Our school encourages talking it out

-

Most young adults get overwhelme­d. We are living in such an era that the digital world can fray your identities.

Right now if you don’t have Snapchat, for example, you are considered to be someone who is not very well-connected or does not have any talent. If you are not on these platforms and using them significan­tly, you are considered outdated. Yes, there are those who ignore this entire move and are still able to express themselves and shape their personalit­ies, but if a person is shy or an introvert, they face a big issue. This forces them into a shell. These are the people who are quieter and this entire attitude pushes them to the extreme, at times. I have seen some of my friends also experience this. I, of course, speak with them about it and try to help out but it is definitely growing.

However, at school, we believe in talking to each other. We prefer to talk to our teachers if we are facing any problems and because we have so many different nationalit­ies at school, it really shapes the way we approach life. From Ms Ayush Walia
