Could never think of bullying to be so hard on someone. I have been in a place which was quite user friendly and welcoming to people. And after having some really good conversations with my friends, I have come to know about what all could be done to people. And It’s a literal dead end. The trauma gets so huge that people can go up to the extent of committing suicide. Only proper therapy helps them get better. The worse is that people who watch it also fall into the victimised category and do not dare to ever do the things that resulted there.
Interesting, isn’t it?
Well, while writing and reading this, you and I can sit lavishly at our places and think of it as just another story. But the story runs deeper, the scars run longer and the marks indelible. The parts that haunt people are more frightening than the scary stories people narrate. While talking to someone who saw someone getting bullied and losing her own flair in the fire, I realised that the thought is more than we can imagine.
As humans, the most important thing for us is esteem. And if people make an inflict on that, it becomes tough to come out of it. It gets worse when one is surrounded with people good at the things they did wrong. Surprisingly, other people who think that might have fallen into their place and ended up with the same date also feel bullied.
My friend had been a stage performer till her high school. And I met her in college. The nervousness she depicted while speaking, even in a normal conversation was weird. And thus, I tried talking to her. Her answers came as a punch in the air to me but I got to know other elements too. The world can be so ruthless and unforgiving that victims dare not do that work again. Bullying gets so hard core that others start relating to the state too. And while it is not promoted generally, there is a thing called mass flow. When the masses are bent on turning the tide against you, nothing can stop them. It can only be dissolved when you slap them with a better performance of the same mistake. Bullying is an unacceptable habit. And the people who accept it without resistance are bound to fall deeper in the trenches of it and lose themselves. Fighting our way out is the only effective way to cope up with it. Because bullying gives people a space of enjoyment, it is the job of conscious people to not let the power die,of the victims. Because the battle is against that one person, only support can be provided because the battlefield awaits him or her and not the crowd.
My friend has been traumatised really badly and also the girl who was misbehaved with and bullied tried taking her life. The school that did not intervene much in student’s matters and who had turned a deaf ear and blind eye,finally woke up. It did not turn over a new dawn. Or a new era, but yes it led to people thinking about what their actions do. Until people know the dire consequences and disastrous catastrophes, they will never know what’s wrong and who is in the wrong. That’s why the end results are important. Always. The outputs of all inputs must be known.
Every bully has a heart that they kill. Every bullying nature has dominance that they got in heritage. And it needs a revolt, a silent war. Because standing up against them alone can prove to be a threat. Let’s join hands and stand shoulder to shoulder because this is not their moment to suppress. It is our moment to outbreak.
Take care. Be strong. With love, soovlogss@gmail.com
Until next time!
