THIRD PHASE
They are children, seeds waiting to sprout. They are gonna plucked out before they get a life. Guide them and give support. Achieve a good rapport with them and console them if they are depressed, say that you are there for them. Assure them that their life is to fight against injustice not to give up. Tell them that in case they end up in a hostile situation, you will embrace them with open arms, to care for them and that you will handle things. Train them to say a firm NO when they don't feel in any situation. Let them raise their voice. They are not puppets anymore.
As a part of B.Ed teaching practice, I took a common awareness class for Standard 8th students. The topic was Child Abuse with the main focus on sexual abuse. To make the class much more interesting, I collected some photos and videos to show them. When I stepped out of the class after the session, I was on the verge of tears out of frustration. After my class, I was involved with an interaction, among students, especially girls. I shoot them with one question and the answer made me embarrassed. My question was "What will you do if you become one of the victims, unfortunately?" Among 18 students', 15 of them replied that they would commit suicide without any second thought. This is what they are taught to do.
My question is to the society. "Why do these young minds think this way? Is this what you want? Don't we need to have a healthy society? If a girl is being a victim does that mean it's her fault? Does that mean she is being raped because she is meant for that? Is this what you want to teach them? Do they need to remain in their cages? How far will you restrain them from the evils by caging them without giving proper guidance? Is this what education aims at? What do you mean when you spell the word mother? I swear, nothing is gonna change without annihilating the wrong thoughts. A catastrophe for the nation is looming.
They are children, seeds waiting to sprout. They are gonna plucked out before they get a life. Guide them and give support. Achieve a good rapport with them and console them if they are depressed, say that you are there for them. Assure them that their life is to fight against injustice not to give up. Tell them that in case they end up in a hostile situation, you will embrace them with open arms, to care for them and that you will handle things. Train them to say a firm NO when they don't feel in any situation. Let them raise their voice. They are not puppets anymore.
Let us together mold a healthy society.
