OMG! Crushes are like, the BEST!!! (But Also Super Weird)

OMG! Crushes are like, the BEST!!! 

(But Also Super Weird)

My heart goes.... ohh no....

Okay, so have you ever had just a glance at someone and your stomach does this FLIP FLOP thing? Or 

may be waiting in bus for just the arrival of that someone, may be you have written the name in your  

notebook a million times with little hearts around it? Yeah, that's called a CRUSH 💗💗💗,  and let 

me tell you, it's ROUGH. 

The Land of Butterfly Feelings 💕💕💕

Being a teenager is basically like living in a music video with way more pimples and homework.

Suddenly, EVERYONE seems super attractive, especially THAT person. You know, the one who

makes you forget your notebooks in your classroom and blush like a tomato. It's like your brain

is filled with butterflies having a rave party every time they're around.

Wait, This Isn't Exactly Like the Movies...

Here's the thing: crushes in movies are all sunshine and rainbows. But in real life, they can be

kinda...confusing. Suddenly you care WAY too much about what they think, even if they haven't

even noticed you. And don't even get me started on the stalking – I mean, FOLLOWING – them

on social media and freaking out if they don't like your post. (Don't do that, by the way. It's

creepy.)

Is This Even Love? 💘

Hold up! Before you write your wedding vows in glitter pen, let's take a step back. A crush is

intense, but it's usually based on how someone looks or seems from afar. Real love is about

knowing someone for who they are, even the annoying parts.

So What Do I Do About My Crush?

First, breathe!  DeeeeeeeeP breathe..... 

It's totally normal to feel this way. The HORMONES playing inside youR Body & Minds!!.....

Here are some tips:

● Talk it out: Don't bottle it up in your heart! Tell your Sibling or BFF(duh) or someone you trust (Mother, Bhabhi, Masi,..)...

● Get to know them: Maybe they're actually super nice! Or maybe they listen to Justin

Bieber unironically (shudder).

● Focus on you: Don't let your crush define you. Rock your hobbies, hang with your

squad, and be awesome!

Mom is the best friend!

The Bottom Line :

Crushes are a wild ride, you may not be able to stop, but they can teach you a lot about yourself and what you want in a future life partner (someone who DOESN'T listen to Justin Bieber, hopefully). Enjoy the butterflies,💕💕💕 but remember, YOU are the real star of your own teen movie. Daily look into your mirror and love that person in your mirror!

Enjoy your fantacy....... fly with feelings .... higher and higher....💗💗💗

QUALITY OF TEACHING, SKILLS DEVELOPMENT NEED OF THE HOUR

 QUALITY OF TEACHING 

vs 

Expensive infrastructure, expensive uniforms, expensive textbooks....

Time has come to review the quality of teaching across India. 

One side government run-free panchayat schools and municipal schools, then the government aided private schools, missionary run convent schools, CBSE, ICSE, IB board schools...

The quality of teaching in expensive infrastructure, expensive uniforms and expensive textbooks also need review. Are these elite schools' students go for NEET JEE EXAMS coaching outside or not?

UNIFORMS wearing TIE, JACKET, BLAZER are not helping much in their brain develiopment for skills. Air-conditioned classroom are also not good for physical health in long run.

Shantiniketan model of Shri Rabindranath Tagore is an example for learning in India. Unfortunately we follow Maqulay model of school education even after 76 years of independence.... GURUKOOL model or say residential school away from main cities and near to nature to be thoght of.

Children need to expose to agriculture, dairy industries and village life also, to know where rual bharat live in and feed us.

How poor and middle class students will get grooming in Panchayat and municipal schools?

State boards, CBSE, ICSE, IB, government schools, Governmanet aided schools, private schools, all should have equal quality of teaching as such.

 Are our sons and daughters physically fit?

Parents to become Role Model for Teenagers

Hey parents, How are your children?

- are you focusing on Physical development?

- are you giving QULITY time for emotional development?

- are you understanding the importance of puberty and maturity of reproductive and sexual organs in son as well as daughter?

Parents as well as school education system is responsible for poor health of school children. Sports, athletics and physical activities are lacking in school and in childhood and teenage.

Parents and teachers are focused on 90% plus marks in SSC, HSC, and to clear NEET JEE EXAMS to get admission in medical and engineering colleges.and for that take away time from the lives of school children, mainly teenagers. Schools may not have enough playgrounds and other space to allow sports, atheletics, games...etc..

The teenage years are very important for physical development for boys and girls. Body maturity starts during PUBERTY, but no one understands and take care of... Height and skeleton growth will be only upto 19 years or so. Sexual organs like Scrotum, Penis, Uterus, Ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, breasts all will grow during teenage an become mature for reproduction.

I see in my society, parents are lifting school bag of the child from residence to bus stand.. around half kms walking within society, even for children studying in std II and above or say 8 years plus.... Parents pamperrs their children beyond limits. 

Skipping is one activity which can be done alone and daily if you do not have other friends or playground.

Daily running and jogging with parents if possible.

Shifting Career Options & Expanding potential

 Shifting Career Options & Expanding potential

(During Preteens & Teenage years)

 CONFUSED?

Hi Teeeeeens!!!!,

We all might have dreamt to become someone during chilhood and teenage.... May be Pilot or Teacher or doctor or cricketer or police or dancer or actor.... We had role models in our mind..... And as we were growing,  our dream career options were shifting one by one due to various reasons. Do not get confused, do strenth and weakness analysis for career options in our minds, so that we can work on our weaknesses at the earliest.....

“Shifting Focus” completely revolves around the life of us.  “SHIFTING FOCUS”, changing the decision for career in life. Children in their preteen years aspire to become like their parents or the teacher. While during teenage aspire to become engineers, doctors, cricketers or pilots etc.

However, only few of them end up pursuing their childhood and teenage dreams. Future career choice for life is completely unpredictable.  Students can expand their thoughts, by exploring as much as possible on career options. Nowadays children never settle for one achievement or interest; they always shift their focus, and of course, this will slowly and gradually increase or expand their potential as time pass by.

The focus also shifts due to some financial issues, or unable to get desired marks or due to family and peer pressure, which result into the career selection without the interest. Parents pressure is faced by majority of teenagers.

For instance, a student belonging to a middle-class family may have a passion for art and craft, but his or her parents are worried about the future career and income and decide to opt for career without real interest of the student. The student understands and happily obey the parents to support them financially in future.

However, in doing so, the student’s dreams are sacrificed, it’s no one’s fault; it’s just not the right time to pursue the dreams or hobbies. Others may choose to pursue their passions despite the challenges. However, if one pursues the dream, there will definitely be great career opportunities and satisfaction. Pursuing dreams can be beneficial, but one cannot be sure that it will lead to earning, because, in the end, most people work primarily to earn money and live comfortably.

While there may be great potential, but success not guaranteed, it is a risk. Shifting focus is not inherently wrong; as mentioned above, the middle-class student can still run a business alongside the career admitted in. The shift in focus made here has proven to be very beneficial, as the student can pursue a career and earn as per the professional degree he or she is admitted as well as can also run a side business and can make some extra income and satisfaction. This may gradually improve the potential for success.

Love yourself, you are the BEST!

 Love yourself, you are the BEST!

Daily look in the mirror

and say “You are the best”

Hey teeeens!! 
Lots of love 💕💕 & flowers, to my best readers. 

Have you seen the person in your mirror today, who is the best person 💗, you have been meeting every day!

People these days seem very judgmental through physical looks only. Girls and boys are judged more often based on their body shape, size, color, height, etc. It is observed that people do not appreciate the inner beauty of a person; but judge them only by their looks.

It seems as if BODY SHAMING starts from the house itself. A major role in body shaming a child is played by the parents, followed by relatives and the people who stay around. This directly or indirectly leads to social anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and body dysmorphia.

Terms such as  ‘Fatso’, ‘moti,’ ‘patli,’ ‘kaali,’ ‘chhoti,’ ‘golu,’ ‘baby elephant,’ .... etc., are examples of labels of body shaming. The major reason behind this phenomenon is the unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated by representation in movies, TV serials and advertisements. Additionally, some people even believe that the receptionist, Air-hostess, Heroine should be good looking to attract the viewers / customers.  The most demanding is matrimonial match highly dependent on physical looks and color complexion of skin. When someone faces frequent rejections in their career or love life or marriage prospects due to their body and looks, it can lead to depression, loneliness and heartbreak. Additionally, not receiving equal opportunities, despite of being worthy of, can erode their self confidence and contribute to social anxiety.

 While there isn’t a quick fix for body shaming, cultivating a culture that values acceptance, empathy, and understanding can aid in lessening its impact. Few ways to address body shaming include:

1] Daily look into the mirror and say “You’re the BEST” 💗, Love yourself, your complete body is the best gift you have received from God and your parents.

2]  Positive thinking to keep healthy mind in healthy body by proper diet and physical activities. Learn various skills to improve your personality mainly communication .

3] Look at so many Role Models who have reached fame through different skills and profession and not just by physical looks.

4] Families should be the first one to accept the child as she/he is without any labeling.

5] Friends make you feel good, so build good friendship and grow together. Partcipate in various events and competition to make team.

“So please stop body shaming others. It doesn’t look good. Instead, encourage other and spread some positive vibes.”  

“END BODY SHAMING, START EMPOWERING.” 

And, it stars with you, you love yourself first......... be the best friend of the person in your miror.   

Bye dear.......

 "Teens who struggles today..., 

will be stronger tomorrow." 

 worried about future?

Hello dear parents, 

please understand us, accept us; as we are and support in the times of crisis.

Teenage life is a roller coaster ride for a teenager. People says that one should enjoy the teenage phase but the reality of a teenage is very difficult.  Secondary and higher secondary years with two board exams, how can a TEENAGER enjoy?

Children are very excited to experience their teenage phase, but they’re not aware of the upcoming consequences. There are so many issues for example – family pressure, academic pressure, social pressure, hormonal changes, infatuation etc. Most of the teenage problems comes from the family only, or rather expectations of parents due to social status.

If the environment at home and the family relationships are not good, then the teenager would face identity crisis. The emotional health of a teenager is very important, especially considering that during the ages of 13 or 14, their mind is often in a delicate state. It is said that these are the main teenage years for shaping their emotional and physical health.

It suggests a correlation between a positive family environment and the emotional health of the teen, implying that a supportive family setting can contribute to the well-being of the teen's emotional health. Supportive, understanding and friendly parents lead to a happy and confident teen.

Many parents in India are still orthodox, due to this their teen faces some serious problems of getting away from parents. It highlights a situation where parents might have restrictive or overprotective tendencies, such as not allowing their child to have opposite gender friends or not permitting them to leave the house alone.

It emphasizes the importance of parents respecting their teen's need for privacy and personal space within the parent-teen relationship. They should always listen to their teen without being judgemental and they should support even if some mistakes occurred.

And then comes academic pressure, some parents are so supportive regarding their academics, but there is always some unsaid pressure for them due to society they live in. There are many parents, which scold their teen, even if the teen is in top five. The parent’s focus is on small mistakes and bigger achievements are ignored.

 

Parents should always support and encourage their teen, never causing them to feel disappointed or discouraged or depressed. A teenager also faces challenges in school. Friendship plays a very important role in every teen’s life. Sometimes friendships can be tricky. Attitudes change and sometimes that can affect friendships too or heartbreak.

But don't worry, there are still plenty of good friends out there! It's all about finding real good friends, who treat you with kindness, understand and respect, and who make you feel happy and supported, even one can cry on their shoulders.  And remember, being a good friend yourself is super important too. In the rollercoaster ride of teenage life, remember to embrace every twist and turn, for they shape the person you're becoming.

So, hey teens, keep smiling, keep dreaming, and keep shining bright, because the adventure of being a teenager has just begun! 

Sweet sixteen.. 13..2..19... solah baras ..koi to samajao.... 💭💭💭

A Key to Achieve Excellence

Hi Teens, How is your time passing...? 

Tick Tick, Tick Tock.. 

Clock and Heart beats 24X7...... so use evey moment of this life NOW!

In this fast world, everyone is loaded with lots of pressure, especially we, the teenagers. The tasks to complete are more in comparison to the 24-hour clock. Although, we figure out to complete the tasks by deadline, it takes away our precious “self-time” due to lack of time management skills. This often leads to missing over our own interests. So, how about mastering these techniques so that we can live a balanced life? This article aims to provide TEENs a different perspective over managing time. It is specifically targeted for students, providing an alternative option to handle their daily practices.

Time management is considered as one of the smart skills of the this century. An individual managing time effectively is considered to be a well-disciplined, knowledgeable and influencing figure for the rest of the society. A student’s life (especially teenagers) is full of academic, co- curricular activities, extra- curricular activities, learning worldly lessons, following their hobbies, interests and many more. Therefore, there is requirement to manage time efficiently that can help them maintain their life.

In reference to a student’s life, time management is generally being considered equivalent to that of making up of a time table. This time table usually divides the 24-hour clock into 7-8 different slots covering up just 4-5 monotonous activities almost every day. These activities consist of daily chores, study time, school hours, homework time, sleep and in few cases, quality time with family. In all these, usually, the student does not get time for their own hobbies and interests, getting them stuck in a monotonous cycle of just academic pressure.

To overcome this, if one keeps their goals fixed rather than working with the timetable, it can prove out to be more fruitful. For instance, keeping a goal of completing a number of topics by the week is a good option rather than keeping the timetable fixed with specific subjects for specific days (concept of to-do-list rather than following a timetable). Based on one’s mood, one can understand and learn the topic more fun way rather than being pressurised about working in a monotonous way. Through this approach, one can give equal importance to their hobbies, interests and also enjoy at the same time.

There’s another aspect as well. Many a times, students make up time tables and wish to work in complete correspondence with it. For instance, if the study time is scheduled at 4:00 p.m., and the individual is getting to start at 3:50 p.m., usually one gets engaged with some non-productive activity waiting for the time to be exact 4. These activities may include using social media for entertainment purpose or taking a nap etc. In reality, when one checks the time after a while, its already 4:20 p.m. and the wait starts again for exact 4:30 p.m. to start the task. What it suggests is that working in too much correspondence with time is usually seen as detrimental to many. So, to overcome this problem, one should start up with their routines whenever they feel like doing it. Waiting for an exact start is not a requirement. And, once we start doing that work, we would eventually bring an end to it.

Moreover, when one gets exhausted, small breaks usually help in refreshing our minds for a new start again. It is generally advised to keep gadgets away while studying as it helps to focus over studies. The best break can be doing our hobbies in between. (e.g. Sketching or painting a little bit, having a nature walk etc.)

In brief,

·       Where timetables help in making our routines monotonous, the concept of to-do-list, helps in completing our tasks with better potency.

·       Also, the process of learning becomes fun and actually, we complete more tasks while following our check list.

·       To enhance this process, one can also reward themselves for accomplishing the tasks (e.g. going out on weekends or gifting something to ourselves). The act of rewarding makes up do more tasks with greater potential.

(To note, the above-mentioned strategy is one perspective of achieving excellence. It may or may not work with everyone. Therefore, its necessary to understand one’s capabilities and then work as per for better results.)

BYE.... tik.....tik....tik
