The ground beneath your feet crumbles when you hear about an 11 year old boy committing suicide.What made him take such a big step? How did he get the nerve to do it? Even adults shudder at the thought of it? What drove him to think that life has come to an end? When the 11 year old had not even stepped out in the real world? That boy was my friend a very close friend. An innocent little boy who was scared to even fall of the cycle And the next thing which hits me is he hung himself!!!!!!!!!!!
“FAILURE “This was the word drilled into his mind time and again. He was overcome with guilt, fear and shame for failing in the 7TH grade for the second consecutive year. What is wrong with the education system? With 1200 registered cases of student suicide are they waiting for more to come? Why can’t they go easy on the students?
“A failed student today maybe a star tomorrow” what they need is just a chance n some support from the school and families.
Everyone’s not gifted with the same brains. Who are the weak students suppose to turn to? Where are they supposed to go? Has the system turned its back on the weak students?
When a student commits suicide, the government talks about the different educational plans coming up for students and how they will be counselled. But what they don’t understand is that counselling is not the only solution. If it was, the death toll of students would not go up to 1200.
The government needs to change the system.
Irrelevant subjects, high cut off’s, increase in grace marks, leniency in checking papers.
Please do something
I’ve lost a little brother. A sweet boy who could have had a bright future, His mom has nothing to look forward to. A single parent all she had was her son. It kills me to feel I won’t be able to see that friendly smile anymore. I won’t be able to hear him laughing, playing running about in the building. I won’t be able to hear his innocent voice taking my name.
It disturbs me to think how a mere piece of paper could decide his fate...
