“Nandita, you just have to do it once. Look at the amount he is paying. You’ll be able to buy the dress you want for Aman’s party.” Nandita gave into Renuka’s suggestion.
That ‘one time’ was followed by many for she wanted the lifestyle of her friends.
The first time she felt ‘dirty’ but soon got used to it until one day she found that she was pregnant.
What about her ‘boards’? What about her parents? What if everyone found out? How about her school?
The next morning, she was found hanging from the ceiling fan of her room.
This post is written as an entry for Day 1 of the Bar-A-Thon Edition 3. The prompt that I am using for my posts is the marathon of 100 word stories combined with the prompt for today which is ‘one too many’.

Thanks
Really saddening story. But you have nailed the hardcore reality.
That hurt. It’s sad that teenagers fall prey to peer pressure & end up becoming victims of sexual abuse. There’s a dire need for parents & guardians to get up closer to their children about empowering them with a responsible approach to sex education. That’s because teenagers usually tend to associate sex with a mere life process which ‘technically’ has no strings attached to it.
True. Teenagers are vulnerable and need care
Behind every glitter there is a gloom. Sad that she gave into to temptation.
oh this is so sad. unfortunately one hears of such mishappenings around the world.. i wish people would be happy with what they have and stop with the comparisons, greed and blind ambition!
It’s too sad! I wish she didn’t have chosen this way just to keep up with her friends! Loved your take on the prompt with a message, Vidhi!
