Pranks are mean and should be avoided

        There are always some moments in our lives that we don’t want to remember at all. Some of these related to our childhood while some of them are related to our teenage. However, memories of being pranked don’t want to be remembered by anyone.

Why? Well, that experience was never pleasing. Even though the purpose of a prank is to please others by doing something funny, the victim never feels happy about it.

        Now-a-days, pranks have become mingled with what we call jokes. We believe that jokes and pranks are similar. However, there is a significant line between both of them that we often choose to simply ignore.

This action that we take nonchalantly, hurts many and we are unable to understand just how vulnerable they feel.

Purpose of pranks

        The purpose of both pranks and jokes is almost the same. Jokes are told to raise a laugh out of people and pranks are done to do the similar thing. The main difference is that jokes are verbal and they are not subjected at any person. In the case of pranks, they are practical and they ought to involve a person for taking the necessary steps.

        Pranks are not always harmless and they can sometimes go wrong as well. Some of the most common examples of pranks are pulling chairs of strangers, stealing their caps, cutting their selfie-stick, and simply troubling them. These examples are at a comparative lower level than the example that will be given below.

        Seriously, it is hard to imagine if such acts are even funny. They only aggravate the victim and urges them to take a step against the person who is pranking them. Let’s tell you a story:

Jim who was scared of darkness

        There was a kid named Jim who was quite competent in studies. Even when he was free, he used to study. What is surprising is that he even excelled in sports and it made his classmates quite jealous because he always used to steal the spotlight.

They decided a prank was necessary in order to have some fun. At that time, they didn’t know that this ‘fun’ would impact Jim for the rest of his life.

        They took the broom and kept it in the storeroom. On that day, it was Jim’s duty to clean the classroom and he knew where the broom would be. As soon as he went in, his friends locked the door and switched the lights off. Moreover, they even went away so that no one would suspect anything.

        Surprisingly, Jim didn’t shout or even knock the door. After a few hours, they came back when the teacher forced them to reveal everything. When the teacher opened the storeroom again, Jim was there fainted on the floor and was having fits. Apparently, he was terribly scared of darkness.

        When tests were carried out, it was told by the doctor that if anything ever like than happened again, it would traumatize Jim. Although Jim recovered, he never spoke again with anyone.

Pranks are really hurtful and can result in disastrous effects as well.
