There was a 12 year girl who just relocated from a small town to big city , from a house of 4 to house of 12 where everyone are just big and judging. Yes now she is living in a joint family where she met them yearly once for festivals before. she was like a free bird and loved by her neighbours and friend in her little town. And a best student in her whole class and loved by teachers too..
suddenly she looked so small in her new big school and all big eyes at home looking at her with big expectations.. her parents are busy as usual they just wanted good scores in the report card.. here comes her first test result she had become an average student. which was a shock for all expecting eyes... she could barely adjust with new friends ,teachers and whole new environment.. she started getting scolding's for from everyone at home.. some used to just taunt.. which made the situation worse and she even failed in one subject.. everyone dumped her and she has left with only insults.. her parents were too worried and put her to 2 coaching classes.. when she wont even get a time to breathe.. and one tuition teacher started to verbally insult her and another just physically punished her.. by that time she was really very far from her parents emotionally and had no friends or anyone to share with.. she was even insulted by her teacher badly.. somehow she scored more than an average and could get a seat in an English medium high school.. it was even more tougher for her most of them spoke English and she was from kannada medium.. her classmates insulted her, nobody was ready to be her friend.. though she was good in other activities. She used to participate in each and every competitions.. got little rewards for art crafts and acting too but that really dint matter.. her situation at school and home was same.. few of her classmates even thought speaking to her may lower their reputation and she was a bad luck to them.. then she meets an angel friend of her who really understood bit of what she was going through and helped her with English and gave her company always so that none of the insults hurt her... she somehow recovered by the time she was in college.. she continued her studies with better grade.. she was no more an old depressed girl.. but even now she is scared of those big eyes and sometimes thinks she is useless. I wish I could just go back hug that little ME..

whenever we hear someone in sad we try hard and put up all words in us to console them .. don't we deserve the same when we are sad and hurt. we should love over selves as we do to others..
Whom can I blame for this? society demanded just marks, so the parents. May be her whole situation would have changed with someone by her side just to understand what she was going through. or if she was able to stand-up for herself from self hatred.
Do you also want to give a hug to this little girl..?
