Content Creator: Megna Rajagopal Content Editor: Aswathy Dinesh Designer: Halima Asif Anam Qureshi “Not many people understand it or are aware of it. I think since ‘Taare Zameen Par’ (a Hindi film) was released, Indian's have started accepting it as a condition. Or else children are not able to explain what they see or what they experience. But even now, not many parents or adults acknowledge or even consider a child having dyslexia. There might be parents who think their child just isn't working hard enough,” says Anam Qureshi Dyslexia is by far the most prevalent learning disability. It is most commonly linked to reading difficulties, but it may also impact writing, spelling, and speaking. It may be challenging to express oneself or completely comprehend what others are saying. Anam wasn't born with dyslexia, she developed it during her on-going pregnancy. When asked how her day-to-day life is, she says, “I sit down intending to read a book and/or a website. But while reading, when I think I am concentrating, the words or sentences start mixing on top of each other or getting foggy. Then I need to change my position so I can reconcentrate.” She says that she often has difficulty reading fluently. This may have an influence on how well she understands what she is reading. She deals with her learning disability by thinking she can listen to a podcast or audiobook. But she zones out and does not process anything. Even if she tries to repeat this, the same thing happens, and eventually, she gives up. “Mostly try to keep your mind and thoughts free if you really want to read or concentrate on something. Even a minor distraction around or in your head might be the reason," says Anam. “It is more common than you can imagine. You are not alone. And while you will have this the rest of your life, you can dart between the raindrops to get where you want to go and it will not hold you back.”~Steven Spielberg It is essential to understand that, while dyslexia affects learning, it is not a problem with intelligence. Those with dyslexia are equally as intelligent as their peers. Gnanaprasanna Sriram Gnanaprasanna Sriram is a thirty two year old who was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral palsy is not a learning disability. However, it is possible some individuals with cerebral palsy have a learning disability. The cause of cerebral palsy could be a brain injury that occurs before, during, or immediately after birth, such as a lack of oxygen or sickness. She had Coloboma iris, because of which she has had to wear glasses since she was nine months old. A coloboma is a defect in the eye's iris. It might appear as a black notch along the pupil's edge with variable depths, giving the pupil an uneven shape. However, nothing stopped her from achieving her goals. She attended Vidya Sagar's special needs school and participated in the Abilympics competition conducted once every four years. She went for the International round for painting in the Czech Republic and bagged first and won a gold medal. There was a lot of discouragement from people around her, but she now holds a double degree in BSc. Nutrition Dietetics and Bsc. Multimedia. She says that her parents are her pillars of strength. Her parents provided her with all the support she needed and traveled with her far and wide so that she wouldn't miss out on anything. "If you can dream it, you can do it."~ Walt Disney She always followed her dreams, and her story enlightens and uplifts everyone reading it. The purpose of these interviews was to create awareness about learning disabilities. To help people who are going through the same problems relate and understand what they are going through. And most importantly, remember that you are not alone!

You teach us languages, And wonders of the universe. You impact us, You bloom us, You cherish us, You make us. You fill us With everything you have, Up to the brim And then some more. You lend us Every shred of light, Brightening us up Dispelling the darkness. You enrich our minds You make our worries weigh less. You are there to talk To unburden our load. But, there’s always a catch. With each cup you give us, You have an empty one. With each light you share, Darkness engulfs you. You willingly welcome our problems Making your thoughts cluttered. There’s always a key! Take a break from the world Close your eyes And enjoy life Feel the breeze Listen to the music of nature’s hum. Take a break from seeing the world, Feel it! Content Creator: Ananya Anindita Content Editor: Ratan Ravichandran Blog Designer: Nirvan Bajracharya “Health is wealth”, do you remember writing it on your classroom boards as the quote of the day? You probably do. It is one of the most preached proverbs in schools. Now, health encompasses both physical and mental well-being. And teachers have been doing their best to ensure that we are healthy both physically and mentally. But what about them? Do they get to practice what they preach? Let’s see. There is this incredibly famous adage from George Bernard Shaw’s ‘Maxims for Revolutionaries’, “He who can, does. He who can’t, teaches”. This statement is widely accepted. Teachers at primary and secondary schools, in particular, are viewed as people who lack imaginative thoughts, or have a drive to do something and thus have resorted to teaching. Teaching is frequently portrayed as an easy, carefree profession with flexible working hours and long holidays. However, is that actually true? Imagine a classroom filled with 20-30 kids. Each kid with a unique learning capability, mentality and IQ. and, you are the one responsible to bring out the best in each and every one of them. The mere thought of it is enough to stress me out! Furthermore, teachers are trained to look out for the socio-emotional well being of their students. They are trained to identify anxiety, bullying, depression, and other microaggressive symptoms. Yet, they are still hesitant to talk about or express their own mental health. You cannot pour from an empty cup, so look after yourself first. To begin with, we live in an extremely competitive society . Everyone wants their child to be at the top, win accolades and that is precisely how a teacher’s worth/capability is determined; by how much a child scores. This overwhelming pressure can be quite exhausting at times, especially for those who are new to this field. There occurs a constant mental battle as to how they can make learning easier and better for the kids. Even though they get off work earlier than others, they spend their time preparing question papers, marking answer sheets, and planning the lectures for the next day while keeping in mind their diverse class.
In addition, there is the conception that educators have to be strong since they are role models for children. There is also growing competition in the field to pose as good role models for students. As a result, they are expected to be optimistic, understanding and happy 24/7. Yes, they recognise that interacting with children is like walking on thin ice, but we must also remember that instructors are human beings. They too have their bad days. They have their vulnerable moments as well. Honestly, as a student I would really appreciate it if my teachers showed their vulnerable side to us. Such expressions can be a form of consolation for students. Telling them that it is okay to be weak at times, to be emotional and true to yourself. Another pertinent point is, the disruptive student behaviour. As we grow older, we have all experienced at least one class where we could not bring ourselves to pay attention, the whole class was riotous and we never paid heed to what the teacher taught. It is not uncommon to encounter a lot of teenagers having a little or no respect for their teachers. These kids can make teaching extremely difficult for teachers and then go ahead to criticize them for not being able to do so adequately. This behaviour has worsened over the course of the pandemic. The pandemic! The pandemic has not been easy on anyone. Work from home has added stress to daily life. Students have been complaining about their mental health being affected (quite rightly so). Meanwhile, educational institutions have delegated all obligations to instructors for some reason. Many teachers have had to learn how to conduct classes using Zoom, Google Meet, and other similar programmes. However, there are instances of students misusing this shortcoming of teachers. For example, giving meeting access to outsiders to come and disturb the class. In addition a number of difficulties they face can be:economic 1. Teaching a class through a screen, where they have no clue whether the students are listening understanding or grasping the concept, 2. Trying to make lectures interesting while handling the deadlines, 3. Attending to confused students and parents even after online school hours Teachers are still concerned about their job security as a result of the economic downturn; they are constantly concerned about their and their families’ health along with the health of their students and, to add to all those we got memes. A study conducted in the US found out that during the pandemic, teachers were more likely to report feeling stressed and burned out than other state and local government-sector employees. A national poll in the US states that 1 in 3 teachers have decided to retire rather than return to the classroom. And what are we doing about that? Nothing. Lastly, but most importantly, the lack of teacher counselling concept in schools is alarming. A school counsellor is found in almost every accredited institution. But, the concept of them counselling teachers is completely unheard of. The above-listed arguments have definitely provided us with more and more reasons as to why counselling should be provided to teachers as well. Creating support groups within the schools for teachers is a much needed step. Recognition of the fact that some cultural groups might be in need of extra support, like the lgbtq group or the black community, is very necessary. In conclusion, everyone acknowledges and admits teachers to be an extremely integral and impertinent part of the society. However, we have failed them when it comes to their mental health. A study conducted in England and Wales shows a positive association of teacher’s mental wellbeing to that of the students. Therefore, let us do our best to provide them with support, help and most importantly; respect. In the words of Todd Whitaker; “The best thing about being a teacher is that it matters. The hardest thing about being a teacher is that it matters everyday.” REFERENCES: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165032718301733 https://www.edweek.org/leadership/teachers-mental-health-has-suffered-in-the-pandemic-heres-how-districts-can-help/2021/05 http://www.markedbyteachers.com/university-degree/education-and-teaching/george-bernard-shaw-once-said-he-who-can-does-he-who-cannot-teaches-this-saying-appears-to-have-wide-acceptance-in-the-midst-of-intellectuals-and-educated-groups.html https://www.educationsupport.org.uk/teachers-mental-health https://www.forbes.com/sites/onemind/2020/10/06/the-mental-health-resources-that-teachers-need/?sh=7ba597c279b9 https://thebastion.co.in/politics-and/why-ignoring-teachers-mental-health-leads-to-a-poor-education/ Content Creator: Aman Sahva Content Editor: Aswathy Dinesh Designer: Halima Asif Take a look around this meadow called “ Earth”. You may spot bountiful white flowers and a few redbuds. The red ones haven’t bloomed yet! The late bloomers might be waiting- to be etched by the warmth of the sun. They will bloom and outshine, ever luminous than the rest. It’s a gargantuan task for a dyslexic- to fish about in a dictionary. Time is the best gift you can offer- along with the warmth of aid. A dysgraphic may not be proficient- in written elucidations. Befitting succor will polish grip, regular margins and even spacing- are part of the art of war. Humongous numerals are dreadful and- the worst enemy of a dyscalculic. Crushing numerals and equations, to reality and logic- is the efficacious maneuver that avails. Contrastingly beautiful redbuds, may appear odd. They don’t suffer, Rather they strive and thrive with it. The white flowers are bloomed and scented, Yet I rather choose the red ones! What about you?

Instead, a person with a learning disability may simply see, hear, or comprehend things in a new light. As a result of which regular activities such as studying for exams or remaining attentive in school, might become considerably difficult. What is a Learning Disability? A learning disability is a condition that impairs a person's capacity to receive and process information. For those with learning disabilities, skills such as doing math, reading, writing or even interpreting directions could be difficult. Many children with learning disorders (also known as learning disabilities) experience difficulty in school before they can be diagnosed. This might have a negative impact on a child's self-confidence. What are the types of Learning Disabilities?
Learning Disabilities: Signs
Learning Disabilities: Treatment Concerning education, to help a child overcome his/her learning challenges, an expert can provide effective learning techniques. They require emotional support and empathy to feel good about themselves. Psychological counselling may be beneficial to children and their families. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) ADHD affects around 20% of children with learning disabilities. However, it is important to note that ADHD is not a learning disability. Some of the symptoms, though, may be mistaken for those of a learning disability. Several areas of learning can be affected by ADHD. The symptoms:
Individual Experiences According to studies, a substantial proportion of individuals who have been diagnosed with a learning disability face bullying or discrimination at some point in their lives. Nevertheless, there has been considerable improvement. Thanks to the efforts of those with learning disorders, their families, and non-profit organizations. And there is still much that could be done. Here is a reader's take on how society impacts a person with a learning disorder “I think the major setback for her is the one she doesn't address as such. She hears about all of our cousins as well as her own brother graduating school, studying for college and working and eventually getting married. She is 23 and has her own dreams and wants to follow the same path but that isn't possible with her disorder as she has a different level of learning. She definitely feels excluded. There is scope for change when it comes to how society treats her, although she is a special needs person, she is still an adult and needs to be respected.” ~ Anonymous “I feel like an important aspect of dyslexia is its persistent nature. Even though the major impact of dyslexia is in the initial phase of the language acquisition process, some difficulties may persist through adulthood if appropriate intervention isn't given at the right phase." ~ says Vaishnavi Krishna, a speech-language pathologist who works with patients having learning disorders. Another reader tells us how their friend's ADHD feels and how to support people struggling with it “A close friend of mine has ADHD, and he struggles with this on a daily basis. I know it isn’t easy for him to concentrate on his studies, so he tends to fidget a lot. If you notice someone doing this, just be mindful of the fact that they could be struggling with ADHD or ADD. To support someone with ADHD, you could research about its symptoms and what happens to your friend/loved one. If you notice them tapping their feet a lot or fidgeting with their hands, don’t ask them to stop, as it is a coping mechanism. Be their body-double - help them stay focused on their work, this can help you as well. Finally, just remember, people with ADHD have so many talents, they have great long-term memory and are so intelligent and curious. They’re struggling but barely complain about it. So try to be careful of what you say to them and be as comforting as you can.” ~ Anonymous References https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/4865-learning-disabilities-what-you-need-to-know https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/childrens-health/in-depth/learning-disorders/art-20046105 https://www.webmd.com/children/guide/detecting-learning-disabilities https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/is-adhd-a-learning-disability#how-it-impacts-learning Content Creator: Shekinah Glory Peter Content Editor: Safa Sajith Designer: Elsa Aziz I knew I had a body, I knew I had a face
I never thought much about it Went about my days like everything was okay Then I heard the opinions, I felt the judgement. I saw images on screens I saw that none of them looked like me None of them had my rolls, stretch marks, or dark skin None of them had my crooked teeth or figure None of them had uneven breasts They all had curves, “perfect” side profiles, and “perfect” smiles. I saw the pictures and the models All with the perfect jawlines and glowing abs None of them had a belly like mine None of them had my figure They were “real” men, unlike me. I saw the likes, the comments, the attention, piling up as minutes rolled by I had attention, but the bad kind I got the “advice”, I got the opinions So I got to work. I starved myself, I judged myself I bleached my skin, I got braces I tried to lose weight and when I couldn’t, I hurt myself But that wasn’t enough I used all my savings and begged for money to “fix” all that was broken. At the end of it all, I had it I had the figure, the side profile, the jawline But one thing was missing - Me. Author’s Note: Hey, I don’t know how you may be struggling with your body image currently, but I understand how you feel. I never cared about what my body looked like until people made comments about my weight, crooked teeth, and dark skin. At the age of 9, I became a Christain and realizing that someone loved me so much that he gave his life on the cross, made me question why I didn’t love myself. I looked in the mirror one day (I’ve barely seen my reflection at this point), smiled and said “Damn, I’m beautiful”. It has been a long journey to self-love and I’m so glad I’m here. I know not everyone is religious so I’ll leave you with this important fact: A person’s perception of you, does not define you. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and the only beholder that matters is YOU. Go look in the mirror and see your blinding beauty, because it’s there, just waiting for you to see it. X Content Creator: Aman Sahva Content Editor: Ratan Ravichandran Blog Designer: NIrvan Bajracharya Kate Winslet is an English actress who is recognised for portraying strong, independent women. Her talents go beyond acting, and she always has a strong presence in every film she appears in. Well, her life story is inspirational. She once said “I wasn’t the prettiest, I had been bullied at school. I was even told that I might be lucky in my acting if I was happy to settle for the fat girl’s parts. [CastingAgents] would say,’ You are just not what we are looking for, Kate’ I’d hear that a lot” Kate states, “As a child, I never once heard a woman say to me I love my body. Not my mother, my elder sister, my best friend, no one woman has ever said, I am so proud of my body. So I make sure to say it to Mia because a positive physical outlook has to start at an early age.”. Research has indicated that 87% of women and 65% of men compare their bodies to images that they consume from social and traditional media. Also in that comparison, a stunning 50% of women and 37% of men compare their bodies unfavorably. We see one snap of our friend’s holiday, one shot of our celebrity’s gym selfie, and set false expectations on our body. Isn’t that disrespectful behavior? We may not love our natural body curves, cellulite, or fat thighs but our body deserves self-acceptance and proper treatment with respect. Our body isn’t just a mass bundle to measure its value in pounds and so it’s time to unplug and rewind. To put things into perspective, an average social media user spends about 2.5 hours scrolling and commenting.Like gambling in a slot machine, the consequences of using social media are UNPREDICTABLE. The fear of missing out, comparison, expectations vs Reality are some of the most significant influences of social media that have to do with body image. Everything seems perfect in social media , from filters to heavily photoshopped images. The reality of vulnerable thoughts that lead to body shaming negatively affects our self esteem and self confidence. It’s time to brush up our brains about the fact that Images are powerful but also, images are superficial. A woman’s legacy lies in “tall, slender figures, femininity, and white skin” while a man’s legacy lies in a six-foot height, masculine body with broad shoulders, thick and defined muscles, boldness rather than cuteness. But attaining the so-called “legacy” won’t bring a great smile filled with joy in our life. 53 percent of 13-year-old American girls are unhappy with their bodies, and by the age of 17, this number has risen to 78 percent. Only 11% of girls in the world feel confident in identifying themselves as lovely. The issue is not just superficial. According to researchers, social media has sparked a new wave of body image disorders, particularly among girls and women. Models, celebrities, charming girls, and boys are frequently mistaken for having ideal and happy lifestyles. This is because not everyone is brave enough to express their actual sentiments and vulnerabilities. Cameron Russell, An American Fashion Model, one with all legacy. She openly expressed herself in her model career as “I am insecure...I am insecure because I have to think about what I look like every day.” Let’s take a look at what Lili Reinhart told us about unrealistic beauty standards and social media exposure during the Glamour 2018 Women Of the Year Summit. “Judgement and criticism have always existed, it’s just that now everyone can be a critic or judgemental and share it publicly without hesitation at the push of a button.” And she also expressed how we can bring change: “Embracing your natural beauty doesn’t exclude anyone there is no fine print, you can be naturally beautiful, so let’s celebrate each other” Justin Baldoni is a man who played great roles expressing ideal masculine figures. He might be a great asset to the film industry, besides that he has expressed his ideas of humanity beyond his appearance.He took a step forward to shatter the stereotypical notion that a guy should be tougher than sensitive. Here is what he shared about his career and personal life. “I have been pretending to be strong when I felt weak, confident when I felt insecure and tough when I was really hurt….The roles that I play don’t represent the kind of man I am in real life because most of the men I play ooze machismo, charisma, and power, and when I look in the mirror that is not how I see myself.” Even when we know that social media can influence us in every way and bring about negative perceptions into our thoughts, we can also use the same platform to rectify the problem. And it is about time to erase the common misconception that it is our body’s fault, NO! It’s our body image that has been flawed. Recognizing this fact is the first step toward accepting and embracing our bodies. Many programmes and campaigns promoting body positivity have been organised on social media. In 2019, Instagram partnered with NEDA (National Eating Disorder Association) for the #ComeAsYouAre campaign to discourage users from making unhealthy comparisons on the application. #bodypositivity #selflove #healthy #Strong are some other hashtags that help in conveying a great message to all the users. We should remind ourselves that the perfect world we see through social media platforms is presented to us through so many different filters. We can be naturally beautiful with acne or scars or cellulite or curves. Let’s accept each other and ourselves, let’s lead an enduring mindset of positive body image and build a body accepting community. We require that kind of development to bring about a better mentality and attitude. We would boost our productivity. Our self-esteem and confidence will keep rising, and we will be able to eliminate destructive stress from our bodies. We shall be one step closer to achieving mental and physical well-being.

Being thinner, for instance, is often synonymous with being deserving, happier, and prosperous. “Reflections are often perceived as comparisons, The mirror offered many a race, They could never win” Are you unsure whether or not you have a bad self-image? This question can help: consider whether you have ever declined a compliment for no apparent reason. Did you say yes? Then you could be dealing with some underlying issues. Have you heard about the concept of body neutrality? It is a relatively recent philosophy that is rising in popularity according to which you can live without worrying about the body positively or negatively. It separates aesthetic beauty from personal value, reminding you that your body image has little bearing on your ability to influence the world. It reminds you that you are in fact so much more than your body. In essence, body neutrality encourages you to embrace your current body and reflect on its accomplishments rather than its beauty. For example, consider how strong the legs and arms are, more than how ‘big’ they are. It is okay if you find it hard to love your body! Most notably, the concept does not want you to chide yourself if you don't feel like enjoying any part of yourself on any given day. You are given a name, A soul, A body and never a label. Content Creator: Agnas Ann Content Editor: Ayisha Farah Blog Designer: Halima Asif “One should not love how they look to feel good about yourself, acknowledge the true shell, not the outer one….”
“Do you want to stay healthy, then eat healthy”, “reduce the intake of carbs”. ‘Go on a strict diet till you have ideal shape’. These are a handful of things we hear every day. ‘I only prefer food with little carbs. What does it mean?’ When we say that we don’t care about how we look, we like our body in what shape it is, and we accept how it is, do we really accept it? Nope, we all feel insecure about our bodies at some point in our lives. We are restricted from wearing clothes of our desire to eating what makes us happy in our society. Why do we feel insecure? Like thinking before dressing, lying to oneself that it makes us look bad. Criticisms are not only faced out in our society but also our own safe haven-our home. Rather than teaching us to accept our body, we are taught to look at our body depending on what people view us to be. What is the definition of being pretty or handsome or having the perfect body? The few things we say to others can affect them. Words may not leave a fast blown impact on everyone, but it creates insecurities within oneself. These insecurities make them feel that their body shape is not perfect. What is body neutrality? Is there any difference between body positivity and body neutrality? Body positivity means acceptance of the body as it is, and it teaches to love oneself as they are but neglecting the feelings of people who are not aligned to their body. Body positivity is hard to achieve, but body neutrality is rather a step before body positivity On the other hand, body neutrality destroyed the concept of body in term of the body itself. A body-neutral mindset encourages people to accept their physical characteristics by removing the importance attached to them altogether. It enables us to look beyond the outer shell, not engage our time, and obsess over our bodies. body neutrality is an alternative to those who can’t accept body positivity Being body-neutral, we not only unhitch from the need to be beautiful, ultimately achieving the greater goal of attaching the same value to everybody. The neutrality concept implants how we feel about our appearances and extends a larger approach to our body- not only the way we look but really who we are and what we can achieve through this body. A study was conducted regarding body positivity, and the results showed that it only worked for people with already high self-esteem who believed those statements to be accurate, thus concluding, “Repeating positive self-statements may benefit certain people but backfire for the very people who ‘need’ them the most. “ We all compare ourselves with others; this is common. But is it always possible to feel optimistic about all kinds of relationships, mainly the one with our body? Problems will arise as we near to positivity, and negative ones will seek up its ways. We should show a positive attitude and accept its true use. Like one feels bad about how their hands are flabby. Whereas a person who uses body positivity loves their arm but should we actually do it, we should appreciate the various activities done by our arm. That’s where body neutrality approaches. Ways to accept the neutrality:
Body neutrality plays a critical role in eating disorder treatment, and the one we adopted leads to the relation between the bodies. There is a line between hating the body to loving the body, and that is neutrality. Acknowledge, Breathe and change the thought…. Content Creator: Manasi Patil Content Editor: Safa Sajith Designer: Nirvan Bajacharya “You’re beautiful,” she says I fake a thank you and exit. “I love your hair,” he compliments I fake a thank you and exit. They say they find my smile pretty Again, I fake a thank you and exit. Living in a cut-throat society is a task Where compliments hide sneers, smiles and tears. I have my talents, I love doing things. But compliments on my beauty? Oh please, I know better. My complexion is dark My hair never gets in a pony My smile is lopsided And they call me beautiful? Flaws are many, I know them, yes Why do you remind me in this way? Call me dark, call me a ‘stick’ figure But for heaven’s sake, don’t call me beautiful. Dear readers, If you feel along the lines above, know this: You’re so precious, you’re so dear
You’re beautiful in the way you care You’re there for others, You help them in any way you can And this is what matters: Being beautiful from the inside. Only if you see what you do, The determined eyes, And a lovely face. You’re magnificent No matter what you say. But most importantly, You are fabulously YOU. And you know what, that’s what matters. To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness. |
