The last few decades have seen massive progress in the measurement and classification of child and adolescent psychiatric malaises. Much of this has focused on diagnosis and identification of prime movers that disturb a child’s quasi equilibrium. And most of this research has spewed prescriptive initiatives to redress the disorders. But isn’t psychology supposed to foster happiness, by actually minimizing the disorder and its effects? On this touchstone, bulks of psychology studies have flounced primarily because the prescriptions are mainly implementable or difficult to execute in practice. However, whatever shortcoming the field of psychology erudition may have, individuals have anyways asserted their right to happiness, by themselves coining ways of responding to challenges. This study examines how teenagers beset with negatively painted imagery like obesity, autism, dwarfness, dark complexion, stammering et al. have surmounted the criticism, said and unsaid by society, and paved path for their happiness. It thus sheds more light on a human’s wondrous abilities to rise above the ceilings and/ or biases the society imposes. This study thus again brings back to forefront the sheer intensity of personal motivation and ingenuity/ rationalization, which all humans are endowed with.
