Raising Children
- Surabhi Ghimire - 26012, Grad ... 16 November, 2022

Raising children is not an easy thing, although it may seem like it to some people. What does it mean to raise children or to become a parent? It requires time, care, engagement, love, support and understanding situations, how the child will react to a type of behavior. The process of taking care of one from birth to self-dependent adulthood. Raising one can cause them to be like you if you’re viewed as a role model. Fixing your bad habits and traits before becoming a parent will cause the child to be better. Also, what should be kept in mind is that the child is an individual human being too. Usually, parents forget this and realize later on. Time you give the child is going to affect them a lot. If you were absent all their childhood and try to communicate when they’re older it will not work. Parenting is defined as the process of raising children by supporting their physical, emotional, social, moral and intellectual development from infancy to adulthood. If you, as a parent, have no time for your child and do not try to make some whatsoever, I’m sorry but that can not be called parenting. It’s okay if you’re too busy with work but weekends exist. Spending time with your child should not be considered something that makes you tired, it makes it sound like a burden.

When you become a parent the number of responsibilities you have as a person increases. First, what most people don’t consider is their mental health before becoming a parent. Your mental health, if it is bad then the child will get affected by it even without you realizing it. The first and foremost movement for being a good parent is to make sure your mental health is alright before deciding to give birth. Then, if you are financially able or not. For example; the monetary needs have increased because of the child and you did not think of it before. The causes :
1. The child grows up in a bad environment filled with constant quarrels about money.
2. Never asking for gifts because of the cost.
3.They will try to avoid everything related to family.
4. Develop anger issues.

These things mentioned above will cause the child and parent relationship to grow distant. Let’s say you did everything right before giving birth to the child. Even after that, there are a lot of things to keep in mind while they are developing. Bad parenting can cause mental health issues. After becoming a parent and giving birth, first of all understand that the child’s life is not anything you are allowed to control, for example their job when they grow up. Planning their life before they are even born or start having interests. You are allowed to have expectations but do not mention it to them or force them into it. Let them do what they want. You will be gone when they become a proper adult. They will have to live decades after you leave, even though it is hard to process. Parents have to realize that the trauma caused to their children will definitely reflect on their adult lives and ultimately their relationship with their partners and the parents themselves. Besides providing basic necessities parents also must provide a loving and a safe environment for their child.

गिजाकाे पिरामिड
- Sauharda Bajracharya - 26010, ... 15 November, 2022

हामी सबैले गिजाको पिरामिडहरूका बारेमा सुनेका छौं तर यी रहस्यमय ढुङ्गा त्रिकोणहरूका निर्माण गरे ? 
इजिप्ट देशमा लगभग ८० पिरामिडहरू छन् तर यी पिरामिडहरू बनाइए किन ? पुरातन इजिप्टियनहरू पहिलो व्यक्तिहरू थिए जसले मृत्युपछिको जीवनना विश्वास गर्थे । उनीहरुका अनुसार कसैको मृत्यु भएपछि उनीहरूको आत्मा अक्षुण्ण रहन्थ्यो । उनीहरूको यही विश्वासअनुसार उनीहरूले राजाका भौतिक शरीरलाई सेतो कपडामा बाँधेर यी पिरामिडहरू भित्र राख्थे । यो प्रक्रियालाई ममिफिकेशन प्रक्रिया भनिन्थ्यो र इजिप्टियनहरूका अनुसार ममिफिकेशन प्रक्रियाले फिरउन(राजा)को मृत्युपछि तिनीहरूको आत्मालाई जोगाउने उद्देश्य पूरा गर्थ्यो । फिरउनलाई ममिफाई गर्दा सुनका गहना, भाँडाकुँडा, खानेकुरा आदिसहित कफिन(चिहान)मा राखिन्थ्यो । यदि फिरउनले पाप गरेको थियो भने त्यो फिरउनको चिहान खोल्ने मानिसलाई अशुभ संकेत लाग्थ्यो भन्ने पहिले विश्वास थियो । यो केही हदसम्म सत्य साबित पनि भयो । जब हावर्ड कार्टरले टुतानखामुनको चिहान उत्खनन गरे र उनको टोलीका सबै सदस्यहरू बिस्तारै एक पछि एक गर्दै मर्न थाले । तर वास्तवमा यी श्रापित पिरामिडहरू कसले बनाए ? पिरामिडहरू कसले वा कसरी बनाए भनेर हामीलाई बताउन कोही पनि बाँचेनन् र यस कारणले गर्दा यी अनगिन्ती षडयन्त्रहरूको विषय हो । षड्यन्त्रका पक्षपातिहरूले सुझाव दिन्छन् कि एलियन्स वा एक्स्ट्राटेरेस्ट्रियल जीवनले यी पिरामिडहरू बनाएका हुन् । पिरामिडमा रहेको सटीकताको हेर्दा खेरी ५००० वर्ष अगाडि जम्मा हथौडा र छेनीले त बनाएको होइन जस्तो देखिन्छ भन्ने उनीहरूको भनाइ छ । एउटा पिरामिड बनाउन करिब २ करोड ढुङ्गाहरू लागेका अनुमान गरेका थिए तर इजिप्टमा धेरै ढुङ्गाहरू भएकाले एलियन्स वा एक्स्ट्राटेरिअल जीवनले यस्ता रहस्यमय चीजहरू बनाएको हो भन्न सम्भवतः छैन । कोही भन्छन् कि पिरामिडहरू लाखौं दासहरूले बनाएका थिए । तर हालैका अध्ययनहरूले देखाउँछन् कि पिरामिडहरू दक्ष कामदारहरूले बनाएका थिए । पिरामिडहरूको भित्र राजाको सट्टा अरू चिहानहरू पनि छन् र यी चिहानहरू अनुमान लगाउँदा निर्माणकर्ताहरूनै चिहानहरू हुन् भनिन्छ । यदि निर्माणकर्ताहरू दास भएका भए उनीहरूले यस्तो चिहान पाउने थिएनन् । पिरामिडको भित्री भाग चुनढुङ्गाले बनेको थियो तर बाहिरी भाग ग्रेनाइटले बनेको थियो । मानव सभ्यतादेखि समतल मरुभूमिसम्म मानिसहरूले यी ढुङ्गाहरू बोकेर पिरामिड बनाएका भनेर विश्वास हुँदैन । यी ढुङ्गाहरू सार्नको लागि कुनै प्रकारको यातायातको माध्यम त हुनै पर्थ्याे । कसैले भन्छन् ढुङ्गा बोक्न वाहन बनाएर मरुभूमिबाट चलाइएको थियो । कोही भन्छन् नहर बनाएर नाइल नदीको पानीबाट ढुङ्गाहरू पार गरेको थियो । तर उनीहरूले पिरामिडको ढुङ्गाहरूको आकारलाई वर्ग कसरी बनाए ? धेरैले भन्छन् की पिरामिडलाई यस्तो आकारमा ल्याउन मानिसहरूले ठूला चट्टानहरूलाई साना ढुङ्गाहरूले हाने । पिरामिडको ढलान बनाउन कामदारहरूले र्‍याम्पहरू प्रयोग गरेको कुनै अपुरो पिरामिडहरूमा पनि देख्न सकिन्छ । पिरामिड हजारौँ वर्षअगाडि बनेकै कारणले यिनीहरूको रङ्ग हराएर खैरो भएको हाे ।सर्वप्रथम पिरामिड बनाउँदा त्यसको रङ्ग सेतो थियो र त्यो सेतो रङ्गले घामको प्रकाश प्रतिबिम्बित गर्थ्याे । यदि हामी त्यो युगमा जन्मेका भए हामीले सूर्यको किरणहरू प्रतिबिम्बित भएको रमणीय दृश्य हेर्न पाउथ्यौँ । त्यो रमणीय दृश्य हेर्न नपाए पनि हामी अझै पनि यी पिरामिडहरू घुम्न र तिनीहरूको भित्र जान सक्छौँ । पिरामिड कसरी बनाइयो भन्नेबारे अझै धेरै अन्य षड्यन्त्रहरू छन् । षड्यन्त्रहरू जे भए पनि यी पिरामिडहरू हामीले हाम्रो जीवनकालमा देख्न सक्ने सबैभन्दा सुन्दर चीजहरू मध्ये एक हुन् ।

Sex Education Curriculum in Nepal
- Niharika Chapagain - 25006, G ... 15 November, 2022

Sex, sexual or sexuality education is teaching about body development, sexuality, reproduction, sexual intercourse, and sexual health of an individual. The sex education curriculum in Nepal starts from grade 6 however in an extremely vague manner. The course taught in grade 6 is supposed to be vivid with strong points about sex education however from the beginning its concept gets shortened and shallow. This has resulted in creating different misconceptions and myths about sex education in Nepal. Our society has also played a great role in this part. It has portrayed sex education in such a narrow way that from generation to generation we have learned that it is not a topic to be openly discussed.

Providing sex education in Nepal is extremely difficult as it is directly associated with teachers’ or students’ embarrassment, lack of knowledge, and teaching skills. And there is no doubt that due to access to the internet, teenagers are often misguided about it. Although teenagers have more knowledge about sex education through the internet rather than the school and their parents. It is better to know about such concepts through professionals in schools rather than on the internet which can affect teenagers' point of view about sex education in a negative way as not everything on the internet is valid.
In an Asian country like Nepal, although in Comprehensive Sexuality Curriculum (a curriculum based on teaching and learning about physical, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality), concepts about menstruation, sexual intercourse, and contraception are taught, it doesn’t cover all the things sex education actually talks about. Since in Nepal, teenagers are not guided and taught about gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, intersex, and even asexual people, teenagers have grown to dislike people with different gender identities. These things also fall under sex education and it is important to make people understand because many LGBTQ+ people suffer through bullies due to improper education and lack of awareness. These terms are added in the new and revised curriculum of HPE in grade 7 however not in sufficient amounts. Though homosexuality was legalized in Nepal a long time ago, it is still not accepted by society at all.    
To improve the sex education curriculum in Nepal, I suggest age-appropriate sex education be provided to the children. Yes, sex education is to be taught to the students, however, there are limitations that need to be considered according to the age of the child. For example: from grades 1 - 3 students must be taught about safe and unsafe touch as the concept of good touch and bad touch is outdated. The young might suffer through harassment at a young age. Also, students from grades 6 to 8 must be taught about positive body image and the influence of the media on them. Teenagers especially from age 12 - 18 face insecurities about their bodies due to the impact of the media and even harm themselves. Making them feel positive about their body, also falls under sex education. And, students from grades 9 - 12 must be taught where to go to access health services regarding sexually transmitted diseases because although the students are taught about the causes, effects, and treatment methods regarding different STDS, they are not aware of where to go for checkups. They should also be taught about gender respect, consent, sexual orientation, gender identity, contraception, puberty, and relationships. In addition, clear information about serious topics like marital rape, sexual assault, harassment, etc must be provided to the children after they are mature enough to understand.

When will this waiting end?
- Rushina Tamang - 26008, Grade ... 14 November, 2022

Today, I woke up to my mom screaming at me to get up and get dressed. I hesitantly woke up. My eyes were still not ready to fully open. My body did not want to leave the comfort of my bed. I went to the bathroom. Stared at myself for 10 minutes in the mirror and zoned out. Until my mom again screamed at me knocking at the bathroom door to hurry up. I hurriedly washed up and went to eat breakfast. I almost had the same breakfast every morning. A bowl of milk with biscuits. I didn’t like tea or coffee so I always drank milk. Then I went to get dressed. My mom had already picked out the outfit I was going to wear. It was a white dress with flower designs and a white headband paired with the white sandals I had bought the other day. My mom rubbed some sunscreen on my face. I looked at my dream diary. The first page had my information. My name, age: 7 and year: 2014. I was about to write about the dream I had last night but my mom snatched my diary and put it on the bed side table. She held my hand and walked me to the bus stop.

On the way to the bus stop, I felt really pretty in my white dress, white headband and my new sandals. I also had a pearl necklace on and a bracelet.

We finally reached the bus stop. Even though we weren’t really looking for a bus. We were looking to ride a blue micro. We were heading over to my relatives for my baby cousin’s rice feeding. My mom always used to take me wherever she went. So, my father couldn’t scream at her since she took me with her.

When we reached the bus stop, there was no place for us to sit. All the seats were packed. I looked up at my mom, she was looking left and right getting ready to wave her hand at a blue micro and stop the vehicle so we could get on it.

I was leaning against a pole, tired from standing. After 5 minutes had passed, finally we saw a blue micro in the distance. As it came closer, we both had disappointment in our faces. The blue micro was so packed even the conductor was struggling to hang onto the vehicle. Yet the conductor was inviting us into the vehicle saying there was space for us. My mom waved her hand, telling the conductor to move on. And that we will not be going on that vehicle.

That was a relief. We waited for another blue micro. It was around 7:30 in the morning. We waited for another 10 minutes. I was getting tired of waiting. I asked my mother how much longer we had to wait. She asked me to just be quiet and have patience. The thoughts that ran into my mind when she said that was, “What does she mean? Does she think I’m not patient? Am I not patient? When will this stupid blue micro arrive? When will this wait end?”.

As we were waiting at that bus stop, we both had the same thing, the same regret on our minds. It was, “We should have gone in that packed blue micro even though we had to squeeze in with at least 20 people”. The blue micro is not that big.

Another 10 minutes go by. But the blue micro just does not arrive. At that moment I just wanted to return home. Our home was not that far from the bus stop. I was really tired from standing. I started imagining the blue micro finally arriving and me and my mom getting into that blue micro and going to my cousin’s and eating yummy food there.

I started getting frustrated when another 10 minutes went by. I asked my mom if we could just get into a taxi. She replied saying a taxi is too expensive. But I kept asking my mom to just get a taxi. But she kept ignoring me. I was now hungry and tired and frustrated. I was also really mad at all the blue micros in the world at the time. I saw every single vehicle except a blue micro.

After a while, I saw a mini car go by that looked like a toy. Looking at that car made me really angry. I thought to myself, “I can see buses, taxis, other cars, and even this vehicle that looks like a toy but I can’t see a damn blue micro!”. There was a small stand near us. It was selling roti and eggs. I started salivating the second I saw that man make that roti with egg. My stomach started rumbling. I started screaming at my mother, frustrated that I was really hungry. At the time, all that was going on in my head was, “WHEN IS THIS DAMN STUPID MICRO GOING TO ARRIVE? ARE ALL THE BLUE MICROS IN THE WORLD ON REPAIR RIGHT NOW?”. I started cursing at all the blue micro’s in the world.

Finally in the distance came a small vehicle which was blue in color and it didn’t look that full. This time even I raised my hand with my mother waving at the blue micro to stop. And after an hour of waiting, we finally rode that blue micro to go to my cousin’s home. At the time I felt as relieved as winning a running race.

समय व्यवस्थापन
- Anuska Yadav - 26003, Grade I ... 14 November, 2022

समय व्यवस्थापन भनेको हाम्रो समयलाई उचित विभाजन गर्ने प्रक्रिया हो । जसले गर्दा हामी हाम्रा  लक्ष्यहरू प्राप्त गर्न सकाैँ । हामीलाई के गर्न आवश्यक छ त्यो गर्नुपर्छ । हामीले छोटो समयमा धेरै कामहरू गर्न सक्षम हुनुपर्छ । समय अनुकूल वा प्रतिकूल जे भए पनि। उच्च उपलब्धि हासिल गर्नेहरूले आफ्नो समय धेरै कुशलतापूर्वक प्रयोग गरेका हुन्छन् । हामी समय बितेको पनि थाहा पाउँदैनाैँ । मलाई लाग्छ आफ्ना  कामहरूलाई प्राथमिकताका आधारमा प्रयोग गर्नु महत्त्वपूर्ण हुन्छ । समयको सही सदुपयोग गर्नु हामी सबैकाे दायित्व र कर्तव्य रहन्छ । व्यवहारिकरूपमा समय व्यवस्थापन गर्न गाह्रो हुन सक्छ । तर यो अक्सर व्यक्तिमा निर्भर हुने गर्दछ । हामीले कुनै पनि कार्यहरू अझ कुशलतापूर्वक र कम समयमा पूरा गर्न समयकाे उचित व्यवस्थापनकाे खाँचाे पर्दछ । यसरी अगाडि बढ्याैँ भने लक्ष्यहरू प्राप्त गर्न मद्दत मिल्न सक्छ । व्यक्तिगत र संगठनात्मक उद्देश्यहरू पूरा गर्न होस्, हरेक कुरा सही समयमा सम्पन्न गर्न होस् र सही दिशानिर्देशमा गरिने काम व्यवस्थित रूपमा गर्न हाेस् । यी र यस्ता सबै किसिमका कार्यहरूलाई व्यवस्थापन गर्न पनि समयकाे सही व्यवस्थापनकाे जरुरत पर्ने गर्छ । 
प्रत्येक क्षेत्रका व्यक्तिहरूले आफ्नो समयको उचित व्यवस्थापन गर्न महत्त्वपूर्ण छ ताकि उनीहरूले आफ्ना परिवार र समुदायलाई उत्कृष्ट सेवा र सहयाेग  प्रदान गर्न सकुन् । सफलता प्राप्ति भनेकाे राम्रो समय व्यवस्थापनकाे कौशल परिणाम  हाे । निश्चित गर्नुहोस् कि तपाईंले समयलाई बुद्धिमानीपूर्वक प्रयोग गर्नुभयो भने भविष्यमा उत्कृष्ट जीवन प्राप्त गर्न सक्नुहुने छ। विद्यार्थी सही शिक्षा र परीक्षामा उत्तीर्ण हुनका लागि आफ्नाे पढाइ तथा समय तालिका पालना गर्न आवश्यक छ। हामी समय व्यवस्थित गराैँ ताकि प्रत्येक विषय क्षेत्रहरू कुशल र प्रभावकारी आधारबाट अगाडि बढाेस् । समय आफ्नै गतिमा चलिरहन्छ । यो कहिल्यै रोकिदैन। समय पछाडि जाँदैन । यो केवल अगाडि बढ्छ । समय व्यवस्थापन भनेको अनावश्यक काममा समय खेर फाल्नु होइन तर सही समयमा सही काम गर्नु हो । कार्यको सूची तयार गरी क्रमशः प्राथमिकताका आधारमा ती कार्यहरू सम्पन्न गर्न आवश्यक छ । 
जब म चाँडै उठ्छु । म मेरो कामलाई स-साना भागहरूमा विभाजन गर्छु र महत्त्वअनुसार प्राथमिकता दिन्छु। त्यसपछि म समय व्यवस्थापन गर्न फोन, इमेल, च्याट, आदि जस्ता विषयहरूमा समय खेर फाल्दिनँ । प्राथमिकता आधारमा  समय व्यवस्थापन गर्न सकिन्छ । कुनै पनि नयाँ परियोजना सुरु गर्दा, योजना तथा लक्ष्य तय गर्न महत्त्वपूर्ण छ । तिनीहरूको महत्त्वको आधारमा हामीले कार्यहरूको सूचीमा कामहरूलाई क्रमबद्ध गर्नुपर्छ । प्रत्येक हप्ता पूरा गर्नुपर्ने कार्यहरूको सूची बनाउँदा आफ्नो लक्ष्य र कार्यहरूमा सफलता हासिल गर्न सकिन्छ । आफ्नो लक्ष्य र कार्यहरूलाई स्पष्टरूपमा सूचीबद्ध गर्न आवश्यक छ । यसले महत्त्वपूर्ण कार्य सहज गर्न सकिन्छ । अत: म धेरै महत्त्वपूर्ण कार्यहरूको लागि धेरै समय छुट्याउन प्रयास गर्छु । कम महत्त्वपूर्ण कार्यहरूको लागि कम समय छुट्याउन गर्छु । सबैलाई यस्तो गर्न पनि आग्रह गर्छु ।

यो समयमा अहिले विज्ञान वरदान कि अभिशाप भन्ने कुरा हामीले एक प्रकारले सोच्दा,अहिले भइरहेका कामहरूलाई हेर्ने हाे भने वरदान मानिन्छ। यदि  विज्ञानले गरेका आविष्कार नभएको भए हामी जहाँबाट सुरु भएका थियाैँ  त्यही हुन्थ्याैँ । विज्ञान प्रविधिले गर्दा हामीले टाढा रहनुभएका  आफन्तहरूसँग इन्टरनेटको मद्दतले भिडियाे कल गरी  कुरा गर्न सक्छाैँ । टाढा हुँदा वा अफ्ट्याराे परेका बेलामा हामीले माेबाइलकाे प्रयाेग गरी त्याे समस्याकाे समाधान गर्न सक्छाैँ । धेरै मानिसहरूले इन्टरनेटको दुरुपयोग गरेर समाजमा समस्या सिर्जना गरेका हुन्छन् भने  तर सबै दोष भने विज्ञानमाथि थुपारेकाे हुन्छ । यसरी अहिले इन्टरनेटलाई विज्ञानकाे वरदान हाे । अहिले बसेका छाैँ भने इन्टरनेटको भरले बसेका छाैँ। र आज-भोलि हेर्ने हो भने इन्टरनेटले हामी मानिसलाई धेरै सहयोग पुर्याएको छ। हो! गाँउ-घरमा इन्टरनेटको प्रयोग धेरै हुदैँन, तर सहरमा भने हरेक-हरेक घरमा छ। सहरिया मानिसहरुको धनले पनि उनीहरुले इन्टरनेटको लागि खर्च गर्न सकिन्छ। अभिशापको कुरा हो भने, अहिलेको धेरै किशोरहरुले इन्टरनेटको दुरुपयोग गरेर, र त्यसले गर्दा केटा-केटीहरु बिग्रेका छन्। विज्ञानले गर्दा अहिले देश कहाँ देखि कहाँ पुगेको छ, पहिला गाँउ-घर जस्तै मानिन्थ्यो तर अहिले सहर वा सहरको मान्छे भनिन्छ। वैज्ञानिक नेपाालमा नभएको पनि अरु देशबाट नेपाललाई पनि सामानहरु पठाउदै-गर्दै गरि रहेको छ। इन्टरनेटको मदतले सबैजना अहिले धेरै ठाउँमा पुगेका छन्। हामी वा अरुले गर्दा मात्र विज्ञान  काम वा वैज्ञानिकहरुलाई अभिशा भनिन्छ। विज्ञान वरदान कि अभिशाप भन्ने कुरामा हामीले पनि धेरै कुरा गरेला छाैँ। यदि अहिले विज्ञान नभएको भए नेपाललाई मात्र होइन अरु देशहरुलाई पनि दुर दुर गर्थियो होला। नेपाल भन्दा ताढाँ बसेका आफ्ना आफन्तहरुलाई कुरा गर्न मन लागेको बेला इन्टरनेटको स्वरुप एकै चोटीमा थ्याच्च थिचेर कुरा गर्न पाइन्छ। तर कतिपय विज्ञानले गर्दा नै अहिले देशलाई घाताहरु भएको छ जस्तै बमहरु बनाउने, रासायनिक प्रतिक्रया को हानि, आदिहरुको कारणले  विज्ञान अभिशप बनिइको छ। इन्टरनेटले गर्दा अहिले कुनैपनि मानिसहरुलाई कुनै पनि कुराको कमि भएको छैन्। अहिलेको समयला त्यसलाई वरदान मानिन्छ। तर संसारलाई हेर्याै भने अहिले युक्रेन ध्वस्त भएको छ सबै कारण विज्ञान वा वैज्ञानिक कामहरुले गर्दा । अहिले ट्याक्टर, गाडि, आदिले गर्दा वनहरु पनि सक्केको छ।  हामीले इन्टरनेटको दुरुपयोग नगर्याै भने पनि हामीलाई अभिशाप होइन वरदान हो भनेर देखाउन सक्छाैँ। तर अहिले विज्ञान अभिशाप होइन वरदालन हो, किनभने यो सबै हेर्दा त वरदालन नै हो, हामी मानिसहरुले त्यसको फाइदा, दुरुपयोग गरेर मात्र त्यसलाई नराम्रो काममा चलाउछाैँ र पछि त्यसलाई नराम्रो भन्न ठाल्छाैँ। विज्ञानले गर्दा अहिले हामी देश-विदेशमा पनि घुम्न पाइरहेका छाैँ। र कुनै पढाईहरु पनि इन्टरनेटको सहयोगले नै हुन्छ जस्तै कोरोना बढेको बेला इन्टरनेटले गर्दा घर बस्दा बस्दै अन्लाइन कक्षाहरु लिन पाएका छाैँ।

BITTER TRUTH
- Joya Shrestha - 25004, Grade ... 11 November, 2022

Who are youths? Why do youths want to leave Nepal? Youths are “those persons falling between the ages of 15 and 24 years inclusive”( unevoc.unesco. org). So, why youths are leaving might be because of political instability, corruption, no sense of cooperation, etc and many more. It's a reality that every Nepali household has at least one person or more than one person who is either studying abroad or working abroad. It's not a new thing every youth dreams to leave this country at any cost for a better life. The nepotism we have in our country won’t let youths do anything here. There is dirty politics everywhere and everything.

Education in Nepal is miserable, only grade matters here. Facilities are insufficient, and faculty members are underpaid, taking the example of nurses. If we go and ask nurses about their salary they are only paid 10 thousand to 15 thousand in a month and if we do the same job abroad we are paid 6 thousand dollars or more than that.  Firstly, salary matters because as per people's skill knowledge and if we don't get more money than we have invested then there is no point in doing that job. We are living in the century where money speaks. World is getting expensive everyday and “ MONEY IS THE REASON WE EXIST”. Recently there were different strikes which were related to education: No proper management of universities/colleges, misbehavior of teachers and political interference have been affecting education. About 2,400 people fill out passport forms daily and the passport department prints 6,500 passports daily (RONB). Isn’t it better to earn 3 to 4 times more than we earn in Nepal? So, Why do people leave their homeland? The only reason to go abroad is to earn money, get a better life, support your parents financially and get more facilities than we get here. We have seen the life of the previous jobless frustrated youth who were trying to do something in their nation rather than doing it in other countries. We can see the reality that nothing is going to change here because youths are the ones who can bring the change but youths are never given the chance. The situation in our country has made the life of youths terrible. We live in a country where people who have political power can only do something in this nation. Here we have to wait more than 5 years to earn the same money whereas abroad we can earn within a year.  Even if they are scraping toilets for the hourly dollars or washing dishes for hourly dollars. Going abroad is not only to scrap toilets or washing dishes but it is to explore the other country, get more opportunities, self-growth, upgrade one's life, etc.

The knowledge students gain in the college/university is insufficient to motivate the youths to do something of their own. Thousands of graduates enter the job market every year, dreaming of their bright future. But their dreams break every day like the previous youth because of the lack of employment opportunities in our country and all the thousands of young people who are forced to apply abroad. And the nepotism that we have in our country might make the future of our country a frustrated jobless youth.

My Life After Lockdown
- Riddhis Sharma - 26006, Grade ... 10 November, 2022

A catastrophe occurred in 2019, the coronavirus. Due to the corona virus spreading rapidly many countries started lockdowns, and my country did the same. Schools and workplaces were closed and people started to stay at home.  Life became hellish. We couldn’t get out of our houses but staying inside had almost gotten the best of us. Later, schools had started online classes. I was in my room all day, in front of the screen looking at the teachers and books. The one thing I hated the most about being online was that I just couldn’t enjoy myself reading books as much as I used to physically. It felt as if the good times of life were just sucked away to the depths of the ocean where we couldn’t reach.

But finally, the lockdown ended after 2 years. After two years of hellish experience I finally got to get out.  I started going out everyday, at least for an hour. I couldn’t play as I used to back when the lockdown had not started. And at long last, schools reopened. On the first day I was really excited, as if it was the first time I was ever going to school. School seemed like heaven. Interacting with all those people made me feel like finally things have gotten better.

But even in the best places, there are flaws and this one had some too. The first one was that masks were still necessary. Masks suffocated people and when it was a scorching hot day masks would be covered with sweat. 
Afterwards, I realized that I could not write much after lockdown. Even though I gradually improved my handwriting after lockdown I could write no longer than 5 minutes continuously. So, doing homeworks was tough. But the best part of being outside overwhelmed the hardships, interacting with people. And that year I learned that maybe sometimes you like the ones that you usually did not value much about more than others. That year, our English teacher officially resigned. And later I found that I just had good memories of him. Even though he was one of the most strict teachers that had taught us he was still the one who let us lose the most.  And surprisingly, I was the one who annoyed him the most in the four years that he taught our class. I usually did not do his homeworks and he scolded me quite a lot. But after he left, whenever I thought about him, I only felt like those were good memories. 
After the lockdown, I got back to my old hobby. Playing Table Tennis. Even though I still can't play just as well as I used to back when lockdown had not started, it still felt good. When the lockdown was still there I used to go up to my terrace at about 6 pm. And did different things like making paper planes and skipping. But the thing I am happy I did in lockdown is that I learned to play guitar.  To sum it up, life outside is way better than life inside a house. It would be as if a frog is watching the sky from inside the well.

महिनाै दिनकाे पाहुना
- Rushina Tamang - 26008, Grade ... 09 November, 2022


आमा, बुबा र म मात्र बस्ने एक सानाे र सुखी परिवार थियाे । खुसियालीमा बितेका हुन्थे मेरा हरेक दिनहरू, अनि  घरकाे वातावरण रमाइलाे थियाे । म स्कुल जान्थे र मेरो पढाइ पनि राम्रै थियो । एउटा राम्रो परिवार, राम्रो घर र त्यहाँबाट प्राप्त हुने असीम शान्ति । यी सबै कुराहरू थिए मसित । तर…..मलाई लागेकाे थिएन मराे मनकाे शान्तिलाई यसरी कसैले हरण गर्छ भन्ने । त्यही दिनदेखि आजसम्म  कुनै पनि शान्ति छैन । जुन दिन ती महिला हाम्रो घरमा आइन्, त्यो दिनदेखि मलाईआनन्दको निन्द्रा आएको छैन। 
आजभन्दा करिब ९ महीना अगाडिको कुरा हो । पहिलो पटक ती महिला हाम्रो घर आएको । ती महिला घरमा आइन् र राती त्यही सुतिन् । मलाई त गाऊँको मान्छे हुन् त्यसैले एक दुई हप्ता यही घरमा बस्ने हाेला भन्ने लागेकाे थियाे । तर हुँदाहुँदै महिनाै बितिसकेकाे थियाे । भोलिबाट ती महिला हाम्रो घरमा बसेको करिब दश महिना पूरा हुन थालेछ ।  

आमा र बुबा धेरै दयालु हुनुहुन्छ। यति दयालु हुनुहुन्छ कि पाहुना महिनाैसम्म घरमा बसे पनि उहाँहरूलाई समस्या कुनै समस्या परेकाे भान हुँदैन । महिनाैसम्म घरमा बसेकी पाहुनालाई अहिले पनि भगवान जसरी व्यवहार गरिन्छ । आमाबुबाले त आफ्नै परिवार जस्तो ठानिसके ती महिलालाई। हामी जहाँ जान्छौँ त्यहाँ ती महिला सधैं पछ्याउँछिन्। हामी कतै बाहिर जाँदा पनि सधैँ आउँछिन्। जब हामी कतै बाहिर जाने याेजना गर्छौँ । उनले हामी कहाँ जाँदैछौँ के लगाएका छौं जस्ता प्रश्नहरू सोध्न थाल्छिन् र अन्ततः मेरी आमाले उनलाई हामीसँग आउन चाहनुहुन्छ कि भनेर सोध्नुहुन्छ र उनी सहमत हुन्छिन् । यसरी उनी सधैँ जता पनि आउन खोज्छिन्। तर जुन अवसरहरूमा उनी हामीसित आउन नसक्ने भनेकाे आफ्नाे काम पर्दा मात्र हाे ।  त्याे समयमा पनि हामी कही घुम्न गयौ भने उनी सधैँ केही न केही सामान ल्याईदिनु भन्छिन् । त्यो सामान किन्न पैसा पनि दिदिनन् । आमाबुबाले आफैँले  किनिदिनुहुन्छ।

मेरो जन्मदिनको अवसरमा हामी परिवारमात्र बाहिर खाना ख़ान जाने भनेका थियौँ। मलाई मेरो जन्मदिनको दिन मेरो आमा, बुबा, दाइ र दिदीमात्र बाहिर जान खाेजेका थियाैँ । तर हामी लुगा लगाइराखेकाे बेला हाम्राे लुगा हेरेर हेरिरहेकी थी। टाेलाइरहेकी थिई । मैले उसलाई किन लुगामा टाेलाइ रहेकी भनेर सोधेँ । उसले आज मेरो जन्म दिनमा बाहिर जाँदा के लगाउने भनेर हेरिहेकी हुँ भनेर मलाई भनी। मैले मेरी आमालाई ती महिला पनि हामीसँग जान्छे र भनेर सोधेँ । आमाले ऊ पनि आउँछ रे भन्नुभयो। मेरो पुरै जन्मदिन खल्लाे भएर गयो। बाहिरबाट हाँसिरहेको देखे पनि भित्रबाट ममा रिसको आगो जलिरहेको थियो।

पहिला म यस्ति थिइनँ । ती महिलाको बारेमा केही सोच्दिन थिएँ । तर जब एक दिन ती महिलाले मेरो हेडफ़ोनकाे तार चुट्टाइदिएकी थिई । त्यो दिनदेखि मलाई ती महिलाले जे गरेको देखे पनि रिस उठेर आउँछ । उनीसँग पैसा हुँदैन त्यसैले मेरा आमाबाबुले उनको लागि सबै कुरा किन्नुहुन्छ । म यति कुरामा खुसी थिएँ  कि उनी मेरो कोठामा सुत्दिनन्।

मलाई उनीसित धेरै रिस उठ्छ । कहिले यी महिला हाम्रो घरबाट जान्छिन् जस्तो भैसक्यो मलाई । म उनलाई हाम्रो घर छोडिदिए हुन्थ्याे भन्ने चाहन्थेँ । अन्ततः मेरी आमालाई त्यो महिलाको बारेमा कस्तो महसुस गर्छु भनेर भने । अचम्मको कुरा मेरी आमाले पनि त्यस्तै महसुस गर्नुभएकाे रहेछ । तर ती महिला दुई हप्तामा काम गर्न इरान जान लागेकी थिइन् । जसका कारण मेरो आमाबुबाले उनलाई अहिलेसम्म घरबाट जान भन्नुभएकाे रहेनछ।

ती महिला अन्ततः १० महिनापछि हाम्रो घर छोड्दै छिन् । मलाई आशा छ कि उनी कहिल्यै फर्किनिन्। १० महिनापछि म मेरो पुरानो परिवार र शान्ति फिर्ता पाइरहेको अनुभूति गर्दै छु।

Sex Education: A Necessity For Teens
- Jiya Sapkota - 25003, Grade X ... 09 November, 2022

Sex education is simply an education acquired to get knowledge about things related to sex, human sexuality, age of consent, reproductive rights and organs, emotional, physical and sexual relation and many more. Children have been getting Sex education in the form of their course material mostly from the age of 12 and above. The larger age group getting sex education in the form of course are teenagers. Sex education is a necessity for teenagers especially for the teenagers of this modern era.

Sex education not only teaches us about safe sex behaviours, about adoloscent period and many more, it also warns us about different types of problems that might get created in early life. Sex education includes human sexuality which teaches us to know more about ourselves and our body as well. Providing sex education might as well help people open up about their questions and personal problems. sex education not only decreases the unplanned pregnancy, it also helps to reduce the amount of sexually transmitting diseases like STI, Chlamydia, HIV/AIDS and many more. Having sex education as something less important and not mandatory would instead bring a lot of problems.

If we are focusing on teens, we should definitely be positive over the fact that teenagers grow curious over time and tend to try out different things. So in this scenario let's imagine an unplanned teenage pregnancy, a female teen is pregnant at the age of 14 and they are completely unaware of various things. In this case, there is a very less chance that they will get support from their parents. But if, they were given sex ed then most definitely they would get contraceptives beforehand or just would know ways and methods to terminate the pregnancy.

People hardly know about whats going on with their body, like for example; menstruation cycle, body after an abortion and many more. Usually, even some people with uterus do not know various things and facts about their body during the monthly cycle and if we are talking about people without uterus then well, most don't either. What sex education does is create atleast a little idea or a general concept about things that happens to ourselves and of the opposite sex too.

Teens usually tend to hide away their confusions and questions, which is why providing sex education can help them open up and be clear with their feelings as well. Well sex education includes about LGBTQ+ rights, information and things related to it. It opens up a door for inclusion as well. It helps us know about our personal feelings and space and helps us open up to people. For example; a person is confused about their sexual orientation. They go through various rounds of LGBTQ+ related sex ed and finally they are able find themselves and come out as a queer.

Teens of this era are highly unaware of safe-sex and usually due to unsafe sex methods, they end up having various diseases, various dysbalance in their body, unplanned pregnancy and many more. Sex education; heals your confusion, heals your sexuality crisis, gives you ideas about various sex related things, shows you alternatives about different things, warns about your bodily changes, notifies you about different contraceptive devices and methods, etc. Which is why sex education is a need, a necessity.
