Tweet

When in Chritsmas vacation I went to my hometown, I went to meet my childhood friend. His condition is really bad. He runs away from human beings except his parents & brother. He doesn't talk to anybody except his family & always sits alone upstairs in his house or roams alone here & there. I met him after 4-5yrs. He even ran away from me & didn't even say hi. Before few years, he was very naughty & talkative boy. So I first thought he has become so rude, but when I came to know the reality, I was like crying. His mom told me that... When he was in 9th grade, his ma'am really misbehaved with him & always used to insult him infront of everybody. He never told about this to his family because he thought they would complain about the teacher in school & she would give him more punishments. So he took the torture on him silently & kept everything inside him. Due to this he went into depression & so next year, he almost didn't go to school whole year. Then when his dad enquired, he came to know about his teacher's torture. He complained about the teacher & she was expelled. As my friend didn't attend the school whole year, so didn't give final exams & had to sit in same class next year. He was feeling very bad sitting in same class, but like always didn't tell about this to anybody. Now he went into more depression & again missed going to school. And again his another year got wasted. Now his parents changed his school. But till then his condition already became worse. He doesn't talk to anybody, so didn't make any friends in new school. When his final exams came, he used to go till the door of examination hall & ran back to home. He didn't attend even a single exam. Again next year (2006-2007), his parents forced him to school instead of making some arrangements to treat his depression. I really felt bad after listening this. But his parents are not ready to understand he is under depression & are just forcing him to school. His dad is himself a Doctor, at least he should understand. But no. I thought to talk to him, but my mom refused because he too proud doctor & very igoistic. I am only 2-3 years elder than his son, so it wouldn't be right if I talk to him. My mom said she'll talk to him & suggest to take him to a psychiatist councellor. But she is confused how to start the talk. Is mine & my mom's decision right? How should she start the talk? Do you have any suggestions?
