Teacher Cyber-bullying

-

 





Something that has become prevalent now more than ever; another type of cyber-bullying, ‘teacher bullying’ is literally the act of teasing them online.

 We all know that social media urges people to act impulsively online. A lot of people make accounts by their teachers’ name or post their pictures online or make ‘memes’ out of them. It might make you laugh or might feel relatable but you need to know when to draw the line. There are some which are simply offensive and cannot be tolerated at any cost.

How can you stop?

  • STOP POSTING VIDEOS OF THEM WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION!
  • Stop posting their pictures on your story with weird filters and stuff because it's RUDE!
  •   Probably show them SOME respect? I don’t think its so hard. They’re working on a platform completely new to them to teach YOU and they are trying their best. It is disappointing to see how we treat them after what they do to help us.
  •  Try putting yourself in their shoes. They just want what’s best for us and it’s kinda disheartening that we don’t appreciate their efforts enough.

 If you are a perpetrator, or even know someone doing this, you should immediately stop and/or delete their pictures from social media and be less of a jerk.

 Its a serious issue nowadays and needs to have some light thrown on it.

    This has happened before and my friends and I stopped that person. It's great you're writing about this and mentioning things in this blog that usually aren't discussed.

    Honestly, i feel the most of teachers' efforts are not given any worth through online classes and it's important we as students appreciate everything they're trying to do for us.

    Novel topic, novel problem, an important one to bring up nevertheless. Public pressure to behave well, and the fear of social shame is the best antidote to bad behaviour.

    Teachers have been the mainstays of civilizations. Unless they educate the next generation, the society cannot move forward, since they are the one teaching to make a doctor, engineer, law maker or a civil servant. So to insult a teacher is ultimately going to end in loss of proper education.
    In the current scenario, the way the teachers had to adapt to a complete overhaul of teaching medium is praiseworthy. Suddenly, they had to change their entire teaching module to a tech savvy distance learning way, and they have come up with novel ways. So, kudos to all the educators out there!
    Well done Kuhu, for your thoughtfulness to come out in support of all the teachers.

The Broken Hot Chocolate Machine

 I've been in college for about over a month now. In the 40 days I've spent here, I've visited the food hall over 100 times - of which the Hot chocolate machine has been broken for over 90. Bombay's humidity was quickly replaced by Boston's "Fall" (it's winter guys) and the only thing helping me through the transition was a cup of hot chocolate every morning. But about 2 weeks in, the hot chocolate machine broke.       Initially, a piece of paper, closely stuck by tape, lay pressed against the machine: " Hot Chocolate Machine is Broken! "  4 weeks in, it's now a laminated sheet of paper, carefully stuck to the machine. Someone took the time to type it out onto a computer, print it, cut it, have it laminated, and stick it up to the machine. Do you know what they could be doing in that time? (Hint: getting the machine fixed!) This post is not about the machine. (Obviously Kuhu, it's a Mental Health blog - get to the point!) We often pro

The Constant Comparison Circle

"Wish I had hair like them." "How do they manage being the best at EVERYTHING?" "They're so fit  - look at me: a couch potato" We've all compared ourselves with the people around us. We all compare ourselves with the people around us. We get jealous, begrudged and green with envy. And sometimes we just smile to not let the world know. We get insecure. We feel bad. But what we always forget to accept is the state of the situation. Our situation - their situation. Literally no one out there is a 100% happy with their lives. And, unlike the cliches, maybe we shouldn't be.  Who said that you have to be happy all the time? If you're happy all the time then how do you become a better version of yourself? There will always be someone smarter, richer, more popular, and better-looking than you. Healthy competition is good. It's not a bad thing to have people be better than you. It's a bad thing if you accept that you can never work hard and

Consistency and the 4 Year Special

“Isn’t it funny how, day by day, nothing changes, but when we look back, everything is different.” -C.S. Lewis If you go to the gym for the first time, and you work out, and you come back, you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. If you go to the gym the next day, and you come back, and you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. Clearly, there are no results, can't be measured, it must not be effective, right? This is the thought that often leads to us quitting. The problem doesn't solely lie in the lack of patience, but rather, in the lack of material. If we don't see it, we tend to believe it doesn't exist. That's where we get it wrong. "Good things take time. Getting better takes time. Building a habit takes time." But they also take consistency.  Going to the gym for nine hours does for a day not get you into shape. Working out every day for 30 minutes gets you into shape. Studying a chapter one night before may work (sometimes); but in t

Is a Fresh Start Always the Best Thing?

-

 Before starting Junior year, I pledged to myself that I would make it "my year." I would study super hard, I'd make a million friends, and I'd come under the teacher's radar. Jump to September 2022,  I was burnt out. Walking back home with earphones plugged in, I remembered the first line of this post. And then I also realised how incredibly stupid it was of me to think I could ever accomplish it. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't stupid because it was unattainable; it was stupid because it was unsustainable. Many a time, when we wish to just give up everything and "move on" ( start completely fresh), we tend to forget our past and our learnings from it. That is (one of) the biggest mistake we as humans make. Rather than acknowledging a fact, we tend to ignore it and act like nothing happened because after all, Ignorance is Bliss, na? A fresh start shouldn't mean giving up your whole life in pursuit of something new. A fresh start is when yo
