Question: Is it okay for young people to be caring for others right now?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Guidance for parents and carers on supporting children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
section_headers: Looking after your own mental health
section_content: As well as thinking about the children or young people in your care, it is
important to take care of your own mental health and wellbeing. Children and
young people react, in part, to what they see from the adults around them.
When parents and carers deal with a situation calmly and confidently, they can
provide the best support for their children and young people. Parents and
carers can be more supportive to others around them, especially children, when
they are better prepared.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Guidance for parents and carers on supporting children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
section_headers: Children and young people who care for others
section_content: Some children and young people may also have existing caring responsibilities
for adults or siblings. They may be anxious about what will happen if the
person they care for becomes unwell, or what will happen if they themselves
become unwell and are unable to support the person they care for. Even if they
don’t currently act as a carer, it is possible that they may become one if
they are in a household with one adult.
Planning with your child or young person what will happen if you or another
member of the family they care for or may need to care for becomes unwell,
including contact details for others who can step in and support them, will
help to reduce anxiety.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Clearly acknowledges that children sometimes have to adopt caring responsibilities.
This question is asking about young people that want to be carers.  The answer is mostly about children.  The answer really isn't helpful.
