Why the scenario has changed? Why children and young minds are no more spared of this havoc? Is it the kind of life we are destined to lead? What is so embarrassing and scaring that is clutching our young generation and forcing them to take the extreme step of loosing the grip over their own lives?
The first thing that comes to mind is the prevailing stress in the young and tender minds of our youth. What this stress is all about? Why small kids have that heave of stress on their tiny shoulders!
Let’s have a look what actually bothers them! Actually it is the peer pressure, parents’ expectations and the fierce competition in all spheres of life and career.
Peer Pressure
Why peer pressure is so vital? You need to realize how it is going to effect your own performance and from which family and background you belong to. Don’t think your better or aristocrat background will win you the entire world. It is entirely your own perseverance and demeanor that will lead you to success or distress! Believe me, family background has very little to play any role in your future. It’s altogether your own will power and determination that will drive you to any pinnacle. So why bother about peer pressure? If someone has a specific background, especially better than you, there is no guarantee he/she will maintain the same esteem in future also. So just wash off this notion from your mind, peer pressure is really worth considering!
Parent’s Expectation
Your parents are your best friends and mentors also! But often, keeping in view the existing ferocious competitive market, they may get more possessive and articulate about your future. It is quite natural! Respecting their expectations is your duty but don’t ignore your mental and conventional edification. You are aware of your intellectual level more than anyone else. Don’t overdo your mental abilities! You cannot edify your traits after a certain level. You must make it clear to your parents what you are good at and what is your area of interest! I am sure they will understand you and respect your illustrations. Don’t simply trace their dreams but think prudently keeping your feet firmly on the ground of reality. There is no parent who would choose to lose their children on the altar of their own dreams.
Fierce Competition
I agree the competition is fierce but there are still lots of avenues for everyone to explore! It’s not only a few selected field of education and career that can give you satisfaction, money and bright career. There are myriad of career opportunities opening every year, you can select from them suiting your interest and capabilities. No matter if you cannot secure expected grade in a particular exam there is lot more to do in life! The history is replete of successful stories of such people who could not even earn their basic education but earned a name in the world. Take example of Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Atlantic Airways and Virgin Mobile, who suffered mild dyslexia and had poor performance in studies but his ability to connect with others made him think of his career and life differently and he managed to appear in the list of "100 Greatest Britons" in the year 2002. The theme is that it is not great grads in exams that will catapult your career to new heights. But it is entirely your interest; intellect level and determination that will enable you taste success in life. Pay attention on your traits not the enticing career! You can make career, career cannot make you!
