Child exploitation, fame and parenting
- Rushina Tamang - 26008, Grade ... 24 January, 2023

The majority of social media platforms have an age restriction.These age limits were created with the intention of preventing children from getting trapped in predatory acts and also because children cannot properly use social media. But some parents open an account in their name and post pictures and videos of their children. Because if the account belongs to an adult, who’s going to point out the things they post? Children are being exploited by their own parents or guardians.
This has become a very serious issue, especially in Nepali society. Nepali parents are basically using their children’s popularity to gain fame and money. Those innocent children, on the other hand, have no idea what kind of trap they are falling into. Parents just make their children lip sync to some type of audio, dance, sing, and show some type of talent they have, record a video of them, and post it. And it will certainly go "viral" due to the children being "cute" when they perform those acts. I have almost scrolled through 500 TikTok videos just of parents recording videos of their children doing something. And they get fame for it. After their videos go viral, they continue to post videos of their children one after the other.They do this all for the sake of some likes and follows. But they don’t care about how it might end up for their children.
I mean, some media is understandable, as some parents might just want to show how happy their families are to a certain group of followers. But when they post something with their children and the caption is "Please follow, like, and share," I swear my blood starts to boil. They’re basically putting their children’s faces in front of the camera, not even their own faces, and using them to raise followings and likes on the account of their names. But whether or not the child desires fame is unimportant to them.They don’t ask for consent because how could a child give consent? Parents have to be more aware that exploiting their children puts them at greater risk of being part of a predatory act. And what if the child grows up and doesn’t want fame? What if they hate having their face and name known by the world? The parent certainly can’t reverse that. That child will forever have to live with the tag "The tik-tok famous kid" or the "cute kid that used to do this." Not everyone likes fame. A child does not know what fame or social media are. These tik-tok and YouTube parents need to grow up and learn that they are ruining their own children’s lives.
For example, let’s talk about the famous child singer, Ashok Darji. I remember when my mother used to absolutely adore this kid. The kid had a great voice. And one of his songs that he sang for an interviewer went viral. The interviewer got what they wanted by getting lots of likes and follows, but led Ashok Darji down the path of exploitation. Everyone started going to Ashok Darji, taking one interview after another. For some weeks, there wasn’t one person who didn’t know him. His name became famous. All of the Nepali people’s YouTube feeds were filled with the kid’s name, but the videos were very strange. Ashok Darji was caught in public, Ashok Darji was in school, Ashok Darji's girlfriend, Ashok Darji got into a fight, and some people even went on to post YouTube videos with the title Ashok Darji is dead, as the titles suggest.They just announced that a very well-alive child had died for the sake of fame.Make a video and add Ashok Darji’s name, and they’ll get famous? And even after all that, the kid still ended up with a few songs and some fame. And now, most people don't care how he lives.This is the type of society we live in. a place where children are not safe from their own parents. And that is just one example. There are so many more cases on this topic.
What parents have to realize is that their children are not old enough for social media. They have to start acting like parents for their children and not their directors. I can’t even imagine how much pressure social media might have put on those kids. Parents have to let their children act like children and live like children. They must stop raising their children as if they are future superstar celebrities.And we, as viewers, have to stop promoting these types of videos. because children get exploited for fame. And by promoting those videos, we hope to encourage parents to share more content with their children.So, no matter how friendly those types of tik-toks seem or how "cute" the kids are, we have to scroll through that video or report it.

Life of Barack Obama
- Ayan Basnet - 25019, Grade X ... 23 January, 2023

Barack Obama is a name well known in the history of America and American politics. He governed the country as its 44th president from 2009 A.D. to 2017. Obama was the first African-American president of the United States and a democratic leader.
Barack Hussein Obama was born on August 4, 1961 (A.D.), in Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S. His father's name was Barack Obama Sr. who was a Kenyan economist and politician and his mother's name was Stanley Ann Dunham, who was an American. They both first met each other while they were still students in Hawaii. Soon they married each other and had Obama in a few years. Barack Obama may have only met his father once because of his parents' early divorce. After they divorced, Barack’s mother married a man from Indonesia, and Barack had to live in Indonesia too.
He moved back to Honolulu, his first home, before entering the fifth grade, lived with his maternal grandparents, and received a scholarship to Punahou School. He finished his primary education and attended Occidental College in Los Angeles for two years before being transferred to Columbia University. He learned political science and international law over there. Finishing his education and aiming to become a lawyer, he enrolled in Harvard Law School in 1988 A.D., where he attracted attention across the country as the school's first African American president of the law review. In 1996, Barack made the decision to enter politics. He entered and won the election for the Illinois State Senate. He had to serve in the state senate until 2004, when he was elected to the United States Senate.
Obama entered the 2008 presidential election after three years in the US Senate. He was well known and liked, and he had attained national recognition for his work and dreams. Obama beat Hillary Clinton in the primary elections before standing against John McCain, the Republican nominee, in the general election. He received a strong electoral victory and was made president on January 20, 2009 A.D. He defeated former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in re-election in 2012 A.D. Obama authorized a secret operation in Pakistan on April 29, 2011, with the goal of locating infamous al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who was the mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and had been hiding for ten years. This incident made Barack Obama more famous, and he did it for his country and the people of America. This was one of his biggest accomplishments in his career, and he could gratefully resign from the presidency on January 20, 2020, with honor.

Is Parental supervision the same as Parental Control?
- Riddhis Sharma - 26006, Grade ... 20 January, 2023

Most people in Asia live with their parents, unlike the western continents. And living with parents is not like living alone or with a friend. Parents in Asia usually prefer their children to be in front of themselves at all times and that they should not be out after dusk.


Having Asian parents, I sometimes think that they really try to control everything I do or everything my brother does while sometimes I think it is good if they supervise me. So I needed clarification if Parental Supervision is the same as Parental control.  And those are two different things. Parental control lets parents order their children to do something while parental supervision is when a parent sees and instructs their children while doing something.  Parental Supervision is useless unless a parent has some control over their children. Instructing and seeing what their children do is useless if the children do not do what the parent is instructing.  While excessive parental control is not good for children, parental control is still necessary for parents to guide their children and show them the right path. Signs of excessive parental control are demanding blind obedience, not allowing children to question adults’/parents’ decisions, not letting children make their own decisions, and helping children without being asked. I have sometimes felt as if my parents want everything exactly as they wish and I really do not like it that way. Life can not be as one always desires and one has to understand , be wise and let it be the way it is. Parental control is not a problem only in Asia but all over the world but Asian parents mostly try to gain control over their children.  If there is too much parental control then the children will be affected but excess parental supervision is completely fine as supervising a child is good for the child. Supervising a child would mean making something a child does better. Supervising a child will help the child to perform the task better as well as understand what is better for the child themselves.

So in conclusion I would like to say that parental control and parental supervision are two different things and they impact a child in a whole different way. Parental supervision is something necessary for a child whereas excessive parental control may impact the child in a negative way. Parental supervision is really important for a child’s growth and development but parental control is not really necessary.

म र मेराे जीवन
- Manaswi Sapkota - 26004, Grad ... 19 January, 2023

बस चढ्दै थिएँ र मैले एउटा अनौठो मान्छे देखेँ । ऊ अग्लो थियो र टोपी लगाइरहेको थियो । म उभिरहेको थिएँ भने ऊ बसिरहेको थियो । ऊ किताब पढ्दै थियो । पुस्तककाे नाम थियो ‘शङ्का’। त्यो मान्छेले मास्क लगाएको थियो र उसका आँखा मात्र देखिन्थे । जब उसले मलाई हेर्‍याे, मैले उसलाई धेरै लामो समयदेखि हेरिरहेको रहेछु । मैले यति लामो समयसम्म उसलाई हेरिरहेको छु भन्ने पत्तै भएन । मैले अर्को दिशातिर हेरेँ र ऊ किताब पढ्न थाल्याे । बस राेकियाे र म बसबाट ओर्लेँ । मलाई थाहा छैन । मैले किन उसलाई अनौठो वा रोचक व्यक्तिकाे रूपमा पाएँ ? सायद, त्यो किताबको शीर्षक पाे थियो कि ?  जसले मलाई जिज्ञासु बनायो । उसको पहिरन पनि एकदमै आकर्षक थियो । ऊ अवश्य पनि हुनेखाने परिवारकाे मान्छे हाे ।  याेभन्दा अगाडि देखेकाे थिइन । सायद, आज उसकाे आफ्नाे गाडीमा समस्या आएर पाे हाे कि, सार्वजनिक बसमा यात्रा गरेकाे । त्याे अपरिचित व्यक्तिका बारेमा के के साेच्न पुगेछु ।

म आफ्नो काममा गएँ । काम सकेपछि नजिकैकाे  चिया पसलमा चिया पिइरहेको थिएँ । त्यही पसलमा अकस्मात कलेज पढ्दाकाे पुरानाे साथीसँग भेट भयाे । ऊ धेरै परिवर्तन भएकी रहिछे । पहिले ऊ साँच्चै अरूलाई दुःख दिने काम गर्थी । आज मैले उसलाई एक सभ्य र शालिन व्यक्तिको रूपमा देखेँ । उसले मलाई मेरो कामको बारेमा सोधी र मैले पनि उसकाे कामकाे बारेमा सोधेँ । ऊ विमान परिचारिकाको रूपमा काम गरिरहेकी रहिछे र ५०  भन्दा बढी देशहरू उडिसकेकी रहिछे । यसले मलाई आश्चर्यचकित तुल्यायो, किनकि मैले उसलाई यति धेरै प्रगति गर्न सक्ने व्यक्तिको रूपमा कहिल्यै देखेको थिइन । हामी केही समय कुरा ग‍‍र्‍याैँ  र आआफ्ना घर फर्कियाैँ ।

घर फर्किंदै गर्दा सडक नजिकैकाे खेल मैदानमा फुटबल खेलिरहेका केटाकेटीहरूलाई देखेँ । तिनीहरू चिच्याइरहेका थिए । एउटा बच्चाले "ओई बल यता पास गर् " भनेर कराउयो र अचानक मलाई मेरो बाल्यकालको याद आयो । म बाल्यकालतिर फर्किएँ । म हाइस्कुलमा पढ्दै थिएँ । मसँग धेरै साथीहरू थिए र स्कुलपछि प्रशस्त खाली समय हुन्थ्याे । मैले राम्रो अङ्क ल्याउँथेँ त्यसैले मेरा आमाबाबुले मलाई दिनहुँ खेल्न बाहिर जान दिनुहुन्थ्यो । मैले छिमेकमा स्कुलमा सङ्गै पढ्ने बाहेकका  साथीहरू पनि  बनाए र तिनीहरूसँग हरेक दिन खेल खेल्थेँ । एक दिन म नराम्ररी लडेर खुट्टाकाे हड्डी नै भाँचियो । मैले लगभग दुई महिनासम्म घरमै थन्केर बस्नु परेकाे थियाे । तर पनि सन्चाे भएपछि खेल्न छोडिनँ ।  केही समयपछि विभिन्न कामहरू गर्नुपर्‍यो । मैले जीवनमा स-साना कुराको आनन्द लिन छोडेँ । आजकल मसँग रमाइलो गर्नका लागि समय पनि हुँदैन । 
कुरा खेलाउँदा खेलाउँदै केही समयपछि घर पुगेँ । मैले खाना खाएँ । बाँकी रहेकाे कार्यालयको काम सबै पूरा गरेँ । सुत्न तरखर गर्न थालेँ र  दिनभरिका भए गरेका गतिविधि दिमागमा नाच्न थाले । बसमा देखेकाे मान्छे सम्झदा मैले पनि पढ्नुपर्छ जस्तो लाग्यो  ।  मेरो पुरानो साथीसँगकाे भेट् साँच्चै रमाइलाे थियो । तर यसले मलाई अलि दुःखी बनायो किनभने अहिले म हुर्किसकेको छु र जागिर पाएको छु । मसँग धेरै साथीहरू छैनन् । मसँग धेरै सहकर्मीहरू छन् । मैले जीवनको मजा लिन सकिरहेको छैन । केटाकेटीले ससाना कुरामा रमाइलो गरेको देख्दा आफैमा नरमाइलाे अनुभूति हुन्छ । म सधैँ तनावमा हुन्छु । म सबै समय थकित भएकाे महसुस गर्छु । बुबाआमाले मप्रति धेरै गर्व गर्नुहुन्थ्यो । अहिले मबाट निराश हुनुहुन्छ किनभने मैले अझै पनि पदोन्नति पाएको छैन । म अझै अविवाहित छु ।  म साँच्चै चाहन्छु कि छुट्टीमा जान सकूँ र जीवनको आनन्द लिन सकूँ। यी कुरा सोच्दै म निदाएँ । म भोलिपल्ट बिहान उठेँ र उही कार्य दोहोरियाे । म बसमा चढेँ ; काममा गएँ ; घर फर्किएँ;  खाना खाएँ र आफ्नो जीवनलाई पश्चातापमा पारेँ । जीवन यसरी नै ……… ।

Breaking Barriers: A Working Mother's Journey to Balance in a Traditional Nepalese Household
- Niharika Chapagain - 25006, G ... 19 January, 2023

As Meera sat at her desk, staring at the clock ticking away, she couldn't help but feel the weight of the expectations on her shoulders. She was a working woman, a wife, a mother, and a daughter-in-law, each role demanding her time and energy in equal measure. But Meera was determined to not let go of her dreams, and she was determined to find a way to balance it all, despite the resistance from her in-laws.

Meera grew up in Nepal, where traditional expectations of women were deeply ingrained in society. She was raised with the understanding that her ultimate goal in life was to get married, have children, and take care of her husband and family. But Meera was different, she had always been ambitious and wanted to make something of herself, be independent.

She worked hard to get good grades and went to college, graduating with a degree in Business Administration. She landed a job at a reputable company and quickly climbed the ranks. She was proud of her accomplishments, but she knew that her journey was far from over.

Meera got married and had children, but the expectations of her role as a wife and a daughter-in-law were overwhelming. Her in-laws were hesitant about her working, and they pressured her to leave her job and focus on her family. They wanted her to fulfill traditional duties as a wife, such as cooking and cleaning for her in-laws and husband. She also felt the societal pressure to conform to the traditional gender roles, to prioritize her husband and children over her own aspirations.

It was a constant battle for Meera, but she was determined to not let go of her dreams. She talked to her husband about her goals and aspirations, and he was supportive of her decision to continue working. But convincing her in-laws was a different story, they were hesitant about her working and couldn't understand why she would want to continue working instead of focusing on her role as a wife and mother.

Meera knew that she had to find a way to make her in-laws understand that her career and her role as a wife and mother could coexist. She showed them that her job provided her with a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and that she could still be a good wife and mother while working. She also shared with them how her job also helped financially in supporting the family.

Through several conversations and discussions, Meera's in-laws finally came to understand and accept her decision to continue working. They also realized that Meera's job provided extra financial support and stability for the family. With their support, Meera was able to find a balance that allowed her to excel in her career and still be an attentive wife and mother.

Meera and her husband made a schedule, delegating tasks and responsibilities, making sure everyone was playing their part in keeping the household running smoothly. They also established a clear communication system, where they discussed and planned their schedules, so they were aware of each other's commitments. This helped them to make sure that their children were well taken care of and that the household chores were done even when one of them was away at work.

Meera's determination to achieve balance served as an inspiration to many other women, who were going through similar struggles with their in-laws. She showed them that it is possible to have the support and understanding of your in-laws, and that with determination and effective communication, you can achieve your dreams. Meera's journey also highlighted how societal attitudes and expectations can be obstacles to progress and how it's important for every woman to have agency over her own life, and make choices that will bring her happiness and fulfillment.

Hercules - Hero or Villain?
- Manaswi Sapkota - 26004, Grad ... 18 January, 2023

Greek mythology is a fascinating part of the history that most people believe in. Most modern time art pieces nowadays are highly inspired by Greek Mythology. Even though these inspirations are subtle and not noticeable, they do still exist. So what does this mythology consist of? Greek mythology consisted of 12 main gods who were known as the Olympian deities. They were Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hermes and Poseidon. The mythology also consisted of the involvement of the human species and animals. Today’s main topic is Hercules.

Hercules was the son of Zeus. He was a Demi-god who had great strength and courage. Hercules is usually known as the hero in Greek mythology and indeed, that is true as for most people Hercules was a hero. Being a Demi-god never made Hercules’s character arrogant or ignorant. Hercules constantly put himself through hardship and trouble. He was a symbol of hope for normal human beings. He was keen on showing that everyone has to endure pain so no one gets to complain about it. He wanted to assure everyone that bad things would pass by.

Hercules did commit some villainous acts but they weren’t committed when he was conscious of himself. Hercules killed several innocent people due to the manipulation from Goddess Hera. He killed his entire family after being driven mad with bloodlust from Goddess Hera. She despised Hercules for being the son of Zeus. After finally coming to senses thanks to Athena, Hercules felt insanely guilty. He decided to repent his sins by doing 12 labors. These labors were hard and strenuous yet Hercules did them.

Hercules also killed Iphitos, the son of Eurythoes. After finishing his 12 labors Hercules was traveling through the land of Eurythoe. The king challenged him to win an archery match and as a reward he would get one of his daughters. Hercules won but the king went back at his words causing Hercules to leave mad. Right after that 12 of the king's mars were stolen for which Hercules was blamed. Iphitos believed that Hercules was innocent. They were on the top of the castle discussing who they actually were when suddenly Hercules pushed Iphitos off the walls due to bloodlust. Hercules was punished for it with more labors and serving Queen Ompale of Lydia.

The only death that Hercules caused without being under the influence of the Goddess Hera was the death of his teacher Linus. Hercules was quite arrogant as a child and didn’t follow rules. To teach Hercules a lesson Linus decided to punish him, but the plan didn’t work out as Hercules threw the lure at her and it ended her life instantly. Hercules did not realize how much strength he held.

Hercules did feel extremely guilty for all of these deaths. He tried to do everything he could to cleanse himself from this unforgivable sin.  Hercules could be considered a hero as most of his crimes were committed with Goddess Hera being the mastermind. He protected human beings from other evils whilst being a Demi god himself. He could be commended for that. Hercules is a hero to many as his crimes, he repented for were due to Goddess Hera.

पूर्ण स्वास्थ्य भनेकाे शारीरिक, मानसिक र सामाजिक कल्याणको अवस्था हो र रोग वा अशक्तताको अनुपस्थिति मात्र होइन । स्वास्थ्य शिक्षा मानिसहरूलाई स्वास्थ्यको बारेमा शिक्षित गर्ने पेशा वा सेवा हो। यस पेशा भित्रका क्षेत्रहरू वातावरणीय स्वास्थ्य, शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य, सामाजिक स्वास्थ्य, भावनात्मक स्वास्थ्य, बौद्धिक स्वास्थ्य, र आध्यात्मिक स्वास्थ्य, साथै यौन र प्रजनन स्वास्थ्य शिक्षा पर्दछन् । स्वास्थ्य शिक्षा भनेको व्यक्तिको ज्ञान, उचाइ र व्यवहारमा परिवर्तन ल्याउन उनीहरूको स्वस्थ जीवन स्थापित गर्न सम्बन्धित छ । स्वास्थ्य शिक्षाले मानिसहरूलाई आफ्नै प्रयासबाट राम्रो स्वास्थ्य प्राप्त गर्न मद्दत गर्दछ । स्वास्थ्य, शिक्षालाई संविधानमा नै  माैलिक हकका रूपमा व्यवस्था हुँदा व्यक्तिकाे अनिवार्य आवयश्यकताका रूपमा  परिभाषित गर्न सकिन्छ । आजकाे समयमा स्वास्थ्यमा समस्या ल्याउने धेरै कारक तत्त्वहरू छन् । जसले मानिसहरूको स्वास्थ्यलाई असर गरिरहेका हुन्छन् । कोरोना राेगकाे महामारीले हामीलाई छोडेको प्रभावपछि वास्तवमा  भाइरसबारेमा नयाँ अवधारणा बनेकाे छ । त्यसैले हामीले प्रयोग गर्ने कुनै पनि कुरामा साँच्चै होसियार हुनुपर्छ । विश्व स्वास्थ्य र शिक्षाको क्षेत्रमा धेरै अगाडि बढेको छ तर हाम्रो देश स्वास्थ्य र शिक्षा सुविधाका दृष्टिले अझै पनि अविकसित मुलुकमध्ये एक छ । त्यहाँ धेरै कुराहरू छन् जुन स्वास्थ्य शिक्षा अन्तर्गत पर्छन् । यो तपाईंको शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य वा मानसिक स्वास्थ्यको बारेमा हुन सक्छ । जति धेरै प्रकारका समस्याहरू छन् त्यहाँ खोप वा औषधि बनाउनका लागि त्यति धेरै स्रोत र पैसा खर्च हुने छ । गुणस्तरीय शिक्षा स्वास्थ्य र कल्याणको आधार हो । मानिसहरूलाई स्वस्थ र उत्पादनशील जीवन जिउनको लागि, उनीहरूलाई रोग र रोगबाट बच्न ज्ञान चाहिन्छ । बालबालिका र किशोरकिशोरीहरूलाई सिक्नको लागि, तिनीहरूकाे राम्रोसँग पोषण र स्वस्थ हुन आवश्यक छ ।  स्वास्थ्य शिक्षाको अन्तिम लक्ष्य व्यक्ति र सामुदायिक स्वास्थ्यको प्रवर्द्धन, मर्मत र सुधार गर्नु हो । पूर्ण स्वास्थ्य भनेकाे शारीरिक, मानसिक र सामाजिक कल्याणको अवस्था हो । स्वस्थ जीवन चक्रका लागि व्यक्तिले सन्तुलित आहार र नियमित व्यायाम गर्नुपर्छ । एक उचित आश्रयमा बस्न, पर्याप्त निद्रा लिनु र राम्रो स्वच्छता बानीहरू हुनुपर्छ । स्वास्थ्य शिक्षा किन महत्त्वपूर्ण छ ? स्वास्थ्य शिक्षा कार्यक्रमहरूले व्यक्ति र समुदायहरूलाई उनीहरूको ज्ञान बढाएर र उनीहरूको कल्याणको हेरचाह गर्ने दृष्टिकोणलाई प्रभाव पारेर उनीहरूको शारीरिक, मानसिक, भावनात्मक र सामाजिक स्वास्थ्य सुधार गरेर स्वस्थ जीवन जिउन सशक्त बनाउँछ । यसले विभिन्न सामान्य रोगहरूका कारणहरू, तिनीहरू कसरी फैलिन्छन् र यी रोगहरूबाट कसरी जोगाउँछन् भन्नेबारे जानकारी दिन्छ । जनतालाई राष्ट्रिय रोग नियन्त्रण तथा उन्मूलन कार्यक्रममा सहभागी हुन प्रोत्साहित गरिनुपर्छ । व्यक्तिगत र वातावरणीय स्वच्छताबारे ज्ञान प्रदान गर्दछ । धेरै अध्ययनहरूले देखाउँछन् कि कम आय भएकाे समाजका मानिसहरू वा स्वास्थ्य शिक्षा कम प्राप्त भएका मानिसहरूको तुलनामा मोटोपना, दम, मधुमेह, उच्च रक्तचाप,  हृदय रोग र अन्य स्वास्थ्य सम्बन्धी समस्याहरू बढी अनुभव गर्छन् । प्रत्येक व्यक्तिले स्वास्थ्य शिक्षा लिएर आफ्नाे जीवनलाई सुन्दर बनाउन सक्नुपर्छ ।
