COVID19: a virus with the greatest humanitarian lesson

Hey kids.
We cannot emphasize enough How it’s a problem, too much to bluff. Innocence is swept away, All because the older ones have a say, A say for us girls, and even the boys. However, it’s always the girls that are sensualized toys. At a tender age, be it nine or twenty, you would think they’d leave us be We should be open and not forced Into this over sexualized society where all they see are curves, chest, hips, legs, and the symmetrical face already. They crave beauty. They desire with lust. Well how can we trust? We’re so young, we may not even be ready. For such comments and looks. We still...
COVID-19: Combating social isolation through photography and community
Modern Renaissance My name is Sophia, I live in Seattle, and an avid 16-year old social media user. Of course, I was ecstatic to hear that I would have no school or homework for over a month because of the coronavirus crisis; however, it wasn’t until about two days in when I started to feel the effects of not being able to see my friends. This is why the Covid-19 Photos For Teens was created. The fact that my first year of high school was likely going to be cut short left me with a feeling of frustration and confusion. As of now, my school has not started online schooling, and I found myself...
How Art Can be of Value During Self Isolation
It’s a time of tension with lots of cases of the novel Coronavirus being reported over the world. COVID-19 is now the most well known word wherever you live. By now, many of you know where it came from, but none of us is aware of when it will leave. When such times come none one is really prepared, and even those who seem to be are still hit un-aware. False information is spreading like wildfire, resulting in pressure on people and children. Fear has become a centerpiece of our reaction – accompanied by psychological pressure and stress. Quarantine and isolation in general are important to...
Home Quarantined in Bangladesh
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.

"I love the view of sunset. The skin on my skeleton likes to feel the warmth of it. The first thing I like to see is the sight of birds sitting on a mahogany tree just outside my window. They love to wake me up on Sunday mornings. Their chirping is an alarm to my ears. I love the sound that the leaves of a tree make when it's windy. I like to sit on the terrace in the evening when it's about to rain and feel the air rushing against my body, when it tries to push my hair to the other side. I love the fragrance of soil after it rains, petrichor is what it's called, isn't it? I love to go to the...
The Comfort in the Uncomfortable
Can you?
You say all our people are the same and Equal. So let me ask men: Can you? So let me as women: Can you? Can you walk home at night, without the shine of daylight? Can you leave your drink at the bar, without waking up with a scar? Are you told your body distracts, because of "biological facts"? Is the size of your cleavage an excuse, an apparent "reason" for abuse? Have you been cat called, by men, old and bald? Are you told you're arrogant, 'cause you believe you're relevant? Have you felt disgusted in you body, because of the comments of somebody? This is why we need feminism, to fight with...
Why you should choose zero waste gifts?
During Christmas and New year people are actively seeking gifts for family, friends or co-workers. Unfortunately, this beautiful and exciting season is associated with a rapid increase of waste such as labels, wrapping papers, gift cards, in fact, millions of gift cards are thrown away and they end up in nature or on the landfills.

Coronavirus: The Great Reminder For Humans
I just saw some jokes in Twitter about COVID-19 related to Asians and Chinese people. As an Asian, it's not funny at all to joke like that in this situation, and I got a little bit offended. They said "don't be close to Chinese people." How can this be possible, while China also helps other countries to solve the problem? Why don't they use their maturity and humanity to act? Please, don't be racist, and if your friends are infected with COVID-19, avoid the virus, not the person. COVID-19 is a big reminder for humans. Though many people have died and become sick, we can still try to find some...
How Generation Z Will Change the Business World
By all accounts, the business landscape is evolving at breakneck speed, and young people are helping to fuel that rapid change. Generation Z, in particular, is poised to change the business world in a number of ways. For starters, young people are drawn to gig work, with more than half of Gen Zers reporting that they would choose full-time gigs over a traditional job. For Gen Z, gig work is appealing for various reasons, including schedule flexibility and the opportunity to be their own boss. The gig economy also negates the need for in-person interviews, which may be awkward for introverts or...

Lockdown
You might be in your room right now underneath your blanket, watching Netflix, chilling, eating the stock you're having right now and if you are empty you went to the only shop opened near your area, unfortunately, I was doing the same but after I came out of the ration shop I saw two hungry children, I was having many packets of snacks so I decided to give one to them. But during the time I was searching for the packet in my bag I saw four more children coming, asking me to give them rice and wheat. I can afford to give two of them but not six, and I am sorry for that. They were screaming...
5 foods that can keep your mental health in check in the times of pandemic
The Covid 19 pandemic is taking a toll – not just on the world economic operations and markets, but also on our mental health. As administrations across the globe rush to shut down activities in order to contain further infections, many of us are left all by ourselves, locked up inside our own homes, virtual communication being the only feasibility. Although many are engaging a lot more with various social media sites, others reading or maybe learning new languages or skills in order to keep their minds occupied, yet there are several suffering from bouts of anxiety, that’s ultimately having...
