Pupils whose basic necessities are taken care ..are often well behaved ..... Pupil who have to meet their needs .....by themselves are .......more .... Pupils literally have no moral support ......are also have ...attention deficit . Pupil whose parents are depending on dormitories in thier absence .... Generally we are not aware of the practical worries of pupil ...and pupils are worrying of .......food ...medical facilities and transport ....and lack .....such needs ......obviously.....pupil cannot concentrate when they are worrying ...... Bullying such students who feel hopeless is annoying....... It is a fashion to abuse children .....physically .... Where can they turn for food , or shelter or ....help such as necessary .... Financial help is essential Food is essential Shelter is mandatory There are several sensitive issues where individuals need attention in thier well being ..... i dont think anyone wants a hike like sherlock holmes ......or elvis presley ........ Precisly it is necessary for....individual requirements to modest livelihood .............to ......have restrains on behaviour .... Premature romance wrecks pupils ....... Nobody need premature love ........to dispute an individual... Wrecked lives Broken families Broken marriages Are inherently related to premature ......intervention of unwanted romance ......which must not crop up before an individual is old enough to understand .......behaviour .......for ............attention ....
