A shocking incident has been reported from Prayagraj where a 22-year-old UPSC aspirant cut off his private part after believing he was a girl.
He had been watching YouTube videos and attempted to change his gender on his own. He even used anaesthesia and a surgical blade for this risky procedure.
The internet can guide, teach, and help students, but it can also mislead. This young man got the wrong idea and risked his life. Such extreme steps can cause permanent harm.
Doctors said his condition was critical at first but he received urgent medical care. He is now stable but will face pain and mental trauma for a long time.
Before trying such things, one should think carefully. Instead of fighting what nature has given, it is better to seek happiness in it.
Parents should stay alert about what children watch online. Not every video is safe. Protecting youth from harmful content and spreading awareness is essential.
