Home Quarantined in Bangladesh

March 25, 2020
Education

My Name is Shamayel Shahir Khan. I live in Bangladesh and I'm 15. The situation is going worse here day by day. We are home quarantined for almost a month, we don't have anywhere to go. I miss all my friends and relatives. I miss all my teachers and school. It's so boring that I can't even explain. We all are doing online classes while staying at home. I hope that this COVID-19 vanishes and we all go back to our normal lives. Please pray for us.

Learning at home in Bangladesh amid COVID-19 crisis

April 6, 2020
Education

I am a boy of SOS Youth House Khulna and live in a boarding house at Dhaka. I am studying B.Sc. Engineering in Textile in Daffodil International University. Just after the completion of my 2nd year mid-final exam, the coronavirus (COVID-19) started breaking out in different parts of the world and my university got closed. Our boarding house was made vacant. Then I returned to SOS Youth House Khulna to stay for some days to keep myself safe from Coronavirus. We have been home quarantined for 16 days. At the beginning, I was stressed thinking about my study. Our teachers declared that our...

The Night School That will Give You Motivation

June 11, 2020
Education

INTRODUCTION The year is 2016, and I've got some time after taking my High School Exam. During that time I got a chance to know more about my society, surroundings, and culture. I started work at a night school as a paid volunteer, and the first thought came to my mind, most of the students are senior to me. How will I deal with this sort of problem? When I talked to the principal of that night school, he encouraged me a lot and said to me “you can teach other students, as they are more senior and maintain professionalism”. My night school students are not that serious about the grade, but...

International Indigenous People Day: Empowering Indigenous People

August 9, 2020
Culture

Today is a day entirely for celebrating indigenous people and their unique cultures. Indigenous people lead very amusing lives, something I'm quite keen about as personally, I find learning about cultures quite fascinating, especially under-represented and unheard ones. Indigenous people have quite a history too, dating back thousands of years. They are found in over 90 countries, speak 4000 of the world's languages and there are 476 million of them in this world! In my country, Bangladesh, the main ethnic groups are Garo, Marma, Shawtal, Monipuri and Tripura. Bangladeshi tribes either have...

Males & Females: 2 Sides Of The Same Coin

August 16, 2020
Human Rights

Have you heard of the term, "two sides of the same coin"? Humanity has two sides, just like a coin. If a coin has one side, it wouldn't be anything of value or anything at all. Humanity, like coins have two sides: males and females. Just like a coin, if humanity, for example, only had the male gender, it would all be meaningless without their female counterparts. In every living organism, males and females are integral. They all have an equal role to fulfill in creating life and leading the way for others to follow suit. So, if, among the 100%, 50% are males and 50% are females, equality...

My Family?

A Family

July 21, 2020
Personal growth

Like a sunny sky that spreads warmth and happiness to most, my family helps me stand on my two feet. They remind me how enjoyable each and every day in my life can be. My family consists of me, an older brother, mom and dad. My brother studies abroad, but technology never made us feel too distant. We miss his company from time to time. He used to be my partner in mischief before, his physical presence beside us is probably the only thing virtual communications can't give us. The ongoing pandemic made us come to terms with various things. New and old. Relations restored and revalued while...

Belated Nelson Mandela Day (Honoring Nelson Mandela)

July 21, 2020
Human Rights

On the 18th of July, it was Nelson Mandela Day. On this day, every year, on Mandela's birthday, all of us across the globe honor his efforts, efforts that ended apartheid which was a system where white people were treated better than black people in his country, South Africa. On this day, I couldn't help but wonder how he was so dedicated to his cause that even while imprisoned for 27 years for fighting for his people, he continued fighting for black people in peace. He REFUSED to give up on his race's unfair treatment and was dauntless for 27 TEDIOUS YEARS IN PRISON. In South Africa, black...

Plastic: The Parasite Infiltrating Earth

July 27, 2020
Environment

Plastic is eating Earth alive, bit by bit, it is slowly destroying our only potential home. There are 7.5 billion of us in the world right now and more than half of us use plastic items in our daily lives. Some items include bags, bottles, containers, cutlery, plates, straws, cups, decorations and hundreds more! This is absolutely horrifying. Worse, humans are producing 300 million tons of plastic every year! So, why is plastic so harmful to the environment? Unlike other materials we use and dispose of, such as glass, paper, wood or metal, the material, plastic takes hundreds, even thousands...

A Passion I Found Quarantined: Art!

August 23, 2020
Culture

Art has become a new passion of mine during quarantine. Before, I never really considered myself good at art, but rather writing, writing anything like stories, poetry, essays, reports etc. I've always been a writer and history fanatic at heart, but never an artist. However, despite being good at writing, I was and still am a person discovering myself and home confinement has made me discover that I have great potential for art too! I'm not going to lie, I used to have admiration and slight envy at great artists. I always wanted to be great at art too, but my gut told me I could never be and I...

Losing Your Mind

Those days you relished Have now perished Demons feed on the wounds Of your head And laugh at the dread Those scars you hide The weight you carry inside Is where all demons hide Feeding away at your inner child The part you most reviled They scream at the sound of silence And ignore your defiance You let out a scream While the demons scheme You hear the joy within you perishing And the demons relishing Eating away the sublimity And disrupting the serenity "Help!", you scream While the demons lips' salivate And your head slowly disintegrates Until the humanity in you fades Within you, there is...

A beautiful world without discrimination

A beautiful world without discrimination (World Children's Day 2020)

November 13, 2020
Human Rights

I am Syeda Sabiqun Nahar from Bangladesh. I dream of a world where 'discrimination' is no longer present among us, rather, it would just become a term coined in our least liked part of the history. I hope to see a world where people from around the globe irrespective of their gender, class, creed and preferences join forces to provide a greener and safer environment for their children. I wish to live in a world where women and children are stronger and safe with the support of their family. And underneath the masks we're wearing today, may everyone's smiles remain unscathed. #voicesofyouth

My 1st Realization During Lock-down: Doctors And Health Workers Were Always Heroes

July 17, 2020
Health

During this ongoing pandemic, I now truly realize the vital roles doctors and healthcare workers play in our lives. As of this pandemic, we all hail doctors and healthcare workers as heroes, but they were heroes from the start, before COVID-19 even started. They ALWAYS put themselves at risk by treating patents with contagious diseases, not only during this outbreak. Now, they are receiving the recognition they should have gotten long ago. They are at their respective hospitals nearly 24/7. They wear the same mask for almost 12-14 hours as there is a scarcity of them at the hospital because...

Seeing lockdown through introvert eyes

May 18, 2021
Personal growth

If someone asks me, "How is the time of lockdown in your eyes?" I then remember one of my favorite people who said, "It's a precious time. Unwanted, but welcome." I believe most readers are frowning, "What does this girl say? We're getting bored of sitting at home, going crazy with depression and frustration, and she thinks it's a good time?" Then if I say more, lockdown would rather saved me from depression, how would you react? The thing is : introverts see the world in a different way which the extroverts cannot understand. I want the world to know how introverts see the world. The school...

2021 AD: Another Year, More Maturity, More Realizations

Personal growth

Many say the year, 2020 AD was the worst they’ve experienced. The loved ones of some perished to the virus and the long-awaited plans of some had been put on hold. Some of us were also quite eager to see the sunshine again, the birds sing, the flowers bloom and this cold veil, the outbreak lifts itself off of this world. Most had desires so mere, yet so lofty. All people wanted was to do what they did last year and the years before: live normally again, breathe once again some outer air. However, before this outbreak, people were tired of living monotonous lives and they craved some change...

Stumbling upon the same mistakes was I born to be a curse? Crying every night holding the pillow tight Is the pillow the only friend I have? Why can't I speak up? Why can't I tell them what I want? The things you are decorating me with Are the burdens which are burying me down The things that you're snatching away Are the structures of my soul Making me wear a mask and forcing me to behave like that But deep inside there's the soul Forming a volcano of Truth You may think your force is making me numb You may think your force has taken me over But the creativity would make the mask fall over.

What are the impacts of climate change and environmental damage in Bangladesh?

December 4, 2020
Environment
Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to the impact of climate change. People suffer from floods, cyclones, droughts, salinity and river erosion and the poorer people feel this more than others. These environmental disasters are threatening the lives and futures of more than 19 million children in Bangladesh. Bangladesh banned the use of polythene bags back in 2002 but, despite strict laws, the government has not been able to implement them. The use of these plastic bags is affecting the environment as well as clogging the drainage system. A proper plastic waste management system...

In today's time, the whole education system got collapsed by the grisly palm of Covid-19.
