Abstract
COVID-19 affected people's lives. This study aims to examine youths' experiences in the context of peers, family relationships, and school environments before and during the pandemic within the framework of self-determination theory. A total of 30 youths were reached. Responses were analyzed using thematic analysis. For the themes of "autonomy" and "competence", the highest percentage of responses were found to be related to distance learning. For relatedness, the harmful effects of the pandemic on peer relationships were more emphasized, while family relationships provided more positive experiences. Findings were discussed along with suggestions for practical studies and further research for mental health professionals.
Keywords: youth, COVID -19 pandemic, family relationship, peer relationship, distance education
