Last year, a university student, Badrul Alam, hacked a Sylhet college student, Khadiza Akhter Nargis, with a machete on October 3. The victim, a 15-year-old student of Kalarmarchhora Ideal Madrasa in Moheshkhali, had been seeing her assailant for over four years. When they encounter rejection in life, they feel pushed against a brick wall, they genuinely feel that it is the end of life because they see rejections from a jaundiced perspective. We need to understand and teach children that rejection is inevitable and is a part of everyone’s life. Trust me, it is not the end of the world.
