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!

We need to stop stereotyping women's bodies, and also be more sensitive towards our children who are growing up with terrible self-confidence leading to loneliness and depression.
When Kate Winslet said, “Young women should enjoy their life instead of worrying about how they look,” it stuck a cord with me. I am one of those women who struggle with body image issues in a society heavily influenced by unrealistic beauty standards and societal expectations, and Kate’s statement was empowering.
I grew up listening to unsolicited advice about wearing clothes a size bigger than what I wear; everyone took a free ride to comment about my bra and how big it was. I have spent most of my life loathing how I look—my size, weight, clothes, appearance, skin tone, and hair. This isn’t because I’m not too fond of how I appear, but rather because I’ve been told repeatedly by most trusted people around me that I have one or more flaws.
It is imperative that, as a society, we shed our stereotypical thought not just to support women but also our children who are growing up with terrible self-confidence leading to loneliness and depression. We can significantly impact our mental health and well-being by fostering a culture of compassion, understanding, and empowerment.
