Body Shaming: Good? or Bad?
-Sukanya Singh
What do you think, are we schooled enough??? Even though we have certain level of degree certificates in our hands??? Are we worth a five star??? Let’s take a deep look of what this piece consists of. ‘Communication’ as we all know, plays a cardinal role in our lives every day. It is like the daily supplement as our food, shelter and other day to day survival necessities. Communication is the exchange of words, varied genres of emotions and feelings with one another along different ways. But now-a-days most of us revolve around certain interaction pattern where one intentionally hurts one and other gets agonized at the same time.
Communication,
the art of expression...
Every
size owns a value...
“Hey!
How are you?? You have gained weight girl!!!”..... “She is sooooo
skinny”.....”Oh my god look at him , he is so dark..hahahahahah”.....”Hey guys
look at her, she is so short like a shrub......” such comments are a “CRIME’.
No one has earned the right to throw such antagonistic comments on others, no
matter rich or poor. These are
god-gifted. If we take a close look,
especially on the youth’s issues, this has been marked at the apex. Most of
them shares that- they do not like to share a social bonding, they do not wish
to attend social meetings, get-togethers, they do not even like to come out of
their rooms when someone visits their place.
Criticising
does not define who they are. It defines who you are...
What
they pours out “...people have nothing
to say different, other than reflecting their negative vibes and comments on
one’s body......what their priority is someone’s body first and then the rest
falls accordingly such as about studies, family, friends.....etc, this is
really very disturbing.”
YES!!!
You are beautiful...
Body-shaming
is not an end at that particular point of time when one does to another and
disappears. This is often neglected but, yes, people do suffer a lot from this.
They are unnerved to such a mark, where they start questioning their
existence...They start hating their body ... scolding itself in front of the
mirror, slapping themselves, locking themselves in the room, experiences
degrading graph in studies or work ,due to lack of concentration and motivation
and finally they fall prey to depression and anxiety issues. They start to
break bonds with family, friends, society and what not.....? It is not
necessary to kill someone by a weapon but sometimes what a ‘sword’ cannot,
’word’ does. And it really works very smoothly. A ‘Word’ is such ‘power’.
Love
yourself...you are one of a kind...
We
rise by lifting others...
People
are becoming technically precocious. They should try to spread motivating
videos, quotes or messages and target those victims so as to revive their dying
souls inside. Instead of insertion of unnecessary posts, people should aim for
a common objective together so as to bring down the level of the concerning
topic. Today’s children are tomorrow’s citizen. But if they are weak how anyone
can contribute to build itself along with the nation??? It is a huge loss.
Use
social media to impact people...not to impress...
A
request that people should enroll and fathom the value of other members of the
society as well, irrespective of their body shape, size, colour. They should be
fully allowed to be a part of the society and its varied activities. They
should not be looked down at. They should be made free from such negative web
of comments that pulls them to the deep base every single day. Let’s join hands
and march ahead for a better society, smiling faces and a developed Nation.
Alone
we can do so little...together we can do so much...
