“I FELT THE NEED TO PROVE MYSELF TO THE SOCIETY AND EARN THE RESPECT” – HUMANS OF DELHI
In Association with: Humans of Delhi
“My parents never sent me to any special school. They never let me feel that I was suffering from dwarfism. I remember going to the doctor frequently with parents during my adolescent days but I simply assumed that they were a part of regular checkups that every kid has to have. Nevertheless, the society broke the truth to me when I was 9 years old. I remember I had joined a new school and as I entered the new class, everyone started laughing at me. I laughed along with them thinking that it was some kind of a welcoming gesture in the class. But soon, I realized the laughs were aimed at me and nothing else. They all laughed and teased me because of my short stature. I always went home and wept the entire night. Somewhere, the experience was so traumatic that I forced my parents to not send me to that school. That’s when they explained to me that I will have to face such cruel beings and crass behaviour everywhere in the long run."
