By Paonam Thoibi
‘Students who are torn between pressures at home and school are often vulnerable to retorting to unhealthy coping mechanism like using substance or inflicting self-harm and injury’
1. My friend is doing very well with her teaching career. She is not only a good friend, but a nice human being. Her problem is her lack of self-confidence. She would be very indecisive even on small matters. What would you suggest? Rajshree, Imphal (W)
Ans: Dear Rajshree, it is really appreciative that you are bringing up a problem your friend is facing. Self-confidence is about trusting one’s own judgment and feeling comfortable with one’s abilities and limitations. It also allows us to feel secure in the world. It boosts a person’s careers, relationships and state of mind. Some people are self-confident in their work-life but not in their social life, we all differ. People also feel comfortable with confident people as they are usually predictable and their behavior is reliable.
Everyone has their own strengths, abilities and skills to enhance their self-confidence and become who they want to eventually be. Self-confidence is a skill that can be developed through realistic goal setting and planning at the right pace the person is comfortable in.
We should also consider factors which may have affected a person’s self-confidence; like previous failures, separation, illness, betrayal, accidents etc. Keeping this in mind it is advisable to suggest your friend to meet a mental health professional who is trained to give counseling for building confidence and assertiveness. A counselor can guide her to set realistic and achievable goals and also explore disappointments and set-backs. Techniques and strategies can be developed to build your self-confidence and change current negative thinking. Self-help books and motivational texts and literatures are also beneficial to develop confidence on a person’s own.
2. Madam, I heard you are also working in a school as counselor. I think it is very good for school going children. I know most of the schools in Imphal or other areas do not employ counselor as their staff. Counseling is needed in today’s atmosphere. I hope the government and the education department must deeply think on this. Memcha Devi, Chinga Imphal
Ans: Dear Memcha, it is true that I’m a consultant psychologist in a school in Imphal. Being a school counselor takes me to an advantageous position to maximally interact with the student or the youth which comprises the majority of our population and helps me help them as and when they are in need.
School counseling is an integral part of the education system in large numbers of countries and in others it is emerging as a critical support for elementary, middle, and high school learning and/or student health concerns. As far as I know there are schools that already have school psychologist or counselors for the students.
A school counselor provide academic, career, college readiness, and personal/social competencies to all students. In traditional teaching environment, counseling is provided by classroom teachers who either have such duties added to their typical teaching load or who are skilled in talking to students beyond their academic concerns.
Every school counselors are bound by the set of duties assigned by their respective schools and may differ from school to school. Generally the school counselor deal with the students’ exam stress helps them in developing study habits, time management, communications skills, and career guidance, providing individual counseling to children with problems at home and in school.
Much focus is laid on the adolescents who are starting to develop and acquire attitudes toward school, self, peers, social groups and family. It is also a time when life’s challenges can be faced head-on with the right amount of motivation and reinforcement after prompt identification. Students who are torn between pressures at home and school are often vulnerable to retorting to unhealthy coping mechanism like using substance or inflicting self-harm and injury.
School counselors work collaboratively with parents and teachers to decide on what action needs to be taken to address issues interfering with a students learning process. These issues may be academic or social. The school counselor also helps with crisis intervention and if necessary makes referrals.

The State witnessed some sporadic violent incidents related with the demand for implementing Inner Line Permit System over the last few weeks. First on the list is the brutal clampdown
The State witnessed some sporadic violent incidents related with the demand for implementing Inner Line Permit System over the last few weeks. First on the list is the brutal clampdown on students agitating for getting the act implemented in the State. As most of us know, ILP was purportedly designed to protect the indigenous people in the erstwhile Bengal Frontier Region from being corrupted by outside influence. Notwithstanding the official rationale which attributed the appalling police action as retaliation to the provocation of unruly students, not too many right thinking individuals are convinced. Neither has the Deputy Chief Minister’s face saving act by apologising to the people gone down well with many.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau’s report ‘Crime in India 2013’, Manipur has one of the highest population to police force ratio in India with 1,020 policemen per one lakh population. The United Nations recommended norm for societies not facing a major security challenge is a minimum police strength of 222 per 100,000 people. An increase in the population to police force ratio has not translated into more security for people but may have helped in employment generation. As per the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India ‘Police’ and ‘Law and Order’ are State subjects. Therefore, the onus is on the State governments to decide the composition of the police forces, its modernisation and equipping them adequately to face the challenges to internal security.
The sixty thousand dollar question here is whether the government has been able to contain insurgency to a considerable degree by employing more police personnel. The recent incident where a police officer smacked the face of a student who was running scared from police personnel is the latest in cases of police brutality. Almost a decade ago, a similar repulsive incident made headlines across the world. We can only hope that the State police will not prove Marx right by repeating the tragic incident as farce in the future. The Deputy CM’s assurance that some of the security personnel will be groomed to behave properly while dealing with ordinary citizens is welcome.
Coming back to the another violent incident related with ILP in which some vigilante civil body set ablaze a truck for carrying some 20 odd non locals, it can be only said that sane and rational individuals should mull a lot before taking the law into their own hands. ILP implementation is an emotive issue for many in the State but violent agitations alone will not suffice in getting it implemented. The merits of their argument will go a long way in convincing the powers that be who will inadvertently take the final call on its implementation. A healthy debate between those who are against its implementation and for its implementation will be a good start in that direction.
We need to study how other countries deal with similar demands. Making an in-depth study about what the US government does for protecting the Polynesian people in Hawaii would be a great idea. Similar studies about certain laws enacted by the Canadian government in some of its provinces where white settlers can’t buy or own land can be of immense help.
Manipur doesn’t exist in vacuum and is only a microcosm of the bigger world where various groups of people are also struggling to survive whatever the challenges are.
