    It is necessary to be concerned about the mental health of the students

    Our students are fragile if we talk about their mental health. They do not even handle minor stress. Many students have committed suicide and have ended their lives since they do not handle the pressure.

    In my opinion, we should be concerned about the mental health of the students from the beginning. We should try to prepare them and teach them to handle the pressure. We cannot expect a life without stress. So, it must be a part of education to teach the students to handle the pressure.

    Daily exercise is the best way to minimize the pressure and to get some extra energy. We can organize some seminars for the students.

    I request the respected members to share their opinions about this topic.

    Nowadays there is a system prevailing in parents that the children should understand the parent's problem/difficulties even when they are students, that too primary school students. They should participate in domestic works with their willing.
    Many parents do not care their children in their studies or expertise by showing that they are so busy in their own schedule.
    In those days our parents never told about their problems to us when we are students even at college level. After finishing our college degree only we understand the family situation. This actually helped us a lot in concentrating in our education. Though we did not achieve a top most level in our studies we crossed all our classes without failing or with poor marks.
    When parents shows dejection on the student children, this definitely sit in their heart strongly. In many situations, I have seen personally, the mental health of the students got affected due to the treatment in their houses and which is reflecting in school/college and thereby the level of their mental health going increased. Parents should free with the student children always, they should talk to them, they should hear them and never should think this is a pampering one on them.

    The mental health of the student is very important and will have a big say in the success story of the student. Mentally strong persons can handle difficult situations also strongly. They will never get upset and try to understand the reasons for their problems and try to find ways and means to solve them. A mentally weak student may get upset very easily over small issues. They may become very sensitive and such students only commit suicide when they face failures.
    The parents of the students should help them from their early childhood to become mentally stable. One of the ways is to tell them how our elders and ancestors faced difficult situations boldly and merged winners. By hearing such stories repeatedly, the chances of these students also becoming strong will be enhanced.
    As mentioned by the author performing Yoga daily may also give the students the required strength of mind. Teachers can be helpful to students in this respect.

    There could be many reasons for stress in students' lives which slowly disturbs their mental equilibrium and they tend to depict certain mental conditions which are in the domain of abnormal behaviour.
    One of the prominent reasons for that today is the load of studies and tough competition for making a career. We have a large population and a large number of educated persons in our country but unfortunately we don't have a proportionate number of job vacancies for them. This has created a severe unemployment situation. That is a serious condition and demotivating the young masses.
    Another drawback today is that everyone is searching for a job and is not able to start some self employment. We have not nurtured our young boys or girls in that line. They only know that they have to compete in some examination and if they fail then they cannot do anything else. This is really a serious situation as we are not able to guide the young people in the correct direction.
    It is high time that parents, society, and government all have to do efforts in a direction to inculcate the feeling of self employment and other ways of earning money in the minds of young people rather than forcing them for something which is tough and inaccessible. A paradigm shift is required in our approach for making a career.

    Knowledge is power.
