AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My daughter demands that we buy branded expensive clothes for her just like her friends wear. We cannot afford it but then I worry she will look the odd one out and girls will not include her in their group.

Explain to her through stories and examples that the value of a human being does not depend on how she looks or the clothes one wears but on the qualities one has and the contribution one can make to the world.

That friends whose friendship depends upon the dress are not worth her friendship.

And that what matters most how much she can progress and learn in the school is what will help in the future and bring in the right kind of friends.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

My friend made me a comment about my complexion which was insensitive and I was hurt or should I say my vital was hurt.

Because I can’t talk to them or face them at all. I delete them off from my brain. Is it natural? Please help me out.๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฌ

Such people are best ignored and such friends are best avoided. It shows not only an insensitivity towards others but also a superficial way of looking at things.ย
