Definitely. A concussion protocol went on at my school. It started in June, and I would try to go back for my first class of the day and see how I would react to that kind of stimulation. I was out of school for five months, and I didn't see the people I would see every day. People thought I had transferred schools and were surprised I still went there.
At home all I could think about was how badly I wanted to go back to school, and that's not a normal thought for a grade 11 student. I don't think you want to go to school. Then when you go back to school people are surprised you still go there. They have no idea what you've been going through. I think that definitely has an effect.
A lot of people, especially people who don't play sports, wouldn't know what a concussion is like, and even people who do play sports who haven't had a concussion wouldn't know what the symptoms are like. I feel it's one of the things you don't know how to relate to, or what someone is going through unless you've experienced it yourself.
