The Girl Who Stood Up For Herself

Aqsa Khan

2k18/MC/29

There are many people who stood up and worked for themselves but there is less of an inspiring story. And in my life the most inspiring story which I heard was of Shahnaz Alvi.

Growing up I heard many stories about her, some good and some stories with extra spices but I wanted to know myself what it was all about and to go into the depth and find out the real story; I got a hold of her in a family party and out of curiosity I asked her that how did she manage to get here in her life. She laughed at me so hard that I felt conscious of myself & I wonder, did I ask something wrong? And her answer made me realize that how cruel human can be. She said" thank God you didn't taunt me about my jobs which usually people do". Adding further she apologized and said” I am not used to people, asking me these type of question so when you asked me about me about it I felt awkward & laugh it off as you were joking. But if you really want to know then “At first it was not easy, I was living a life worse than an animal & to change time made myself keep moving", I got confused and asked her to explain what did she mean by that and what she told me, was so terrible that I couldn't breathe for a second that how a family of 5 people lived in a apartment of 1 room in which they cooked and had a bathroom. Nowadays we all want different rooms for our own. And how the world started to get congest for them when the landlord said to take money from her for suicide. She shared how her mother worked hard for her and the other children. Doing two jobs at a time was not easy. Running a canteen in her school where she used to study and going out and working in other people houses were the only two things kept them on life.

She explained how after Matriculation she gave tuitions to 15 to 16 children and started helping her mother. When I asked her that what the turning point of her life was, she said “when I had to do two jobs one from 6pm to 5am and second from 7am to 1pm that change my life", she told me how people taunted that “doing a night job what type of girl she is?” and “how is she getting this much money suddenly” but she never gave up because her mother trusted her with her life. Going further she told me that how her cousin asked her to apply in office jobs as it would give more money and how she managed to go to Dubai.

Her struggle didn't end there; she had to live on floor without any house on the very first day of Dubai. And worked for the company for 2 an half month without getting paid for it, how she had to do a case for passport and penalty money and never got her salary. Later on living there for a month and continuing to find a job to work and earn for her siblings to educate them and give them a life which she could not even think of for herself.

Her story makes me see world from a total different perspective. This gives me motivation that it’s never too late to stand up and live for ourselves, for our dreams, for our parents because people will speak but they will not feel and that’s the difference. I just wish that there can be more Shahnaz Alvi. So that we can set our role models from a real life hero and just not from any fictions.

Adulthood Near To Death

[For some people life is everything to live up to. Struggle, hard work, achievement, money, friends, relations and this list goes on but for what? Just to live a life. A good healthy life but in a world where the livings are prisoners of ‘CELL’ phone and spelled bound because of many other scientific magic’s the living life of a teenager or if we say so a adult has become way more than difficult to imagine and many things have come up to increase the gap between the only true, loyal and faithful relation of a child and parents.

Parents are the people you look up to in any problems or to share anything but what if someone is ready to die rather than talk about it? Let alone it be their parents. This generation has advanced itself to a level where people don’t know how to talk or share their feelings except putting a status about it.

The more platforms to open up about anything have also made us introvert in our lives. Social sites, hidden chats and many other open platforms have made people more conscious.

These age children are the flowers of very unreliable garden, like the garden is not a place to flourish not until and unless it has its owner of the gardener, because of the gardener it seems very easy to grown any plant but the care, giving proper food like water and sunlight on the right time is all on him and as same as we human also needs someone like him and the gardener of our life is our parents to share, to fight, to argue and to get angry it’s all our right to behold but at the end we need someone to look after us, know what we want at the right time and at the right place.]

Years back, a family of 6 members well established, well brought up leading a very good life suddenly got hit up by a storm. Where, when, background of family

 When the 2^nd child of the family started to behave out of the way and no one tried to find it out as they named it a phase that it happens in this age but the question remains same why it happens? Going further things started to get worse the communication became less and more frequently arguments would come up, more fights would happen and most importantly the gap graph touched the sky. The parents started to worry and the only solution to every problem they found was to give in, whatever the demand was, it would get fulfill and one day this led them to the biggest disaster of their life, once in a life time when they stopped him or should say ignored him brought him at the gate of death as he shot himself in the head.

There are many stories to hear and ponder over; like a child ended his good going (seems) life but to find ending his life the only solution is not his fault but is also the fault of people around him, who couldn’t find that he needed someone to listen to him, not to lecture him but understand him and top of that the most important thing to care about is that he even does not want to speak about it. And not just parents, the children should also try to speak and open up about the problems they are facing to a trusted person, they should try to reach out for help and discussing the issues of life doesn’t not in any means that one is not strong enough to face it; it just simply means that one is brave enough to let other know what he is facing and no one but parents are the only people in our life who would care, keep our secrets, listen, understand and try to solve it at the same time.

Remember your life is too precious to end it and the world is more beautiful to explore rather than to end the last hope of getting everything better.

Suicide- An Attempt to End Miseries

Areeba Haroon

2k18/MC/30`

Nowadays suicide is like an option to every human problem. One thinks that committing suicide will end his miseries and will bring peace to everyone around him. Feeling suicidal mostly happens when one doesn’t see any solution to the on-going problems in life.

According to the report of WHO (World Health Organization) in every 40 seconds, an individual ends his life which makes the total of 800,000 or close per year around the world. There can be slight possibility of more than 20 or so trying to attempt suicides. In the report of organization (WHO) suicide rate has increased 60% in last 45 years.

Going further, if we narrow it down to our country Pakistan, a recent report by Human Rights Commission, 1338 people committed suicide in 2018, the majority of were men (786), while women were 553 in number. It was the latest research; the ratio of last year is still not confirmed.

With all these happenings in the world, only one question remains intact that why would someone do this? What makes them do this horrible act to leave everything behind them, their work, relations and most of all a chance to make life better than before? What can be so horrifying that one chooses to die rather than solves it?

There can be many reasons to do this act and justify it, but mentioned in many different sites, article, surveys and reports; some people dealing with issues like depression, anxiety, loneliness and mainly feeling helpless commit suicide.

Mostly, depression happens if someone faces death of a close person or an end of any relationship, this is a stage, where one doesn’t know what to do or cope up with the situations. They get loaded up with the feelings of sadness and hurt, and these feelings hover over the senses to think with a proper mind-set.

Second, is anxiety, it is more likely to happen when one is suffering from stress or fear, which is likely to happen, when someone is facing financial problems and don’t know how to look after his family financially, job loss and unemployment.

Loneliness is the third reason, one often feels alone and isolated, when he is bullied in public or in academic  institutes, body shamed or humiliated about every little thing and in getting rid of all this, does commit suicide which is just an impulsive act to end all of this.

Forth is helplessness, which is very common in our society, one has this feelings that nothing can be done to solve any problem. These feelings usually come when one is arrested on false accusation or have an academic pressure.

But not all of them want to die; some of them want to live and see a new sunrise with a new start but just don’t know who to reach out for help or comfort, some of them just think themselves nothing more than a burden to their family and friends, and they find death an ultimate solution for everything.

Like a recent case of suicide in Qasimabad Hyderabad, a 22 year old boy named Hamza hung himself and died because of domestic issue, and a well known face, designer Anam Tanoli, aged 26 killed her by hanging from the ceiling in October, 2018.

Almost every reason to commit suicide is mentioned above but, the non-obvious reason which we all fail to notice, is that these people try to find support in every possible thing around them but don’t get any. And we as an audience don’t know how to handle and behave in front of these people, thus they don’t get any type of support. This eventually hurt them to this extent that they try to commit suicide.

There are many other cases, but the question is until when? It is on the government to make institutes, introduce suicide prevention ways and give class to both depressed person for stress-relieve and people around them that how should they handle things with these people. It is our responsibility as human beings to care about people around us. See if they need any help, do they need a shoulder to rely on? There should be support groups for these people to discuss their problems and activities to release their stress and see a world with positive mind-set.

In every 40 seconds, an individual ends his life which makes the total of 800,000 or close per year around the world. There can be slight possibility of more than 20 or so trying to attempt suicides. ( who says? quotes authentic source and report)

Suicide comes on 10^th as a death cause worldwide. (source)

Going further, if we narrow it down to our country Pakistan, 1338 people committed suicide in 2018, the majority of were men (786), while women were 553 in number. It was the latest research (?); the ratio of last year is still not confirmed.

With all these happenings in the world, only one question remains intact that why would someone do this? What makes them do this horrible act to leave everything behind them, their work, relations and most of all a chance to make life better than before? What can be so horrifying that one chooses to die rather than solves it?

There can be many reasons to do this act and justify it, but some people dealing with issues like depression, anxiety, loneliness and mainly feeling helpless commit suicide, but some of them do this because either it is their impulsive act or they made a huge mistake, and other people don’t know how to get help, or think themselves as a burden. (Experts reports research etc attribution bcz this is not otherwise ur subject)

Mostly, depression happens if someone faces death of a close person or an end of any relationship, this is a stage, where one doesn’t know what to do or cope up with the situations. They get loaded up with the feelings of sadness and hurt, and these feelings hover over the senses to think with a proper mind-set.

Lack of support system is main cuase

There are many other cases, but the question is until when? It is on the government to make institutes, introduce suicide prevention ways and it is our responsibility as human beings to care about people around us. See if they need any help, do they need a shoulder to rely on? There should be support groups for these people to discuss their problems and activities to release their stress and see a world with positive mind-set.
