Inculcating a sense of acceptance in the society has driven the youth to an extent where they forget who they are. I get deeply moved looking at the number of divorce cases happening everyday in our Indian society. The trend seems to be picking up and I am not here to criticize the lot. What concerns me are the children whose families are divided and therefore the bond which they create with other materialistic things to seek comfort is what should be looked into.
Seeing people in my family going though such a phase, I can only relate to the child. The child feels miserable and devastated going through a split where the love will be distributed like a commodity. ‘How does it matter if I cry or smile? What will happen if I don’t come back home?’ Simple doubts like these start to infiltrate their mind. They isolate themselves to seek inner soul, but what results this into, is depression.
By isolating oneself might give more comfort but it only increases the risk of being an antisocial person. Children whose parents are going through a split try to gain attention by creating all sorts of havoc.
But we are not here to talk about the cause and symptoms. Looking around us, we should not sympathise but support them and encourage. As a child, drain out all the negative thoughts, and look at the brighter side of life which is waiting for you.
