The one who used to ask the most questions in class now sits alone on the last bench. This is not just tiredness. This can be the starting point of depression. And every student, every parent, and every teacher should understand this. I am from Chiniot and I have seen many students here who are even afraid to say this word. They say "depression only happens to rich people". But the truth is, depression can happen to anyone, whether you are a student of 9th class or university. What is Student Depression? Depression does not mean that you are sad for 2 days. Every student feels stressed before exams, that is normal. But when this sadness stays for more than 2 weeks, when your sleep is disturbed, you lose your appetite or you eat too much, you don't enjoy anything, and ...

The Day I Stopped Chasing People and Started Chasing Peace I used to believe that being surrounded by people meant I was loved. I would reply to every message instantly. I would say yes to every invitation, even when I was tired. I was afraid that if I said no, people would forget me. But the truth is, the more I chased people, the more tired I became. One evening, I was sitting alone in my room in Chiniot. My phone was silent. No messages, no calls. For a moment, I felt lonely. Then I looked out the window. The sky was calm. The room was quiet. And for the first time in months, my mind was quiet too. That was the day I understood the difference between loneliness and solitude. Loneliness is when you feel empty because no one is around you.

Earlier, people used to talk, listen, and feel each other’s pain. If someone was sad, neighbors would come to ask what happened. Today, we see a sad status on WhatsApp and just react with an emoji. We have replaced deep conversations with q...

 The Loneliness Epidemic: Why is Society Feeling More Isolated Than Ever? We live in a world where we can video call someone across the globe in seconds, where we have hundreds of friends online, and where our phones buzz constantly with notifications. Yet, despite being more connected than any generation in history, we are experiencing a profound crisis of loneliness. The World Health Organization has even declared loneliness a global health threat. But why? Why does a society that is so digitally connected feel so emotionally isolated? 1. The Paradox of Social Media Connection Social media promised to bring us closer together. It gave us platforms to share our lives, our thoughts, and our milestones.
