My only concern here is, people without knowing the gravity of things, what prevailes in college in past and present are here to comment like they are the most aware person about the current scenario. We have the police, we have the law to look after if there's anything wrong. Giving opinion is always welcomed but please for once don't be a hate monger. Peace🕊️
The 3rd year girl had already written a whole letter of narratives at NLUD. Now just defend it. People are not ready to accept the hollowness, This place has. Only MEDIA hype.
What exactly is the university doing that 4 such young students have killed themselves in last few weeks? SHAME.
Young people, particularly in early adolescence, are at a sensitive phase of development. Their brains are developing, their relationships with others are developing, their identity and self-esteem are also developing. And right now, when I talk to young people on the road, they consistently tell me three things about social media: They say it makes them feel worse about themselves; it makes them feel worse about their friendships; and they can’t get off it.
This is not surprising, in part because these platforms have been designed to maximize the amount of time people spend on them, not necessarily to maximize how well you spend that time or how supported you are in your development of healthy relationships. Not only are adolescents spending many hours on social media each day, but that is time that they are taking away from sleep, from exercise, from in-person interaction with people, from schoolwork and from other activities that may bring them joy.
There’s also the experience that many people have on social media of being exposed to harmful content, and of being immersed in a culture where they are constantly comparing themselves to other peoples’ profiles and posts, which often leads them to feel worse about themselves. This is despite the fact that what you see on social media is not always an accurate reflection of what’s happening.
Young people tell me they feel caught up in hustle culture. What they’re saying to me was that they felt that they were being asked to chase certain objectives — getting a job with a fancy title, making a lot of money, becoming famous, acquiring power. And not only did many of them say that they were exhausted, but they weren’t sure that was going to bring them happiness. This is where we have to pause and ask ourselves: Are we pushing our kids to pursue what’s really going to lead to their happiness and their fulfillment?
