As schools reopen across the US, many children are excited to get back into classrooms with their friends. But for some others, especially kids with social anxiety, online learning was a welcome respite from bullying and the stress of trying to fit in.
Taliyah Rice returns next week for her final year of high school in suburban Chicago. She's anxious about going back to in-person learning, but it has little to do with coronavirus fears or first-day jitters.
Taliyah is mostly worried about facing social pressures she hasn't had to deal with in more than a year. Virtual learning, she said, helped her to thrive in class and engage more with her studies than she did in person. "For online classes, you don't have to worry about trying to fit in, who will talk to you in the hallways," she told CNN."I struggle with social anxiety and overthinking. Virtual school made it so much easier for me.

U.S. charges man who made bomb threat near U.S. CapitolWASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States on Friday charged Floyd Ray Roseberry of North Carolina with making threats or attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting the use of an explosive device, after Roseberry parked his truck near the U.S. Capitol on Thursday and claimed to have a bomb, leading to a five-hour standoff with law enforcement, a federal judge said. U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui also ordered that Roseberry undergo a mental competency evaluation, after Roseberry told him he could not understand the proceedings against him because he had not been able to take his medications for blood pressure or for his 'mind.' 'My memory isn't that well, sir,' Roseberry said, adding that his wife has power of attorney over his medical issues and he did not know the names of his medications.
