Bengaluru: Bullying increases risk of mental health issues among kids - Doctors

It impacts their physical health, social relations and self-esteem,' warned Dr Megha Mahajan, Consultant, Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, Fortis Hospital. In one such case, mother of a 10-year-old complained that the child's academic performance had suddenly declined and he was showing behavioural issues. The child reportedly had anger issues and was irritable most of the time. He also refused to go to school and listen to his parents. Sessions with the boy revealed that he had been a target of bullying and it was severely impacting his life, to the extent that going to school had become a nightmare for him. He had not talked about it at home, as he was worried about his parents coming to school and making a fuss. But gradually with time, the fear became overwhelming and he started experiencing extreme anxiety and sadness. He started looking for excuses to miss school, which triggered arguments with his parents and led to more aggressive behaviour. The child was given supportive care to freely express himself in a safe environment. With his consent, the school was informed about the bullying incident. Last but not the least, life skills-based work and cognitive behaviour-based approach was used to help the child get back on track. A recent study by the Royal Economic Society's annual conference at the University of Warwick found that being bullied in school increases the extent of mental health problems at the age by 25 by 40 percent. Dr Vijay Mehtry, Consultant Psychiatrist, MindfulTMS, said that immediate effects of bullying include feelings of social isolation, shame, anxiety, depression, changes in biological functions including sleep and appetite disturbances, low self-esteem, avoid going to school and bedwetting. 'If bullying is ongoing for a long duration of time, the child can develop a depressive disorder, suicidal ideations, anxiety, substance abuse, trust issues and difficulty in making and maintaining long-term relationships,' he said. Experts stressed that at such a tender age a child's mind is not prepared to tackle such overwhelming emotions as those felt by bullying and it becomes the responsibility of parents and teachers to ensure a healthy environment for the children not just to grow but also to express their emotions and to understand other children's feelings. Mr Nagasimha G. Rao, director, Child Rights Trust, said, 'Bullying is common nowadays. It is important for schools to have certified counsellors. If not every school, a group of 4-5 schools can have one counsellor. This gives a window for children to open up and express themselves. Teachers can't do the job of a counsellor as children might be unsure of sharing their experiences with their teacher, while counsellors are trained for such sessions.' ...

Will Modi factor spring a surprise in Cuttack, Bhubaneswar LS seats?

Sarat Kumar Sahu, a tea stall owner at Begunia, said that the mood is for a change. But he is not so sure about the Assembly segment where voters will have their own preferences. He was talking about the Lok Sabha constituency for which he did not have hesitation to predict the outcome. "This time the vote will be for Modi and Aparajita Sarangi," he said. Aparajita is the BJP candidate for the Bhubaneswar Lok Sabha seat under which Begunia is one of the Assembly segments. However, for Nari Sahu, a local sipping tea at the stall, the poll arithmetic is not so easy. Sahu said it will be very difficult to dislodge the BJD which has launched so many welfare schemes for people. Rajendra Sahu, sitting BJD MLA from Khurda and fielded by the regional outfit from Begunia in this election has an edge. After a lot of prodding, he, however, said that the Modi factor may change equations at the last minute. The situation is different at Bhapur coming under the Khandapada Assembly segment of Cuttack Lok Sabha constituency. A BJD stronghold, it is very difficult to find posters and banners of BJP in this place. The BJD has fielded Rajya Sabha MP Soumya Ranjan Patnaik from the Assembly seat and he is facing Siddharth Sekhar Singh of BJP, a former BJD MLA and Basanta Kumar Maharana of Congress. Dushmanta Swain, an Independent, is also giving a spirited fight. However, Patnaik seems to have edge as Anubhav Patnaik, the sitting BJD MLA who has been denied ticket, announced support for him. There seems to be an undercurrent of support for Modi for Lok Sabha seat at other places of the Khandapada Assembly segment. At Padmavati village where BJP candidate Singh addressed a rally along with party leader and cinestar Maheswata Ray, several elderly persons openly announced their support for party's Lok Sabha candidate Prakash Mishra. However, they were not forthcoming when asked what will be their preference for the Assembly polls. A group of first time voters at this village also did not have any confusion about their preference. Most of the students of Padmavati village said they will support the BJP Lok Sabha candidate.Situation is more or less the same in Khurda and Jatni Assembly segments. Voter preference may be different in these seats, but the Modi factor remains the key. While Jyotindra Nath Mitra (BJD) is facing Kalucharan Khandeitaray (BJP) and Swagatika Patnaik (Congress) in Khurda, senior Congress leader Suresh Kumar Routray is locked in a triangular fight with Bibhuti Bhusan Balabantaray (BJD) and Biswaranjan Badajena (Cong) in Jatni segment.

How NRIs can buy a life insurance plan in India

The best part is that it's not just Indians who reside in India who feel the need and see the importance of investing in life insurance. Indians well settled in a foreign land also understand the significance of life insurance to protect the needs and requirements of their family members. No wonder, life insurance is a one-stop solution to put your mind at ease. For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), there are some significant advantages to purchasing Indian life insurance policies as the individuals can often readily benefit from the death benefit (regular term plans). Life insurance even provides the clients with a tax-free death benefit, assist in estate building and is an excellent financial instrument used for legacy planning (whole life term insurance), allowing insured to leave a legacy for the heirs. Luckily, there are numerous prominent life insurers in India who offer life insurance to NRIs as well. NRIs can now buy term insurance plans in India at premiums that are among the cheapest in the world. While it is an interesting initiative, there are numerous things that must be kept in mind by NRIs while buying into any such plans. Under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), NRIs, as well as People of Indian Origin (PIOs), are allowed to buy a life insurance plan in India. The individuals - whether residing in India or not - are free to buy any plan that best meets their requirements of protecting themselves and their family members. To pay the premium, one may choose to pay through an NRO bank account, NRE/FCNR bank account or in foreign currency. However, if you choose to pay using foreign currency, it is important to check well in advance in which currency the policy was issued. In order to buy a term insurance policy from India, the NRI needs to go through a medical examination in the country of residence and its reports need to be sent to the insurer in India. After examining the reports, the insurance company takes a final call on issuing the policy, and the premium amount. Some insurers even allow policy seekers to go through tele medicals in order to issue a term policy. The NRI customer is asked a defined set of questions about medical conditions over a call, the basis on which the policy is issued. If an NRI has purchased a life insurance policy from an insurer in India, the policy is bound to cover death, irrespective of the country where the event occurs. The death benefit paid to the beneficiaries of the policyholder is in the currency specified in the policy document i.e. either in Indian Rupee or any other foreign currency. In order to make a death claim, the nominee needs to submit all the documents as mentioned in the policy terms. One must learn that the list of documents required may vary from one insurer to another. Some of the most common documents required for making a claim include a copy of the policy, death certificate of the insured, identity proof of the nominee, etc. Most importantly, if the death of the insured occurs in a foreign nation, the nominee needs to submit a death certificate duly attested by the Indian Embassy in the respective country. Listed below is a comparison of the prices of term insurance offered by five prominent insurers for a 35-year-old male non-smoker NRI, residing in UAE. The total sum assured is Rs 1 crore and the cover is up to 75 years. Company Plan Name Medical Examination Type Annual Premium (Rs.)

Bomb in south west Pakistan kills 21: Official

However, Home Minister Ziaullah Langove, in a press conference, said that the blast was not targeting "a specific community". "Our guess is that no specific community was targeted. Marri Baloch and Frontier Corps (FC) personnel were among those killed as well. The numbers of the Hazara community were just greater," Langove said. He also described the blast as a suicide attack. Officials said that 21 people have been killed and 50 others injured in the blast. An Edhi welfare trust rescue official at the scene of the blast said he had counted around 21 bodies being taken to hospitals. At least eight of those killed in the bomb blast are from the Hazara community, Cheema said. The security forces fear the death toll may rise, GEO News reported. Buildings located nearby were also damaged in the blast, police said. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Cheema said that due to the blast, security has been provided to shopkeepers and traders at the market. "Traders who come from other parts of the city to buy fruits and vegetables at the market are escorted by police and Frontier Corp personnel," the officer said. Cheema said around 70 traders had come to the market in different vehicles and were escorted by the FC and Police. He said that the police and FC personnel had put up blocks at the entrance and exit of the market. "The security forces are here, police are here. What more can we do? We secure them (the community) and travel back and forth with them. If something is hidden in a shop, then the shopkeepers will need to be probed," the officer said. Hazaras make up a significant minority group in Pakistan and most of them live in Quetta. This is not the first time that the Hazara community has been targeted by militants in the province. Qadir Nayil, a Hazara community leader, asked the government to ensure better protection. "Once again our people were the target and once again we will have to bury our dear ones," he said. There have been similar terror attacks in the Hazarganj area of Quetta in the past. The market serves as a wholesale market for fruits and vegetables. Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal condemned the attack and assured that the elements involved in the attack and those leading them would be proceeded against. "People who have an extremist mindset are a menace to the society. We must foil the conspiracy to disrupt peace," he said. Nearly half-a-million Hazaras have settled in Balochistan, many of them after fleeing war-torn Afghanistan. The National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR) last year stated that 509 members of the Hazara community were killed and 627 injured in various incidents of terrorism in Quetta from January 2012 to December 2017. NCHR official Fazeela Alyani earlier said that all these lives were lost in Quetta. According to the NCHR, targeted killings, suicide attacks and bomb blasts have inflicted harm to daily life, education, and business activities of ethnic Hazara community members in Balochistan's largest city Quetta. Balochistan, which borders Afghanistan and Iran, is Pakistan's largest and poorest province, rife with ethnic, sectarian and separatist insurgencies. ...
