Kota’s Untold Story: “They called me insane for slipping into depression”, Students Share Ordeal

[@Randomxclusive]

It's not just kota the reason behind all the deaths. It is our education system. But nobody blames that everyone says student cannot handle pressure. That pressure is literally nothing

[@harshsinghal4342]

I don't really think it's the education system but the high aspirations of parents and comparison with other people (competition).

[@SakshiiJadhav]

Yes Absolutely

[@moonriser464]

its high population problem. period

[@Randomxclusive]

@@harshsinghal4342 that's completely acceptable. And if you are going to stop this will never. Indian parents are like that and they should even somewhere there not to pressurize but to guide them but after all it's because this is a nature. And people don't really respect each others profession they have took some of the occupations and made that superior. And bro the whole cause is education system. We are paying bulk of money to never know how to earn money in future. Because after everything we are just going to learn to earn. Why we are being taught every silly things possible and not the things which are right now there. If you see class 12 practical. All the practicals are taught are not going to value you in your life. We are just being slave. We spend money in tutions, schools. My respect would be on top. When a person will ignore the school and will learn things at home and will learn other activities like learning any sports or any skills

You know I take tuition of a 9 year old kid. Recently, he stood 2nd in his class & scored around 96% in his standard 3 annual examination. But, still his mother is unsatisfied 😢. She tells me that he has scored only 3 out of 5 in essay in English, but the topper girl of the class has scored 5 out of 5. She gave me clear instructions to make his child much able to score 5 out of 5 in essay. She has given me a time duration of upto June. She said, "Main chahti hoon ki mera bachha sabse aage rahe." Note: The child has scored 78 out of 80 in English. The deducted 2 marks have been deducted in the essay only. Just think about her obsession regarding making her child top.😮 These kind of kids get frustrated 😔 of their parents as they grow young in their life.

They only care about NEET. For them its totally fine if I die but its not fine if I dont get a seat in MBBS . I am not exaggerating. This is the truth.

This message was very well needed.. thank you India Today. I'm only in grade 9th and feel terrified by the sight of this. When did the 'coaching hub of India' become the 'suicide capital of India'??! It is indeed true that the students are mentally pressurized to achieve high but why nobody puts light in the real problem here?! That's our education system which forces fellow students to fall into such a situation where a student will put an end his/her life. I really really hope tht the new education policy will bring about some positive changes for us. Moreover, parents should atleast try to understand what potential their child holds, everybody is not meant to become an engineer or doctor from IIT or AIIMS !

[@imaanhawwahafiz6561]

this was a comment in another video: "One day after my suicide" The day after my suicide, I loved my mother even more, when I saw her crying on the floor of my room, hugging my clothes with my photos scattered around her, I saw so much love past the tears in her eyes. The day after my suicide, I felt how much my father loved me, no matter how hard it was, in the midst of so much sadness, he spoke to me with tears in his eyes about how proud he was of me and how much he loved me. The day after my suicide, I saw Tumble (my furry best friend) was more incredible than I could imagine. Everytime someone came home, he would run to the door excited to see me, and seeing that it was not me, would lay down in front of the door and continue waiting for me. The day after my suicide, I felt the love of my sister when I saw her sitting in her room with eyes full of tears. She remembered the times we played, talked and argued together in our beautiful childhood. Treasured moments. The day after my suicide, I felt how important I was to my best friends. They were looking at all our pictures together...remembering the laughs we shared. The day after my suicide, I felt the sorrow in my teachers. They blamed themselves for not noticing. At night I went to the morgue to look for myself and said: "So many dreams we had", "So many loved ones", "So many people to meet", "You had so many people that loved you, yet you threw it all away?", "You have to have a lot of courage to take your life. Why didn't you use that courage to win?" Thank goodness that was just a vision. Remember: You are still here and can change your life forever. You are better than you think you are. Prettier, smarter and stronger. Make this yours. Save it to notes and read it later. Disclaimer: This is not my story I just wanted to spread it because maybe it helps.

I understand parents tell us for our good. I accept it. I honestly want to say that our parents say "Hamne duniya dekha hai" is just not relevant these days. They don't know that "duniya badal gaya hai". They just don't understand it, and we can do nothing about it. All we can do is accept that they come from the times where there was no availability of many basic amenities. We are the first generation who have started our lives with all the basic amenities like food, water, money and a house to live. So our parents who have seen their parents struggle to get these amenities, will definitely think that having these in "our children's life" will give them a good life. They are not wrong, but they are wrong too. They need to understand that there are many more career prospects, but they won't. They can do better, but they did what they could. EGO ISSUES. Can't help it out. All we can do is, as people of this generation, share our thoughts with each other, and not with parents. I remember doing so and i regret it. They will instead blame only you. Indian parents can't take it when someone questions their parenting. Realize, that its not been a lot of time since we got independence. India has a long way to go. And what i noticed is, the parents of west atleast try to bridge the gap with the present generation, whereas our parents, atleast majority of them dont even care!!. So should we blae them for this? this is both a YES and a NO. Thats how they were brought up. Please, to all my dear gen Z people whose parents never understand of them (atleast 97% of them) We are the first generation to have access to multimedia and large networks of information. Let "us", being the present generation, break this chain and be better parents! Though i accept that our parents are absolutely wrong when it comes to mental health of their children!

I studied in a very common middle class school which was not very competitive and my parents thought it would be good to take me for a 'crash course ' for preparing for board exams and I went to the next City for 10 days during my study leave for vigorous training. After the first test, that teacher said I had a mental problem because I didn't know the basics of maths! My mother started crying and I was just surprised! then I was very clear what I was good at and what I wasn't. So I left that coaching centre in 4 days. I took up humanities for higher secondary and I enjoyed my studies and became school topper just 'automatically'.

Thanks, India Today for making this report. I genuinely cannot believe how parents actually force their children so hard and make them think, "oh, im second in place and not first, im such a failure, i should die." Like, if you did not go to kota, then why pressurize ur child? They didnt want to go there by themselves, (unless they actually did) but YOU pressurized them. And they didnt ASK to be born. It was your choice. YOURS. So u should know how to raise one child and give it its freedom. Anyway, if anyone is going through selfharm or depression, i hope the best for you.

Most of the parents forcing their kids to become doctors and engineers aren't it themselves. If they think its that easy to secure a seat why don't they give a trial first. Why forcibly throw young minds into fields the parents have absolutely basic knowledge about? Absolute bs. Also the parents should try listening to their kids atleast once in their life.

i am lucky that my dream is to be a doctor so my parents dont have to force me , i have always found peace in biology only , even thinking of being an engineer is nightmare for me, because i hate physics, even upsc is scary .. i totally hated geogrphy in 10th, after which i chose pure science and thankfully they wnt me to be a doctor too, so i am thankful to God...

[@Guys_Love_Each_Other]

I love physics tbh, not biology

[@Addyy.019]

Not everyone is having parental pressure talk about societal pressure also

[@Elisa9395-y4z]

Many of these students would have excelled in other fields but got ruined because they listened to their parents and society and let it dictate their lives

[@reginageorgetownuni]

It's so sad that so many kids had to die for people to realize that there is something wrong with pressure cooker atmosphere

[@irmalair4730]

If our education system and infrastructure were good enough, there would be no need for coaching classes to begin with. It's all a business

[@Randomxclusive]

Education system is worst. In future I will never let my children go to school. To waste their precious time in which they are suppose to learn everything and adapting anything easily. I will let my child learn every single stuff like sports computers and other innovating things

[@Ayush-yj5qv]

Bro its not about school even china has same problem and if we don't have coaching we will do this kind of things in school only jee prep from school itself

[@Absent4life]

Someone ikwas an iitian , he was mentally disturbed n suffered a lot. So he completed his graduation n he started leaning towards spirituality, n left everything . I was like its nice that he is focusing on himself but my mom was like childrens hv no worth for their parents nowadays, they spent so much on their kids , n they want freedom from everything which is very wrong (said by my mother). N she does def know that it is their kid who works so so hard to achieve something big , while struggling mentally. She thinks its wrong for a child to hv an opinion n decide, ofc he had his reasons to not work 9 -5 n she's the one who calls this generation selfish(cuz their kids r not settled enough to "look after them when they r old ". She thinks only parents put in efforts for their "children's well being , successful life" but most of the parents would have given up on jee or neet , it would hv been to much for them to handle. Are our parents living their lives through us? Giving no freedom or choice, what r we supposed to do ?

[@05aswathimnair9tha7]

i feel lucky i have my mother who wants me to become someone I want to.

[@KhushiTidke-g9r]

It's not the fault of Kota , coaching centres or even parents but the system cause it's only designed to produce followers not leaders and ceo's, change it , give results, parents will know automatically

[@mathematicsman7454]

Please don't stop your curiosity as these channel, media , institute are blaming parents but as students for 4 years there , i want to say that mains reason for depression is peer pressure and those teacher *who brainwashed students and says nothing is bigger than IIT* such things trigger more towards suicide

[@CraVish]

going to malls is seen as depression. They need to fire these assholes and invest more on the Childs safety and making them feel like home in the hostels with friendly staff. India can only be athama nirbar only if its young minds can see that jee and neet are just exams and not there life

[@AishaniSingh-kd5lf]

Kota is the best place for those who are determined towards their goal. As I am too studying in Kota, the best thing that I learnt is to not take stress in any situation and handle pressure.

[@19.subhisrivastava46]

Very good. Different people different experiences. But everyone is trying and that's all what matters. Negative people are everywhere, avoid them and be full of ambition. May all your dreams come true ☘

[@PurpleGalaxy998]

I have completed class 10th... I was doing good till my pre boards... I was scoring really well... And i was the top scorer of my class... Untill the day comes... 2 weeks before my board exams I was week in hindi and i never even cared about it cause i score really well in other subjects Literally some words of my hindi teacher hurted me like anything... My hindi tuition teacher expected a lot of score... My parents started to expect more than 490. But i know i may even lose 20 marks in hindi. Thats when i feared about my exam... The first time... I locked myself in room and cried like anything... Hindi was the first exam and i literally lost 15 marks... I cross checked it in online... Where i started to lose hope... Class 10th was over but i scored 92 % in pre board exams... But now im sure that i wont even cross 450 marks... This decline in marks... Health and wellness is just by my parents, teachers and tutors expectations... Don't know how much their expectations will affect my future career... But I'll try my best not to break their expectations... I promise you mom... I will try my level best 👍

[@La_Brata-g7q]

The Problem with Tuition Classes is that they do very exhaustive coaching. If the syllabus of NEET and IIT is constrained to one Book of NCERT the sense of Confusion will be reduced. If different Publications are referred then different perspectives of different Scientific Researches comes at Play, which makes the study more confusing.

[@AnitaSaini-ds4dq]

I had no idea that mental health is a taboo in india….never in my life i ever acted insane but once i did my family …my mom called me insane ….like how am i insane

[@ayushmuduli3561]

isnt it a truth that even cutoff marks can be in a good range rather than being so high always,and if we really seek deeper, we can see a fact that due to the rapid pressure and competitive environment set up in a coaching center many students forget that they r humans, which ultimately leads to a condition of they doing exceptionally well by forgetting their social and metal wellbeing as compared to a norm and set the cutoffs at much much higher standards ,so even a good student feels demotivated then because he scored a bit less than the best ones..'

[@slime1592]

F the teachers in coaching centres and F the parents who pressurize the kids to be their future ATM.

[@ayushi3011]

Why students want addmission in IIT ? This is not even a question, India is the country with highest population and major proportion of it is youth. Indian college/universities don't even stand in top 100 of whole world (only IIT are in it), and if you don't want to become Engineer or Doctor that means that you don't deserve good education in India. No doubt that their are FEW people who have done great things in their carrier but it's only FEW. If you want to save your youths then start treating every field equally, provide quality education.

Weather its a 60%or less or more .The real truth is how much the student has worked hard but log, society, caste system nhi smjhte hai .They just judge by the numbers which cannot decide anyone's future. This is just because of the worst education system wecare having in our india and of course some teachers.

There are Bollywood actors and Kriket players in India. There are many ways rather than these exams. And the examples at the end of the video is clear. So why they end their life? without knowledge and the pressure made by themselves and their circumstances which isn't correct and doesn't reflect reality. Is there anyone who can explain to me I am making a research.

[@arpitasen4884]

Sometimes parents are tough and they don't want to admit the fact that their child is depressed, but what else will they do?? In this current market they are well aware that a doctor will make atleast enough so that their child won't go hungry every night. Parents are not our enemies, Sometimes these toughness is the solution. If parents listen to us all the time, I guess we will be doomed...

[@PERANAYAKAVINM.S]

i don't think any student would want to go against their parent. the problem is communication gap. sometimes parents hardly listen to us unke saat kabhi bhi conversation nahi hota bas decisions hote hai.

[@darkenergy1128]

You know ,listening to parents will be also doomed to next generation keep in mind people like me who wanted to follow passion would can put parents investment and time at their stake of interest by changing careers or else they would not create next generation for wish of pursuing their passions and revenging against parents by not taking responsibilities of marriage and taking care of old age parents
