'Papa, I will not be able to crack JEE, Sorry, I quit' | 16-year-old JEE aspirant
Heartwrenching news about Abhishek Mandal, a 16-year-old JEE aspirant who took his own life in Kota, in not only distrubing but also highlights a vicious cycle of mental health issues among aspiring youth of india. Many students like Abhishek face huge pressure while preparing for exams like JEE. The stress, competition, and expectations can really weigh them down.
Preparing for exams like JEE is tough. Students spend a lot of time studying, attending classes, and sacrificing their personal time. But in this tough journey, their mental health often gets ignored. It's important to understand that doing well in exams shouldn't come at the cost of mental well-being.
When students face problems, they need to know that help is available. Mental health counseling and career guidance can make a big difference. Counseling gives students a safe space to talk about their feelings and learn how to handle stress better. Career guidance helps them understand their strengths and interests, making it easier to choose the right career path.
But not all students have access to these services. Schools, colleges, and coaching centers should provide regular counseling services and raise awareness about mental health. Parents also need to be supportive and look out for signs of distress in their children.
In short, we need to take action to support JEE aspirants and students facing similar challenges. By prioritizing mental health and career guidance, we can create a safer and more supportive environment for young people to thrive. Seeking help is not a weakness; it's a brave step towards a better future. Let's work together to ensure every student gets the support they need to succeed.
Remember, stress reduction is a journey, not a destination.
