Re: Your appearance and desi culture
Couldn’t agree more.
Parents need to watch whats being said to their child and young teenagers must communicate with their parents if they’re feelings and self esteem was hurt by certain remark by a certain family member/friend. Let your parents take the wise step and make sure you don’t go through that experience again or at least, the chances are minimized. Decide the right time to sit in the room full of adults and choose the right adults to be around…not every adult is out there to make you feel bad. My mum and certain women in our social circles are also aunties, and being in their company is an absolute pleasure, its comforting…its just a different experience. Yet there are those means ones who only deserve a brief salam and off you go…you musn’t be seen anywhere near them. Its bad for your own health.
I really think young adults should be using a trick or two to avoid being the target in such situations. Be little pro-active in your ways.
