No one will support you or stand with you until you decide to do that for yourself. You are your own support system, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

The relationships that I have fail,
Compell me to raise the veil,
There awaits a strong hail,
But the unbroken me will sail,
Don’t read me as just another tale,
And codify the voice as pale,
Yes, I am scared till the brink,
But I have the courage to sink,
No matter what the world would think,
I will write the story with my ink,
To them, I appear confused and aimless,
But the sailor in me is relentless,
Never guard my vulnerability,
I am enough to protect my individuality,
Thank you for tying me to a shore,
But there is this journey which I amore,
O, People! this boat is ready to saunter,
Don’t be afraid, as I am my own anchor!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
