Matter of serious concern: Students committing suicide
|
Dr Satyawan Saurabh
In this era of coaching instead of schooling, there is a dire need to study the nature and tendency of suicide among students afresh, because the entire intellectual wealth of the country is at stake, the far-reaching consequences of which can bring deep wrinkles on the forehead of the entire Nation. The whole structure of developmental progress established on the shoulders of the youth can come crashing down. Students should take this as a challenge and face it with full potential. Examination is not a question of life and death. One has to make one’s own path of success by not considering the exam results as the ultimate basis of life. Without hard work, there is no success in any field of life. Parents have to understand how they should behave with their children at home.
Although in this era, the entire young generation is disturbed by dreadful mental illnesses, especially student deviation has become a matter of serious concern. In our country, more than 15 students out of every 100 are being affected by suicide.
They are found to be suffering from depression, anxiety, and self-harm. Tension is increasing due to tough competition and discipline in studies, which has increased the concern of not only the people associated with the education system but the entire society. Family pressure, educational stress,, and ambition to be the best in studies have put a large section of students into deep mental depression. Children who are unable to fulfill the dreams of their parents and perform poorly in exams have to face beatings at home. Suicides of students due to the pressure of exams and results are now becoming common occurrences.
