Inputs of the founder
While talking Charit said, “So many of us have grappled with challenges & complexities while growing up, be it parental pressure, bullying, sexual abuse, academic stress, mental health issues but there are hardly any platforms listening to and amplifying these stories, that’s the mission behind starting We The Young, to share stories that bring young India together.”
On Mental health, he further added, “We need to create more platforms and safe spaces for people to come and share their vulnerabilities and problems. We’re 333 million young people, the world’s largest youth population, and yet so many of us are battling with loneliness, anxiety, and depression alone. No one deserves to suffer alone. There is an urgent need for us to come together as a generation, right now more than ever.”
You can read their impact stories
The stories featured on We The Young have created an impact by not just bringing about an ideological change but also by encouraging more young Indians to open up about their journeys. For instance, a story released by the platform towards the end of last year was of a Chandigarh based girl, Udita, who was battling anxiety, depression and borderline personality disorder. When their community heard the story, people started understanding the importance of seeking professional help and opening up about their struggles. The story became a bundle of hope and strength that has bought about a significant impactful change.
