Lets discuss about Student Suicides in your country.

Alarming number of Students commit is countries like India, China and Japan. It is mainly attributed to high pressure educational environment.

Like in India, students face enormous amount of pressure to perform. their performace in 10 and 12th grade decide what they do in their life. Pressure comes from Parents, Teachers and most of the times peers them selves.

There is enormous amount of competition of every single engineering/Medical/Degree seats. More than 500,000 People write Indian Institute of technology(IIT)  entrence exams , which has less than 8000 seats.

Its so ridiculous for educational system. If someone wants to study, he or she should has this opportunity. I'm sure that institute you talked about is the most prestigious in your country. Because of that everyone wants to be there and we have to consider that your population is very crowded.

Even if you dont get enough mark to pass that exam, don't care what any people say about you. It's your chance, destiny and life. Don't feel yourself under pressure. Who knows? Maybe you change this system in the future.

I am a Chinese high school students

I'm going to college next year

Competitive pressure is very large, very heavy burden of our study. Few have our own time.

Although 60% -70% of the university enrollment rate, but the university is still difficult to employment, unless it is a very good university.

This requires us to better grade, so under both schools and families' pressure, which is very easy to go to extremes

yes Parent pressure is a big factor. But bigger factor is Peer Pressure(Shame) . A class mate of Mine Commited Sucide when I was in 3 year(engineering). He had failed in 4 subjects (out of 12 subjects), which ment he could go the next year. His parents were rich, he did not have any parental pressure. but he commited suicde due the shame of failure. Shame of sitting at home for a year.

Also, In India, there is no lack of educational institutes.. It is always about the best.

Like I’m from India and like typical Indian parents my parents want me to be a doctor. There’s an entrance test called AIPMT that about 150000 students sit for with the number of seats about 4200. I tried last year and even this year. I didn’t succeed. But I’ve not committed suicide yet =) heck if nothing else I can always be a terrorist. Not a cheap one, I’ma be a celebrity terrorist like Ajmal Kasab.
