Two sides of the same coin
Today`s blog is about something I presume we`ve all gone through at some part of our life. Can I get a drumroll pls? no? ok its Bullying!! yayyyy woooh!! woo? come on no one is excited? Well aren`t u guys a bunch of sourpuss. Now hold on a minute I ain`t gonna be giving advice like a grandma, although I`m anonymous let me get one thing clear my yaar I`m still in my teens. Anyways without further ado I would like to narrate you my memories related to it.
I was a "BULLY" at the age of 10. Yup now before you go cursing me off in the comment section below see what I have to say and form the opinion , a half-baked truth is same as the whole lie. Now if you`ve calmed down yourself a little bit can we continue? So I was 10 and the person I bullied was a 7 year old. I bullied her by not treating her as I would any other person. She was my Neighbour, and being the only child of her family she had developed some sort of fondness for me. Being in same school, Neighbourhood we would travel in the same bus and she would keep asking me to sit with me or go to her house and play with her. But I kept disregarding her by making excuses to refuse. Now you may ask why did I bully her? treat her this way? well I kept thinking that myself and its probably because I didn`t want to be looked different by being accompanied with her as no one wasn't, I felt empowered to say no to a person . I never knew how being upset felt like , I had a happy childhood with good set of parents, friends so didn`t understand the gravity of her situation. Well now that`s out of the way all I like to say is "words can be vicious".
Which brings us to my next segment being the "SURVIVOR" . So here I am in my new middle school with high hopes that all crashed down by the end of the week.. I was not welcomed in the school, and let me tell you "not welcomed" is just a nicer way to put it. My classmates were crystal clear in expressing their displeasure towards me . Subtlety was not their strongest suit, they isolated me like a person who is just released from the hospital after treatment for covid-19 was completed, made up rumors, almost succeeded in humiliating me in front of the entire 9th grade. You know what piqued my curiosity throughout the whole ordeal was that " why such dislike towards person who did nothing to you?". I never knew the reason as I was too much of a coward to do so. Call it karma or payback or pity me even , but I never said I`m justifying myself now did I? This was a true story about me a simple teenage girl called "khushi" ,who wanted to give you insight of a person who has played both the characters in the play at different time periods and different backdrop. So my readers, tell me in the comments below , if you`ve had any such experiences and also I would love your critique on my blog as well.
Arrivederci, my readers
