SUICIDE. Yes, that’s a heavy word!
12th-grade results? Yes, that decides your future!

But, is it worth more than someone’s life? With the increase in competition, our society has created this environment for the younger generation that marks decide your life! This continuous pressure right after your 9th grade is inevitable! Science is what intelligent people study, commerce is the average and arts is for you know who. But who even came up with this theory? Parents play a major role in a child’s life but the society plays a bigger role. The continuous phone calls right after the results are declared, the struggle to find a college, let’s not forget neighbors, classmates, relatives you don’t even remember, the rest is all history, are things that haunt every student.
What we want to convey to you is that, instead of mocking kids and pulling them down, making them believe that one exam decides if you get to live a good life or not, engineering and medical is what they should aim for and limit their options when there’s so much more to do. Trust us, be it school or college, your placements or your career, there’s always another path! Your life is too precious to give up.
If you or anyone you know is depressed and needs help, please reach out.
Lastly, we at Arguendo would always be pleased to help you. We will guide you and never judge you, help you with what is to be done and make sure that we fight this together! Just send a mail (souryabanerjee93@gmail.com/thearguendoinitiative@gmail.com).
You are not alone.
