BEYOND THE LIKES
FINDING YOUR WORTH IN A WORLD OBSESSED WITH PERFECTION
A whirlwind of hormones, identify quests and a constant juggling act while some romanticize
it as a carefree time, its not all sunshine and sleepovers, teenagers today face a unique set
of challenges navigating social media minefields, battling academic pressures that feel like
mountains and deciphering the ever shifting landscape of friendship and belonging add to that
the physical and emotional roller coaster of puberty and you have a recipe for stress anxieties and
sometimes even depression.
Its not all doom and gloom, though, teens are also resilient, resourceful and bursting with
potential. So, the next time you see a teenager with earbuds and a furrowed brow, remember
they are not just lost in their phones. They’re navigating a complex world, one late night study
session and awkward cafeteria exchange at a time.
Samarth Anand, IX-C

OPEN A BOOK

Open a book, And you will find
People and places of every kind.
Open a book, And you can be,
Anything you want to be.
Open a book, And you can share
Wonders words you find in there.
Open a book, And I will too,
You read to me, And I’ll read to you!
S. Stacy Jenita, IX-B

FRIENDS

Friends are the companions of one’s life. They form
the most important part of our childhood. They
are the ones who understand and appreciate each
other. Everybody meet many people in their lives
but some stay forever.
They are the real friends. They are the soul that
endure in one another. They will always guide
us towards success. Anyone can build a strong
friendship irrespective of their age, gender etc. True
friends never become greedy to each other, instead
they want to give something better to each other
in life. “A friend in need is a friend in deed” said a
Greek philosopher Ennuis. Friendship is a feeling
based in respect, honesty, understanding & trust.
E. Krishna Tej, IX-B
