About the Book
Youth in Combat is not just a book—it’s a voice for every young soul fighting silent battles behind forced smiles. In a world obsessed with success, this non-fiction work dives deep into the real struggles of today’s youth: pressure, pain, fear of failure, and the desperate need to feel seen.
Each chapter uncovers a hidden war—expectations, loneliness, self-doubt—with real-life examples, soul-stirring reflections, and healing steps to rise again.
This book is for the dreamers, the broken, the fighters—those who cry quietly at night and still show up every morning.
You are not weak. You are in combat. And this… is your survival guide.
Turn the page. Feel understood. And begin again—stronger.
Question- Why do you think vulnerability is still seen as weakness in society?
Answer- Because we were raised to wear strength like armor. But vulnerability is not weakness-it’s the rawest form of courage.
Question- What role do schools play in either increasing or easing pressure?
Answer- They can break a child or build one. Right now, too many are factories of fear instead of homes of growth.
Question- If you could go back and speak to your teenage self, what would you say?
Answer- You’re not too sensitive, too weak, or too emotional. You’re human-and that’s enough.
Question- Were there moments when you thought of quitting this book? What kept you going?
Answer- Yes, many. But the thought of someone surviving one more night because of my words kept me breathing into every page.
Question- Who are your biggest influences as a writer and as a person?
Answer- Dr. Ambedkar for his fire, Malala for her fearlessness, and my past self-for surviving when no one clapped.
Question- How do you define “success” now, compared to before writing this book?
Answer- Success is not applause. It’s peace. If my words save one broken heart, I’ve succeeded.
Question- What do you hope older readers (parents, teachers) learn from this book?
Answer- That silence is not laziness. That discipline isn’t always love. That listening can save lives.
Question- What would you say to someone who feels “too broken to be fixed”?
Answer- You’re not broken-you’re rebuilding. Even ruins carry stories that inspire.
Question- Are there any stories or chapters you wish you could have added but didn’t?
Answer- Yes, stories of unsung warriors around me. But I’ve saved them for another book-they deserve their own space.
Question- What’s next for you as an author -more books on mental health, or something new?
Answer- I’ll always write for the broken. But I’m also building stories of healing, identity, and hope-one book at a time.
