Oh stop it mom..I know what I’m doing, says the teen. Proud mom agrees sometimes but cannot help wondering.
Is he really so old…truly so mature?
Lately these words are uttered often…In a way they are not totally untrue.
Sometimes, I agree with him but the mom within me should agree too.
But, do you realize my dear son…teenage can be a bubble which in time will pop!
And when that happens will emerge a man.. So responsible ,strong and definitely at the top!
In this phase of your life..sometimes you are so patient and at times moody too.
This journey into manhood , trust me .. I’m waiting for it to happen too.
But, life will take its own course and definitely its own time.
Boredom and anger without a reason. And ideas in your restless mind.. their canvas so vast.
I am so proud of the way you carry yourself, the changes within you being so unpredictable and fast.
Friends you will find plenty coz you are a guy my dear, who many aspire to be.
Now, here comes a word of caution from someone who loves you immensely…Select the best…and choose wisely.
Coz now your friends are the ones whose ideas in your mind will seep.
And you shall always be known by the company you keep.
But yes we’ll emerge and here I say “we” – For, though you say…Stop it will you mom..
Behind you and besides you, I’ll always be!

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.
