Youth Ki Awaaz
Writing for Change

Teen Researcher for India's Largest Youth Media Platform

Writing articles that challenge stereotypes around adolescence and mental health.

Adults often dismiss teen emotions as "overreacting." But neuroscience tells a different story. The limbic system develops faster than the prefrontal cortex, creating the intense emotional experiences teens feel every day.

It's not drama—
it's neurodevelopment.

Everyone—especially teens—deserves to feel heard. Through research, articles, and Mind Mahatva, I translate complex psychological concepts into accessible, actionable insights.
