He is an Emotionally Battered Student

A young boy who has been battered emotionally by his own family.  He was the fourth and mostly bullied by everyone.  He never fight or even talk back. When he was sent to school he barely talks and socialize.  He is totally struggling at school especially when dealing with teachers. 

That young boy, I would say, is a good boy. He is very obedient and respectful one and is actually fun to be with only with his closest friends – his cousins. I’m one of his cousins.

I was teary eyed upon knowing that for the third time he is not going to graduate because of that one minor subject.  What made me feel bad is that he’s being blamed for not getting a grade when it was the teachers fault.  The faculty blamed the student for appearing to his class everyday and not being able to get his grade and submit it to the registrar’s office.  I came from the same school and haven’t experienced this or even observed the same case during my time.  As far as I know the student comes to school do what he has to do to pass the subject and the teacher submits the grade.  Now, because they knew he doesn’t have the ability to fight for his right, the school is taking advantage of it. 

I was disheartened that the school didn’t even guide their students on what they must do.  They are aware that my cousin has very low self esteem, they were actually informed and they only took advantage of it.  They pushed beyond limitations. I’m so upset and I really wanted to cry because I feel sorry for my poor cousin. 

  1. His mom would see him quietly looking up the ceiling. His father would nag him everyday which worsens his condition. There’s nothing I can do but call him and cheer him up to divert his thoughts. I’m afraid something worst might happen to him. We all suspect he has heart condition as he easily breaks down when confronted and sometimes he can’t move when he cries.

    • It is saddening to hear such situation when a helpless child is battered by his own parents. The parents should be blamed for his situation. If concerned persons will report it to the authorities, the parents can be charged with child abuse.

      His teachers should also understand the child's situation instead of aggravating it.

    • This is the same situation being faced by many children in our country due to pressure in exams. Results not matching upto parents expectations. Teachers favoring some particular student over the other. This is a regular thing happening year after year. Recently there final exams being conducted and there was a case of a student who was seen by a teacher having chit in his hand. The teacher only asked the boy what is it and why is he carrying the same? Fearing the consequences the boy ran and jumped from the balcony of the building and landed with multiple fractures and is in the hospital. Children should also not indulge in malpractice and have these sort of problems.

      Parenting is very important if the child is to be emotionally, mentally, physically made to feel secure. If they do not support the child through the thick and thin half the battle for the child is lost and he ends up in the throes of problems. One leads to another and the parents will not know what is happening as they are busy in their own world and finally when the results come they pounce on the child and the child has nowhere to run or hide. The teachers also add fuel to the fire. The child is in a hopeless situation. Which could have been avoided by all if things were handled a bit sensitively. Sorry to hear the story feel for the child especially and also the parents to some extent though it is of their own making.

    • That's a bad thing for the parents to bully their own blood. I am sure you can try to cheer him up. Is it possible for you to defend him? I think you need to boost his confidence.

    • Oh!! this is a very important topic.
      Parents should understand their kids.
      Never underestimate them.
      Give them much care and love.
      Provide them with enormous respect and honor.
      Stop giving orders.. but give them a chance to express their own opinions.
      They are our treasure of life.
