She further elucidated on what exactly cause this sudden change in behaviour and this bout of loneliness when a child enters into their adolescence years and how one can identify this loneliness, cope with it and ask for help when required. Ms. Kapoor introduced to young adults the unique method to cope with the loneliness by being “Alone- together”. Apart from meticulously explaining the topics in both English and Hindi for better comprehension of everyone, Ms. Kapoor also kept the session very interactive and interesting by explaining her take on the different world adolescents experience through a very detailed and interesting power point presentation, that also included videos to keep the girls engaged. Not keeping it strictly theoretical, Ms. Kapoor also shared with the children several real life stories pertaining to the topic, that certainly helped children relate and feel that they were not the only ones experiencing the loneliness. The webinar was attended by more than 80 young girls striving to adjust in the newly introduced adolescent lives, and the session certainly was very enlightening to them. #Let‘s do good
