Adolescence

This part of the blog is served best after Birth

Step IV

You start growing older and fight the battle of scoring better; you realize you are highly appreciated on your cramming skills. You lose touch in between and everyone looks at you with “O What a loser” kinda looks. You cram harder and try and improve you grades.

Step V

You move through these ups and downs with people looking down upon you or appreciating you just at every change in your grade. You don’t understand why these people forget the times when there were better grades and look at you with disgust.

Step VI

Your parents play a game of hide and seek where they come out with conversations like “ My son tops the class regularly” to “ My son has been ill for all these years right on the date of the exam, you can call it coincidence or destiny but otherwise he is a very intelligent boy”.

Step VII

You somehow learn the ropes and survive playing the study game, get involved and want to cram better, you might also let go of some hobbies on the way and some of the things or professions you like might sound too small for your parents.

 
Glossary for Adolescence
 
Forget- A common term, which implies that people suffer form what they call in the medical terms as “Amnesia” where people tend to consider you a loser every instance they can a means to let out their frustration at whatever else they are frustrated about.

Amnesia-loss of memory due usually to brain injury, shock, fatigue, repression, or illness / the selective overlooking or ignoring of those events or acts that are not favorable or useful to one's purpose or position)

Intelligence- A condition of the mind which depicts infinite cramming power and gives the parents a chance to play the ‘ My boy is more intelligent than yours’ game and make them the generals of the war where they don’t actually fight but collect all the accolades.

Mind- An infinite reservoir of processing power and memory to perform immeasurable tasks but in today’s world it is used only for achieving good marks during school time and finally getting a good job thereby losing whatever has been learnt and not using it for finding out why we have entered this planet.

Hobby- A process which you enjoy the most and would want to pursue it for your profession but for the sake of your parents image and yours do it in your free time after you are done with studying if there is any.
