's kids and teens. What a way to spend your youth and childhood!

22 - 25. This is when you graduate post-secondary. This is when you are supposed to kickstart your career, but can't because of the pandemic. I am a victim of it myself. So many people graduated this year and not only missed out on the fun grad festivities, but are left looking for work and can't really do the normal things people do in their early to mid 20s.

I'm gonna go with the elderly on this one with the reasons wagonman cited. But I also feel sad with us young people since our lives and career outlooks were impeded by the virus. I just hope things get back to normal in 2022. :-\\

Kids, teens and younger adults are still likely to survive the pandemic because it won't hit them the hardest. Older adults are more likely to be severely hurt or to die from the pandemic, and them having to self-isolate already worsens the loneliness epidemic of older adults.
It is quite hellish and ridiculous to try and force kids back to school though especially when teachers can still be susceptible to COVID-19.

I can only be thankful for how it's bought me additional time but I do agree that it's made my plans of moving out a little more difficult.

I think the older you get, the more ailments you might have.

By far the elderly. Not only must be it be very scary of a thought that this disease could basically be a death sentence, but if depression due to loneliness was already a huge before, it's only severly amped by the social distancing.
Kids maybe, by virtue that the masks and social distancing could potentially hurt their socializing skills when they're still in important learning stages, but it's only something you tell on the long run.

Those are things put on hold rather than indefinitely ruined. It sucks for now, but come on.
You had plenty of time to party before so that also is not a big deal at this point either.

Any age is the worse age to be quarantine.
