Confession pages are a newly emerged trend among the Indian youth these days. Ironically, there is so much frustration and agitation among the youth, and they find these confession pages to be the best medium to release all their turbulence. They have complaints and anger against the system, family, colleges, schools, friends, love relationships and if not all of these then they are just interested in bullying and commenting over others’ views and confessions. One cannot be too much judgmental about these confession pages because it is not easy to comprehend others situation till one puts his own foot in another’s shoes. But what matters over here to see the efficacy of such confession pages and why these pages are increasing in numbers day by day. Apparently there might be the need to understand the views of the youth at the core level, these confession pages are the platform which the youth feel to be truly liberal for them, they feel free in posting their confessions on these pages. Condemning these pages would not be any wise or rational solution to the problems of the youth but yes taking those confessions as the Suggestions or Advice or just the Voice they want to raise for certain issues might be a practical way of perceiving these confession pages. For them it is a medium to make their voices heard among the people of the same age group and also to their elders/system most often. However this trend has brought the personal life issues of the youth in the public but perhaps this is what the youth understands by the Freedom of Expression. the society needs to reformulate its certain perceptions and doctrines of building relationships in order to curb the frustrations among the youth, the system and the society needs to lend their ears to this Youth so that the voice could be heard and actions could be reciprocated.
Yes, the new trend in the social networking sites is Confession pages, lined up with confessions. The Youth tends to follow anything and everything that lines up in its way blindly and once a trend is started, none wants to lag behind in being a part of it.Perhaps this is why we see a number of confession pages in Facebook,ironically, the heat wave of the trend flows so fast that people start thinking of new different names to start a different page.Noticeably Youngsters create these pages to have a feeling of ownership, the post of the admin often gives them an authoritative feeling. Perhaps this is why similar pages carrying relative content with slightly different names are created.Social media has got so much to explore and the attractive part of it is that it can kill time.Youngsters are often seen curious with confessions and elders getting nostalgic, it is rather a fun trend.
