Prachi, a student of Sita Bal Vidya Mandir Inter College, Udabad, Sitapur, secured an outstanding score of 98.50%, earning 591 marks out of 600.
Prachi Nigam, the top scorer in the UP Board 10th Exam 2024, found herself subject to online mockery not for her academic prowess, but for her physical appearance, particularly her facial hair. Instead of celebrating her remarkable achievement, some individuals chose to ridicule her, overshadowing her success with superficial commentary.
In response to the online trolling directed at Prachi, Uttar Pradesh Education Board has announced that Lucknow PGI will address the issue of excessive facial hair growth, attributed to hormonal imbalances. This decision comes as a relief to Prachi and her family, who have been deeply affected by the negative attention she received on social media.
Prachi, a student of Sita Bal Vidya Mandir Inter College, Udabad, Sitapur, secured an outstanding score of 98.50%, earning 591 marks out of 600. Despite her academic excellence, her accomplishment was marred by the insensitive remarks made about her appearance.
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the unrealistic beauty standards imposed on young girls, with many rallying behind Prachi and condemning the online trolls. It serves as a reminder of the importance of celebrating achievements without resorting to shallow judgments based on appearance.
Gynecologists have also weighed in, explaining that hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause can lead to unwanted facial hair growth, highlighting the natural biological processes that individuals like Prachi may experience.
In standing up against online bullying and embracing diversity, Prachi's story serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and courage needed to navigate the complexities of today's digital world.
