Hi everyone,
There lived a boy who was eldest of all in his family, following norm that his siblings will follow his footsteps which was absolutely gruesome norm of society, I call it a "myth". He was good at everything except academics which was the only reason he had been pressurised by his parents. It was not that his parents didn't want him happy, but they had to put up a show in front of the 'society', which only seemed to care about their marks and nothing else.
This boy on the other hand was mischievous as others at his age and he was introvert or afraid that he could not express his desires to his own family. He started blaming himself for all the rejections of his life as he had been forced to accept that not only by family but also by society. Society pointed fingers at him and called him a failure, a good for nothing waste of space just because he didn't meet their definition of success and his parents, instead of standing by him, stood aside and let society attack him. He got into depression at an early age which destroyed not only his life but would also destroy life of his offspring.
This happens every now and then in our life, you may encounter any such boy or girl next door. I felt this may lead to many serious issues as it effect mentality of a human.
The only reason to share this is to make a point that "not every depression is inbuild - it can be inculcated through society"
And for the one who experienced any such thing repeat to yourself "you cannot b replaced by anyone and no one can step into your shoe".
