THE IMPACT OF ONLINE SHAMING ON MENTAL HEALTH

 Has anyone ever shamed you online or made you feel bad? Maybe. But most youngsters of this era in this situation are constantly caught up in the role of being the shamer or being the victim.


Good evening, today, I wanted to talk about a topic that is quite the concern: the impact of online shaming on mental health. We all use social media, not me, though, but sometimes, people use it to comment mean things about others. That is called online shaming. When someone is shamed online, it can make them feel really bad. They might feel sad, scared, or even angry. Reading these kind of hurtful comments leads to anxiety and depression. It’s like bullying, but it happens on the internet, where everyone and anyone from the world can see it.


Online shaming doesn't just hurt one person; it can hurt their family and friends too. It’s important for us to be kind online, just like we would be in person. Instead of joining in on this kind of shaming, we should support each other and stand up for those who are being hurt.


We can make the internet a better place by being nice and respecting each other. Remember, our words have power, so let’s use them to build each other up, not tear each other down.

 

Well, thank you for listening.

THE JOURNEY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE DESTINATION

The path may be long, it may curve and bend, but the true worth of travel lies in the moment it lends. [SITUATION:] [SCENE 1]: An early morning in Pune for Varun, who just resigned from his job, to follow his life-long dream, travelling the world on a bike, capturing the stories of every tiny nook and corner of the world which is left unseen. With him is his trusty AI companion, Echo, who’s going to help him, rather than taking over the world. The road ahead of the duo stretches like a blank canvas, ready to be tainted by their stories.   -           ECHO: Good morning, Varun. What a nice sunny day to start your journey. I feel like today’s weather have been cleared just for starting your journey. Anyways, let’s go to our first stop, shall we? It’s a village near Nashik with a population of 1200, and no Wi-Fi, helping you to log off from the digital world for a while. You ready to trade your phone for some hearty conversations?  ...

Destiny Of A Nation Is Shaped In Its Classrooms

 A nation's fate, its rise or fall, begins where young minds first stand tall.   [SITUATION:] Friend 1: Look at all these names. Future engineers, writers, activists... Sometimes I wonder if what we do today really matters. Friend 2: It does! Think about it—every idea, every effort we make here builds the foundation for the country’s future. Friend 1: I don’t know. What difference can two students really make? Friend 2: Small steps lead to big changes. Someone in a classroom right now could be designing the next big invention, solving world-threatening problems, or leading a justice movement. And that could be you! Friend 1: Me? I’m just trying to finish my stupid assignments, not change the world. Friend 2: That’s where it starts! Education isn’t just about books and marks. Actually, scratch that about marks, it matters a little in getting jobs. But what’s important is that it’s about learning how to think, solve problems, and make a difference. Friend 1: Yo...

“ If you are born poor, it’s not your mistake. But if you die poor.
