I don’t know what triggered me, maybe it was the article I read or the fact that I was watching ’13 reasons why’. For those of you who don’t know, it is a series about a girl who committed suicide because of the bullying and abuse she faced. Oh! I think some of you just pressed the back button because you think this will be depressing or about bullying which does not even exist according to you. I mean what even is bullying?

Some fancy term we all got to learn from watching English movies or its just a stale old concept because ‘Aj Kal Ke Laug Zara Sa Mazaq Bhi Bardasht Nahen Kar Sakte’. But I’ll tell you what bullying is. It is calling that girl moti or bhens who cannot control her weight because she has PCOS, it is about calling someone kaali or kallu because she wasn’t the one to choose her skin color, it is calling a girl ‘uncle’ because she couldn’t get time to go to parlor for getting a face wax!

PCOS itself is a traumatizing condition for the person and on top of that, our insensitive society makes it worse. From the parlor wali aunty shouting ‘Ohho Neck Pe Bhi Hair Hain Iske Tau Extra Paise Lagenge’ to a transgender on street giving you advice to go for laser treatment, from your own family calling you moti and sust to the boys in your university calling you an uncle, it all becomes depressing and traumatizing to the extent that one only thinks about finishing their life.

I watched that show and I could relate to that girl in so many ways because on the surface we live in this shiny clean place, we study in prestigious universities but nobody knows how much filth there is underneath that surface. People don’t appreciate who you are, they see you for what you are showing. A girl with cute bangs and red highlights is a slut because she talks to boys frankly and even shakes hands with them, a girl who wears abaya from home and takes it off in university is also vulgar because ‘Maa Baap Ko Dhoka De Rahi Hai.’

Our society doesn’t spare anyone. There should be some teachings or some reforms so that people should know the negative effects their words can have on people. I watched ’13 Reasons Why’ and I have 13 words for all the bullies “You Don’t Have The Right To Bully Someone If You Don’t Know About Them”. The sooner we learn about it the better it is.

I still have tons of things to say because I got bullied from a very young age but I had nowhere to go or I didn’t know who to tell. I couldn’t even tell my parents about it that my class mocked me because I had a haircut (a short bob) and it resembled the infamous Bobby Darling (a popular transgender in Indian dramas at that time). I was only in 7th grade and I was not even able to comprehend all the sadness and humiliation I faced.

I hope our institutions and our society starts thinking about it even if a single person gets affected from this a lot of things can be changed in someone’s life. It’s easy to pinpoint someone and call them names but it is very difficult to say nice things. Maybe it is time that we should try something difficult and try to be nice for a change.
