Kerala boy commits suicide, because he scored only 91 percent.

Many times not only parents are responsible, school/collages are also responsible also.

I don't know what has happened to children.why they commit such dangerous thing.Dying is not the solution.

Actually they should get good counselling to know about the life and future. Once they failed they think that this is end and do such. You have said one thing good that dying is not the solution.

Parents and teachers should stand beside their children and students. Actually there are some worst teachers who insult and abuse students in such a way that they commit suicide. There can be many cause behind a person's suicide commitment. Mind of the students must be strong enough to fight back the situation.

Such a thing is happening all over the country all because of the undue pressure put by the parents on their children and putting them under pressure...marks become the most important factor in life above everything else !

most recently we have seen the suicide of a bsc nursing student in the same place..Kottayam....
The place filled with NRI Christians....
she committed suicide for not sanctioning a loan.
Most sad part, the bank manager is my hubby's dearest friend and co-worker. Actually when kids do such mistakes, others are brought into trouble.
just imagine Thomas parents........

Kids commit mistakes under the able guidance of the elders. Parents are the cause. Plight of Children is the effect.

Yes babuji. Also the education system plays a vital role in this issue.

THis is not his fault. This is the fault of parents and teachers who forced to get 100%

I guess parents put pressure because of the prevailing system of education. Many education institutions have set such a high cut off marks for admission that students feel the pressure to score more marks. The height of such absurdity was when last year or before that, one university in Delhi had 100 percent as cut off mark to get admitted in commerce.

OMG that is foolish. :evil: 91% is good not every student is able to score such a high percentage. :evil:

That is irony of the present day completion that even 91% is considered a bad score that drives a talented boy to commit suicide.

Yes, Our country has lost one of its future pillars. Comparing to 1980s, the kids are very talented now-a-days. But they are not confident enough to face the problems.

But that is more important kids should learn more to face problems in life than just to think of scoring high percentage in school/college. Practically speaking one who is able to face problems boldly is more successful in life than others. :)

And destroys the confidence levels in the most intelligent people too

True. Life lessons are equally needed for development

I have seen students who scored 96 percent in Pre university doing quite badly in competetive exams which are based on practical knowledge and ones own mental capability and intelligence, most parents fail to realise that what is important is an all round development not just numbers, as always Indians lay stress on quantity rather than quality...

The cutthroat competition prevailing in the education system is driving the students to suicides.

I do not know why that body commits suicide even after scoring 91%. I need counselling is needed for students and cinema professionals since they often commit suicides.

The boy knows very well about the value of 91%, because there are people with 100% waiting in the wings

hmm!!! 91% is very good i have never seen that marks in my educational phase. I think main culprit is present education system and parents should not put so much pressure on children, it doesn't mean they should avoid interfering in their education..

My neighbors daughter studying 10th class often get scoldings from both her parents just for not getting 1 mark. She performs good with 99 marks in almost every subject but still they are not satisfied. Due to this treatment now she is not going to school at all and her parents have to start giving her tutions...

True. . That reminds me of an adage, "A spoonful of cow's milk is better than a Potful of Donkey;s milk."
