“ऐसी मस्ती नहीं चाहिए (Esi Masti Nahi chahiye)”, said an 8th class teacher and many silently suffering adolescents (13-18 years). We heard a bus driver say this to fighting children and parents to the siblings. Each day newspaper headlines silently scream violence and its deadly consequences.
Why Do We Exist?- The Cause:
During one of our many visits to under-resourced communities, our psychologist witnessed an incident that moved us to re-think the meaning of ‘masti’. Five boys hit one child with their closed fists until satisfied. This was followed by a child pretending to die and others jumping on his body to celebrate, when tired, waiting for a moment when yet another child enters the room and they all take out his clothes and hit him till they are tired again.
Here is our chance to collectively be the first support providers and save the youth from any further harm. Let us join hands so that more adolescents strengthen their capacity to overcome negative emotions and find the courage to pause and choose self-care over self-harm.

In the name of masti, students are observed to engage in bullying, physical hitting, emotional violence, and, often neglected but highly prevalent sexual violence. #MindकीCare
