Hey, I’m Saanvi. Just another normal teenager. Every day as youngsters we hear from our peers these clothes make me look so skinny, it’s better if you pose like this it makes you look slim. We say all this as if being a little chubby or fat is bad. Why can’t we normalize being fat? Bullying your friends for being fat doesn’t make you seem popular or cool. And this doesn’t end here; people are bullied for being skinny too. You may have been a victim or a villain. God has made us all with the same blood and flesh after all. Why not appreciate all forms of beauty? We are so focused on looking a certain way which we now describe as perfect. This ‘perfect’ is actually toxic .A perfect person is someone who has learnt how to find beauty in everything. So, why don’t we normalize all body types and stop making people feel left out for looking different. We all have experienced some sort of putting down on the basis of how we look whether it be online or physically. From now on make a promise to yourself. I will find beauty in everyone and will stop body shaming.

Everything Is Not Under Lockdown
Through my poem, I would like people to be hopeful and find positivity even in the most adverse situations like lockdown. We should open our hearts and minds embracing the reality and finding good in that!
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.”
..SUICIDE..
It’s really hard trying to understand what’s going on in a suicidal person’s mind. Their thoughts seem absurd to us that we often choose to neglect them thinking that it’s “just a phase” or “they’ll get over it” or “they’re just angry” or “they can’t be serious”, mind you this is the worst decision we’ve been making, instead let’s show them that they are significant, loved and cared for, let’s try to understand their point of views and stop criticism.. avoid using harsh words around them because for them these words are so loud that it causes chaos in their heads.
