(A Platform to create awareness among parents for healthy competition.)
Many students commit suicide at the formative stage (15 to 19 years) of their lives in our country for various reasons, be it fear of failure in examinations or inability of handle pressure or fear of facing challenges.
Youngsters find it difficult to cope with failure in exams and careers and to add to that, neither families, school nor the society offer adequate support. Parents too have high expectations and want their child to excel in all areas of their life be it studies, sports or extracurricular activities. To add to that there is peer pressure, pressure from relatives and so on.
Various reasons for stress on students
- Exams
- Incompatibility between mental and physical developmental changes
- Too much burden on them by multitasking that many are not able to cope up
- Peer Pressure
- Parents turning children as tools for realizing their unfulfilled dreams
India has one of the world’s highest suicide rates for youth. As per 2015 NCRB report every hour 1 student commits suicide in India. 8934 students committed suicide in 2015. Maharashtra reported most student suicides of any state: 1,230 of 8,934 (14%). These numbers are for reported cases, however no data is available for attempted suicides and the same is likely to be much higher and more shocking.
What can be done? How can parents handle this situation?
So should you resist the urge to rebuild your child’s block tower when it tumbles to the floor, or refrain from talking to his coach if he never gets to bat play in the school team? There’s no right answer. You need to determine how much struggling he can bear. But there are everyday steps you can take to teach him how to cope when things don’t work out exactly the way he wants.
