The story that has been presented here is based on real life. However, the identity of the person will not be revealed due to the nature of the story and also may hamper their future as they have already recovered from their problems. This story should be used as a story of motivation and learning rather than being used for negative reasons.
This first story is about a young boy, a student studying in Grade 10. He was a good and attentive student. There was no problem in his attendance as well as his academics at that point. As he was in Grade 10, he was preparing to give his S.L.C. (School Leaving Certificate) examinations. One day, this student came up to me and said that he was not feeling like himself. This continued for a couple of days and after talking to him I found out that he felt he was not attractive enough. He was feeling sad that he did not have any girlfriends and had this feeling that no girl felt attracted towards him. This was something which bothered him so much that it started having an effect on his studies as he was paying less attention in classes. He could not talk to anybody about this especially his friends as he thought they would embarrass and make fun of him . It was sad to see him in this situation because he was starting to doubt himself as he thought nobody will like him again.

After seeing this and talking to him, I found out that this is a phase for him. As a growing adolescent, various thoughts come into your head and especially about your beauty and sex which tend to dominate these thoughts. You think about others and their actions influences yours as well. I talked to him for weeks and told him to concentrate on himself rather than others. This was not the time for him to think about making girlfriends and he does not need to worry about what others think of him. He needed to focus on his studies and that is the only way that is going to take him forward because he was giving his S.L.C. exams.
This boy recovered from this and passed his SLC with decent marks. Now he has grown from a confused adolescent to a confident youth. He also passed his high school HSEB +2 examinations. Right now, he is currently admitted to an engineering college and is doing fine in his life.
