Young and beautiful and doesn't give a damn!

"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" sang Kelly. How inspiring! But did she know that even if it doesn't kill you, it does take a part of you away.

That's what I belived about Sasha, a girl on campus. But hey she wasn't just any other girl. She was so much more. To begin with - she was beautiful. So beautiful that she could take your breath away! May be not. But I was certainly mesmerized by her. Her brown eyes were something else. And she was funny, witty and cool. Like how everyone my age should be but sadly isn't. Not even me. But something everyone would agree upon was that Sasha was a resourceful girl. So resourceful, that it was labelled as selfish, exploitative, mean and what not.

Things had really changed for Sasha. From how she was seen as a popular, fun loving, college celebrity to what you can simply say - a slut. From the most loved to the most hated. Sure she had her flaws. But they were a lot like everyone elses. A little bit more perhaps. But nothing grave enough for a complete spin around. From where I stood, Sasha a victim of sorts. And trust me I stood at pretty neutral grounds.

The story was such: Pretty girl with several admirers. Has a good time with one. Things don't quite work out. Moves to next. Play this 3 times over.

Slut? Yes probably. But why single out a girl when our male peers are ever so rampant at the act? And that wasn't all in store for Sasha. She was ridiculed by her so called friends - online & offline, blamed of using people, denied help when needed most and worst of all - made into a social outcast. None of which she deserved if you think about it. 'My life - My choice' is sadly only a post to be shared on facebook and not practiced in real world.

Dismal you'd think. But that was never Sasha. She just didn't give a damn. Her spirit was strong like steel. She moved far away from the hatred where could shut the haters out and live life the way she wanted. Happy about her choices and confident about her future. A sacrifice but one which was needed.

Sasha was an inspiration for me - a girl who lived perpetually in the shadows. Bullying is not limited to school grounds and can get serious with far reaching effects. It cannot always be explained. You can't always go with the flow if you're drowning under the weight of public mockery. Grow a spine, set your priorities right and reach for them. The haters are just gonna hate.

Sasha you deserve a place at http://www.youthkiawaaz.com/
