Written by The corridors of schools echo with laughter, the playgrounds buzz with youthful energy, and tuition centers brim with the whispers of last-minute revisions. However, amidst the hustle and bustle lies pain that is often ignored. Many teenagers face bullying and abuse in schools, tuition centers, and even in the very play areas meant to be their safe havens. The worst part? Fear strikes them, forcing them into a painful silence, unable to seek help from parents, teachers, or guardians.
Bullying isn’t just about a few harsh words or playful teasing; It cuts deeper than that to become an injury that is far worse than one can imagine it to be. There are various forms of bullying like insults, negative comments on social media, exclusion from groups, and even physical violence. Many teens replay the hurtful phrases in their mind which results in immense mental suffering that goes unnoticed. While others suffer from depression due to the immense pressure leading to their self-confidence and self-worth to depleted completely. Emotional as well as physical abuse lead to permanent scars with no visible signs destroying their confidence.
A bright, cheerful student who is always excited about school, and always brimming with curiosity. Slowly, you notice changes: they withdraw from conversations, their results drop drastically, and their laughter fades. They start avoiding school, making excuses, and hiding behind the walls of silence. Their world, once vibrant, becomes dull and suffocating. The burden of bullying and abuse doesn’t just break spirits; it steals childhoods.
But why do these young victims remain silent? Fear. Fear of being labeled weak. Fear of being ignored. Fear of retaliation. They believe that speaking up might make things worse. “Maybe it’s my fault,” some think. “Maybe I deserve this.” These thoughts, though untrue, become their reality, trapping them in an endless cycle of suffering.
Parents and teachers, often lost in the daily hustle, fail to notice the signs. Sometimes, they dismiss concerns as “just kids being kids.” But bullying isn’t harmless fun it’s a deep wound that festers with time. Victims are left feeling helpless, drowning in their emotions with no lifeboat in sight.

In the upcoming parts, we will delve deeper into the problems, uncover the devastating impact of bullying, and explore ways to support and heal those who have suffered.

Every teen deserves to feel safe. Every voice deserves to be heard. And every silent scream deserves an answer. It’s time to break the cycle. It’s time to listen. It’s time to change the narrative.
