News India Live, Digital Desk: In today’s era, we put such a burden of career on our children that sometimes they lose the strength to tolerate defeat. A news has come from Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, which will shock the heart of every parent. Under the stress of not getting an MBBS seat after failing in the NEET-UG exam, a young student did what no one could even imagine.
Every day we read in newspapers and news that someone has given up and chosen the wrong path, but what this student did should make any stone-hearted person cry.
What was the whole incident?
According to the information, this student from Jaunpur was dreaming of becoming a doctor. Despite hard work, when the results were not in his favor and he realized that he would not get a medical seat, he was mentally broken. In this despair and frustration he cut off his own leg. Today he is in the hospital bed, and this incident is forcing us to think, what are we teaching our next generation?
Increasing burden of competition and innocent lives
Nowadays, the dream of becoming a doctor or engineer has become an honor not just for the child but for the entire family. Every year lakhs of children appear for tough examinations like NEET, but seats are limited. In such a situation, the children who fail start considering themselves ‘guilty’. This incident in Jaunpur has made it clear how much the pressure of medical entrance examination is affecting the mental health of the students.
A message for parents
Are the white coat and stethoscope more important than our lives? We desperately need to teach children that ‘failing in exams does not mean failing in life’. When one door closes, thousands of doors open. Counseling children and understanding their mental pressure is the biggest demand of the time today.
We pray to God to give courage to this child and give us the strength to remove this deadly fear of ‘failure’ from the minds of other children.
