Teenagers and the Society

Hello everyone.
This post is dedicated to teenagers.
As I begin, I must be mentioning that teenagers are a valuable portion of the society. They have a lot of potential as a future adult and member of the next generation society. Keeping this in mind, I should not miss that society looks at them as a glimmer of hope, to correct all the flaws and shortcomings and eventually rectify them with modern and efficient methods and techniques. This stands true and good for a category of teens, however.
The reason why this is not universal is because of the predators already existing in the society. These predators influence the teenage youth in a manner which makes it increasingly difficult for them to understand and eventually come out of. Their main task is to lure the youth towards achieving or owning something which apparently seems great, but in reality it's not. Teenage minds being not fully matured at that extent, are unable to understand the shortcomings of such acts, and as a direct consequence, fall prey to them even without realising. The time of realisation usually varies from individual to individual, but by the time the brain gets to know, it's usually late enough to not prevent any damage or restore to normalcy. 
It feels sad to know that there has been an alarming rise of suicide rates among the teenage men and women. The causes of such events are mostly depression problems based on relationships, loneliness or a complex with is either based on superiority or inferiority. The high expectations of the guardians in every walk of life are another significant cause of such mishaps.
Peer pressure is something which we all should be highly conscious of. It refers to persuading someone to do or practice something which the other person is already doing. Failing to do such usually develops a sense of "getting isolated" or looking at them with a bad eye. To prevent such occurrences, many individuals resort to harmful and disastrous habits and addictions in the name of "peer pressure". Many of these habits have a long term impact on the physical and mental health of the individual. It not only becomes difficult to come out of them, but also becomes difficult to accept a life without them. Trying to identify such habits at the early stage should be taught to the students.

Another point, as philosophers have once said, "Love is in the air". It is however debatable to some extent. Love without feelings and just for the sake of money and fame is not love, it's just a contract. And the people who try to manipulate others by trying to force love are none short of being offenders. Society should identify them and avoid them as much as possible. Society has to ensure that there is no suicide victim of love. This can be done by normalising the understanding of love through proper education. The fact that it's just a flow of hormones and nothing else, should be introduced to the people at large.
Overall, teenagers are the backbone of the society. It is the duty of mature citizens to preserve their backbone at any cost.

The Dawn

 I did not win over the girl I longed for. Call it a tragedy or a comedy- Sometimes life makes us think hard To try and contemplate our decisions, Be it harsh or not. We look at things from our lenses Ignoring the ways it could be Since it suits our perceptions Notwithstanding the reality. Still when fate makes it destiny, We cannot deny it, nor should we. Maybe she never saw me as I wanted Or somewhat worse, how would I know? Life itself is a paradox with no end, Every single minute spent makes us bend. Human psychology is really tedious, You cannot get into their brains to realize And understand what actually they think of us. A sweet potato may not be sweet, Similarly, a sweet word doesn't assure warmth. All you see is not what they do. All you think is not what they feel. It is our fault of dwelling in perception Which often always end up in deception. We may not see but God does truly see All those sights which we dreamt not to see. A bond broken is not one of pain, But becaus...

An Ode to Labour

The paddy fields, green and yellow, Welcomed the farmer- bright and mellow. The sound of the hammer echoing through soil, The laborer rejoices, despite the toil. The machines buzzing, clear and free Entrust the workers with a new sense of glee.  The sellers and vendors shouting loudly, For their items to be sold proudly. For labour is unique and universal, No force can stop it from being vocal. Not in riches, but in honor they stand, As its worth is woven by hand. --by Sakshar Das 30th March, 2025

Sweet

I came across a greet Which was actually so sweet The voice was a soft treat For my ears to hear in repeat. "Mishti" as they called her, Her voice which never failed to empower The depressed ones in despair To sail all the way to recover. I befriended her for her melody, Realising her power to overcome tragedy And kept myself always ready To assist in her thesis of comedy. But little did I realise later That her words were not always a setter, But sometimes also a narrator Of softness towards a potential hater. The always enchanting glee Slowly started to flee At the sight or text of me To escape everything of mine to see. A raw text of "hi" would take hours, Followed by days, months and years. And would eventually get to pierce The bond which once desired to be so fierce. I was quite shocked, But not more than being ignored, As the silence soared  And the drums of my emotions roared. I soon gave her a call, But the discussion slowly began to fall Like a batsman def...
