Just Trust Me!

"Did you see that? She was roaming with two boys..."

"God knows, what her parents do?"

"Does she not feel ashamed?"

"I won't let my daughter/son get near her."

"They don't look like they belong to a good family."

"We must inform her parents, for her safety of course!"

The biggest problem in our society is nothing but those 'Gossip Queens', 'Aunty', 'Next-door-nosey-neighbour' you get the point. They see things and exaggerate it to such a limit that it leads to greater consequences.

This is what I have seen since past 17 years of my life. If a girl is hanging out with two boys, and if some nosey neighbour or Aunt sees them, then you're done! The gossip starts, they start assuming things, they doubt the girls character, say mean things about her, tells their daughter/son to stay away from them. They don't see the fact that if a girl is hanging out with those two guys, then maybe they're JUST FRIENDS, and nothing more.

However, our society will think what they want to, they won't see the reality, or they won't even give that girl a benefit of doubt. Make random assumptions, gossip to other people, and during this long presses of the spreading of WRONG Rumours and Assumptions, the word will always reach that girl's parents, and then starts 'The War of Trusts.'

"You're cell phone is confiscated!"

"You're no longer allowed to go out with those boys!"

"People are talking about us!"

"Our image is getting ruined"

"You're grounded!"

Parents start doubting their kids, and start believing those lies and rumours, which creates nothing but a barrier between and Parent-Child relationship. Our society so vice, that it can ruin a Parent and their child's relationship. Even if their daughter has been the straight A-student, the perfect daughter, her image will go down, shattering into pieces.

How brutal can our society be? What was that girl’s mistake? Just that, she was having a good time with her friends. If you stay home all day, they say, 'Why don't you mingle with other.' Moreover, even if she does, they say, 'Does she even study?'

'God knows what she tells her parents'

The funniest fact is that, These people are the biggest Hypocrites. Because, when it comes to their son being friend with That girl, they will be the first to come to her defence, saying

'She's a very well behaved girl.’

'She is from a well bred family after all.'

'They're inseparable, maybe they'll get married one day.' And so on.

I'm not here to criticise my nation, or my culture, in fact I'm proud to be an Indian, but every country has its flaws, and so does India. People need to stop judging, because sometimes what you see, is Not what it means, all the time. One cannot make hasty decision. Think before spreading rumours, because one single rumour can destroy a girl’s life.

Trust, is something that one needs to earn, you cannot simply hand it over to the other person, and today's generation is moving in a fast forward mode, girls are maturing faster, they're exposed to this crucial world, where they make tones of mistake. There may be many rebellious moments, those cliché fights, but trust is always supposed to be there.

Our parents want us to open up with them share our problems, but how can we? We are subjected constantly to their doubts and our actions are being doubted. How can they expect us to open up? They keep on questioning us, and breaking our trust.

We know, we make mistakes, we need tour guidance, but you will need to trust us too, you will need to support us, not doubt us, you are our backbone. Trust us! That is all we ask for!

We know you're worried about us twenty four-seven, but all we ask for you to Trust us.

Is it too much to ask?
