Chennai, Jan 31 (NationPress) In light of a tragic event involving a teenage student in Kerala who took his own life after enduring severe bullying and ragging at school, actress Anumol has raised a poignant question about when society will begin nurturing children who embody kindness instead of cruelty.
On her Instagram account, Anumol shared a heartfelt image with the caption, “I can't believe this... I don't want to. Sorry, mone(son)... we failed you. We should have held you closer, made you feel safe, reminded you that you were enough-just as you were. But we couldn't. And now, we've lost you forever.”
She further pondered, “What kind of world are we constructing, where a child bears such immense pain that they see no escape? Where words intended to harm grow heavier than life itself? This isn't just another news piece. This is a life lost to cruelty, to silence, to a society that remains blind to the destruction it inflicts.”
Urging her audience, she said, “If you are reading this—if you have ever felt out of place, if the world seems excessively harsh, if you feel misunderstood—know that you are not alone. You are loved. You are enough. Please hold on. Please reach out.”
She then posed critical questions to society, asking, “And to the rest of us—when will we learn? When will we stop turning a blind eye? When will we begin raising children who know kindness, not cruelty?”
The actress concluded her message with, “Rest easy, mone. I just wish we had done better.”
Rajna M P, the grieving mother of 15-year-old Mihir, shared on social media that her son took the drastic step of jumping off the 26th floor of their apartment after facing relentless bullying and ragging at school and on the school bus.
