To this generation of whatsapp, fb and instagram kids:
Hi..
I too belonged to your age, few years back, jus like your mom, bua and aunts..
Back then, we were supposed to study in study time and nobody allowed us to watch tv or have any other distraction! If we stayed in a joint family or not, people were concerned about our marks and grades! They had that freedom to ask what am I planning for higher studies and peripa or chithi could ask my marks. We never felt insulted.
We weren't so sensitive as you girls now, who leave the house just like that, having fought with mom or if you score less marks. So, scoring less marks hurts you, which means you know well that you didn't do as expected. Doesn't matter! Open up to your mom or dad, they will join you in some tuitions.
What have you gained by running away?What if you fell in wrong hands? Are you aware what's waiting outside?
Its all again your parents prayers that you came back exactly how you left! You know, your parents couldn't eat or sleep in your absence? Just imagine, when you came back, how will you feel if either of your parents were hospitalized because of you? Won't that guilt eat you up? How will you feel if they feel ashamed just because of you?
You are allowed everything now! A computer, a tab, a mobile, some pocket money, freedom to wear what you want and eat what you like!
When it comes to studies, you don't have to write all the 30 chapters for an examination, no long answers, etc..Some even have only objective questions!
So, where is the problem? What stops you from doing what you are supposed to do? All this social media will celebrate only if you succeed! None of your 200 friends will be by your side when you need someone but its always parents who would be that pillar of support in your life, even if you fail.
So, be brave and show some respect to them! Even if you don't make them proud, don't ever let them feel low.
When there's some conflict, take some time and analyse. Its not an exam to complete in another 10 minutes, so answering back won't solve the issue!
When you know how to go out alone, you should also be thinking about your future/career. So, talk to them. But, unfortunately in our country, still 40% marks are needed to declare your eligibility for a higher course.
So, think about it! If you are angry or upset and don't want anyone around, don't take instant decisions. Instead, goto the terrace or a temple but make sure to come back home for dinner, as mom would be waiting!
