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.

Blah Days

-

  Some days rule: You feel like the most productive person in the world, everything seems to go your way and life feels good; you're on Cloud 9. Some days suck: They make you feel sad and all you want to do on those days is curl up into your blanket and wait for the day to end. And some days, are simply, blah: The middle ground. Blah days are ones where you don't feel your best - something just feels off; things don't seem to snap into place and the very idea of getting it into place leaves you with lethargy. But why are they important? Why do most of us experience it, regularly? Because these, unexpectedly, are the "scariest days": they make you question your current lifestyle, your environment, your life. I don't like the above thought. Instead, I like to look at them as perspective days. Blah days are those which help you realise what you're doing with life and what your goals are. See, when you're in a state of enjoyment or morose-ness, chances are...

"I'm Traumatised"

-

Recently, I was talking to a bunch of people and ranting about the Hindi syllabus of ICSE . For those who went through the system, you and I both know the struggle of reading Sukhi daali and Deepdan. For those who didn't, just be glad. The thing that irked me the most about that conversation was that they kept referring to the chapters as "traumatic." And I realised that this wasn't the first time such an incident occurred in front of me. By introspecting my conversations with people, I realised the term was trivialised, simply because they didn't know what it meant . Google defines Trauma as an emotional response caused by severe distressing events that are outside the normal range of human experiences. Take a second to read the underlined words: severe, distressing, outside normal. Trauma is a strong word. Unfortunately, it has become ubiquitous in our lexicon, applied liberally to describe an ever-widening spectrum of experiences. When you use this word in ...

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...

Mental Health Illnesses=Cool?

  Hey Everyone!! Welcome to Mental Health Awareness Month! So, we all may have a come across with at least one person in our lives who might have used the name of a mental disorder incorrectly. I've had my share too. I have seen a lot of people claim that they are "depressed" or have "anxiety" without really knowing what it is. Took me a while to understand why they said stuff like this, but when found out the reason I was appalled. To look cool, duh "Seriously?!" That was my exact reaction-in every tone imaginable. Sarcastic, shocked, surprised, amazed, aghast and what not! This very encounter is the reason why I chose to write to write on this topic and throw some light on why having a mental illness IS NOT "COOL". For starters, why would you want to diagnose yourself with something you don't have? You wouldn't do that if  it were a physical illness, right? You wouldn't say that you've gotten a fracture when its simply a spr...
