PARENT EXPECTATIONS VS STUDENT PRESSURE!!

Student A ,got 95.5 percent,and got 2nd position. She returned home expecting smiles and hugs even her favourite lunch but to her dismay she only got “ the topper got 98.95 percent,what happened to you?You didn’t do any effort “ it broke her.Her countless skipped events,restless nights and skipped meals to give extra time to studies,did not count as efforts?

Well this is the situation of countless high and middle schoolers.Marks are just numbers but still people make them the base for love,resources and ‘family izzat’.Though are parents think that they are protecting us from struggle in reality it’s destroying us!

WHAT IT CAUSES;

It causes lost motivation,isolation,fear,stress,anxiety and most dangerous of all silence.

CONCLUSION AND HOW TO STOP IT?:

WE NEED TO BREAK THIS CYCLE!IF not broken fear will continue to dominate and students will cry in a bathroom over 95% and parents will lose their sleep thinking they did not do enough,Everyone loses. SO IT IS TIME THAT WE STOP MEASURING OUR KIDS WORTH IN PERCENTAGES%.

THANK YOU!
