Have you ever felt like everything is just too much? or The pressure society put on you to get those A's or you are just a shame on society is getting out of control?
Being a student can be both a pros and a con.
Let's talk about it's cons coz no one really talk about it
As per research article of Frontier ( the link of the article ) - Academic pressure has a direct positive impact on adolescents’ problem behaviour, and parent–child conflict and self-control have a direct mediating effect between academic pressure and adolescents’ problem behaviour.
The pressure a teen face academically or non-academically is automatically affects our mental as well as physical well-being which eventually pushes that person towards depression, procrastination and in the worst case scenario suicide attempts.
"Being a student is easy, you just have to sit and study." well not for everyone.
It feels horrible when you give your 100% yet you failed to meet your parents, society's expectations. It feels ridiculous when you are compared to someone just because they are academically better and you are few marks behind them. It is the worst feeling when you want someone to appreciate your efforts, tell you that they are proud of you and all you get is "you can do better, you are capable of it".
And as we grow older their expectations keep increasing , making that invisible burden more and more on us. The consequences of it , well anxiety, depression, burnouts, sleep deprivation, self harm ; these words doesn't even exist in their dictionaries.
Parents, educators and society plays a major role in alleviating the pressure on students. They need to understand that students need some appreciations, breaks and probably some time to actually feel like that they are not obligated to do this.
The academic competition to get those A's and get into a reputed university or score full marks in class , makes the learning process hateful and an obligation for survival .
It's funny how we conduct those educational workshops on how to ace your academic year, how to overcome depression but we never talk about it's root cause i.e. Academic pressure.
It's high time we create awareness in this society before it's too late.
To the students , first of all you are doing very well I truly wish you all the best, keep going ignore everyone who make you feel less about you, coz you are amazing.
Alright I guess, I said what I wanted to say. I truly hope you could relate even a bit to it.Thankyou for reading.
Until Next Time
Much love to you <3
