#Me too movement
Me Too' or
#MeToo is a movement which was initiated in 2006 by a social activist Tarana
Burke against the dire concern of the masses on the matter of sexual abuse and
harassment in America.
The movement
started to gain recognition in October 2017 after Alyssa Milano, an American
actress posted a tweet asking the victims and survivors of sexual assault to
come out, accepting the bitter truth of the society and letting others know
that they are not alone.
Back
Ground: Where it all Started
In 2006,
Tarana Burke founded the ‘Me Too Movement’ to help survivors of sexual
violence, particularly non-white young women who were not so well off to find
ways to make them come out of the aura that they had suffered
The idea of
“Empowerment through Empathy” was behind the Me Too Movement. It was ultimately
created to ensure survivors know they're not alone in their journey.
In 2017, the
trend re-gathered the fame after #MeToo was tweeted by the actress Alyssa
Milano.
Key
Facts
The
"silence breakers" refer to any man or woman who come forward to say
that they had been the victim of abuse.
The phrase
"Me too" was tweeted by Milano around noon on October 2017, and had
been used more than 200,000 times by the end of the day, and tweeted more than
500,000 times within 24 hours.
On Facebook,
the hashtag was used by more than 4.7 million people in 12 million posts.

Mental Health Awareness

Waking up and seeing things messed up.Feeling sorry that you can't do anything about it.Meeting,interacting and spending times with the very people you know are mean, you don't like or in a way are snakes.
Say it a big NO.
Nomore to living a pathetic life and cursing yourself.Yes you can make a change and that's the day you will start feeling better.
Spend your precious time reading books,watching movies, getting involved in hobbies, going off on vacations and all together being productive and creative.
People are toxic,I admit.Take a break.No further hanging out and being friends with people you feel choked around.Stop trying to fix relationships that are like rusty cars on highway.No one gives aid to a drowing boat.So you need to sail smoothly and safely on your own.
Recreate your personal space and let yourself grow again.
