When Agastya was in class 7, he dreaded going to school. Unfortunately, like many other students in the country, he, too, was bullied in school. Classmates mocked him for his weight, calling him names and leaving him feeling isolated. At that time, Agastya was too afraid to confide in his parents, and was unable to find a support system at school. Due to this, he quietly endured the bullying for months.
