So one of my parents works in a nursing home, and they've seen multiple patients die from COVID-19. They're stuck in their rooms, quarantining, and they're really depressed. For this reason (and multiple underlying health conditions within my family) I've been very careful during the pandemic. I always bring a mask when I go out and I have maintained social distancing requirements so far (I have Prom and Grad next week, so hopefully I'll be able to social distance next week). I only have a few friends who are taking this seriously, but my main "group" isn't. They don't wear masks, and they always go over each other houses and take pictures and get really close to one another. I keep getting invited to things, but it seems like I'm the only one who cares about all of this. I've been keeping this to myself mainly, and I've just been getting angrier and angrier. I love them, and we've always been there for each other, but it really pisses me off that they don't seem to care. I don't know what to do. We're all going off to college and I don't want to lose them, but I also don't want to put my family in danger just to break a few rules. It feels like the only way we won't drift apart is if I break social distancing. What should I do?
