Can You Hear Their Cry?

How pathetic it is? I couldn’t really imagine about it.

They were totally broken and hurt too much. When someone cherishes so much for being born in this wonderful world, they were regretting too much for being born. They don’t see any meaning living in this world; they no more want to live because one of their wings was broken. They felt that it will be useless trying to fly with one wing or without wings. They were dying every day internally.  They saw no meaning being in this world. So they were looking for the day to escape from this world.

I was helpless; I was useless; I completely failed not knowing what to do with those students.

It is really sensitive to talk about family in the classroom because there are many who come from single parents and some they don’t even have one and they live with grand parents or uncle and aunt. When we talk about family, those students they don’t know what to think about, they get confused, they get hurt and start cursing themselves of being in that crowed. But then to others, sometimes it is also important to talk about what they talk and how they talk with their parents so that we will be aware about what kind of family relationship do they have.

On Friday (30/09/2016), I discussed with my class three students on the topic “I Talk To My Parents Everyday” during Life Skill class. So I started my lesson by revising what we have discussed in the previous class followed by few questions; do you talk to your parents? Do you discuss with your parents about some problems related to anything? So, most of them responded me ‘YES’. My next question was when you talk with your parents, what do you discuss more? Do you discuss more about your school, friends, favorite food, or some other topics? After I finished posing the questions, I gave them think time 15sec and after that I asked them to follow Round Robin CLS to share about what they used to talk with their parents most of the time within 5minutes.

When the discussion was in full swing, one of the students from team 6 complained, ‘Miss, she is not sharing’. Suddenly I felt something because usually she used to be very active and initiate most of the discussion in team 6. When I look at her, her face was blushed and she was crying. So I asked her if she is feeling well or not. She was completely silent with her tears rolling from her beautiful check. I couldn’t ask her more because I knew here problem. In the mean time, another three students from different teams stood up and complained that one of their friends is not sharing. When others complain, I already knew who would be the one not sharing it with their friends because I knew who all come from single parents.

So I couldn’t discuss further on that topic……………….So I decided to print different questions depending upon their family status.

If I ask each one of you, you will give me 101 reasons for getting divorce with your husband or wife. I don’t want to know the reasons why you all got divorce; I want to tell you that behind the wall, your child is really suffering. You have not seen how your child is suffering but I have seen how they are suffering. So I want to share what kind of life they are going through in the unknown world.

To them, this world is unknown; they need to explore more in order to learn more and to be a better person. To be a better person, they need somebody to support, motivate and show which way they can explore and learn better. But rather than doing this, you have left them in a very big dark area where they have become visually impair though their two eyes are wide open with clear vision. They couldn’t see anything from that dark area though they try very hard. So they felt that it is useless, they find no meaning leaving in that dark area. They felt worthless being in the crowed, they don’t have energy and potential to raise their head, they don’t know to whom they belong, they felt they are neglected and belong to no one, they were confused with what to do and what not to do, they don’t know if it is right or wrong, they don’t know why they are doing and what they are doing. When they were confused with all those questions, they felt when this world will get dissolve or when they will get time to escape from that place.

Dear parents, how can you imagine to leave your beautiful daughters and handsome sons in that dark area? Don’t you feel pity? Don’t you pain your heart? I know you will have pages and pages explanations but then never and ever decide to leave our kids behind. They are your wealth, they are everything to you, and they will represent anything if you guide them in right direction. They need you support, guidance, and motivations to discover their talents and to present it to the world.
