A cry for help, a call for reflection and action
Context:
Concerns regarding the mental health and well-being of students in India, particularly those preparing for competitive exams, have come to the forefront due to a rising number of suicides, notably in Kota, Rajasthan.
Challenges Faced by Students:
- Academic Pressure: Intense competition for limited seats in prestigious institutions and high fees in private colleges lead to immense academic pressure.
- Unrealistic Expectations: Parental and societal expectations often impose unrealistic goals on students, contributing to stress and anxiety.
- Financial Constraints: Financial constraints prevent many students from accessing supplementary educational resources, exacerbating the pressure to succeed.
Impact on Mental Health:
- Weakening Family Structures: Weakening family structures and parental control hinder the development of strong bonds between children and their families.
- Emotional Distress: Students face emotional distress and feelings of humiliation when unable to meet parental expectations.
- Sacrifice of Social Relationships: The relentless pursuit of academic excellence often leads students to sacrifice social relationships and neglect their mental well-being.
