In today’s
competitive world, students face a huge amount of stress. According to my
experience as a student of the 21st century, I believe there are
mainly four types of stresses a student has to face.
The first one
is examinations. As we all know, exams are the one of the biggest fears of a
student. All things which are taught throughout the year are tested within a
few hours of exams. Students not only have the tension before exams but also after
the exams before the results are displayed. They have the fear of failing.
The second
main stress is homework. I have to write these long journals for homework. And
I’m not a very punctual guy. I postpone my work to the last day. But I believe
in completion of work on time. So basically I freak out when I have to do a ton
of homework within a couple of hours. In this way, homeworks can become
nightmares.
The third one
is tuition. Tuitions horribly mess up the daily routine of a student. Along
with the school homework, which I’ve mentioned, there is this tuition homework
which the students have to do. This greatly increases the load on them. I have
seen my classmates doing their tuition homework while the teacher was teaching
in the class. And I wish my brother good luck, who is going to join his
tuitions in a few days.
And last, but not the least, peer
pressure. A student’s friends may ask him/her to change his or her behaviour or
attitude to suit them. They pressurize him/her to do what they say to be accepted. But
when the student refuses, social isolation takes place. He/she is completely
isolated by his/her friends. In these cases, the consequences can be dire.
Students commit suicide in some cases.
These are the main reasons, I believe, are responsible for the stress on them. And these are perhaps the main reasons for student suicides all around the world. I hope parents read this and understand the feelings of their school-going children.
