Parental pressure (micro blog)

Parental pressure is something I’m little aware of. I was lucky to have cool dude kinda parents. Not that they never told me to study and do things but they always heard me out.

Never did they say “shut up! and do as we say”. But I am one of the very few who have such parents.

Most parents are too harsh on their kids especially when it comes to studies. I’ve heard my friends telling me that their parents close them in a room to study.

That may sound a bit too harsh but yes there are parents doing that. Let’s talk about something that most parents do-consistenly taunting on how your friends or neighbors kids are faring better than you.

Comparing to others’ children is their favourite thing. This is so common that “Sharma ji ka beta” is a popular meme now.

But it’s time we make parents understand how below par our education system actually is. How it is not helping anyone get to their dream destination.

Parents need to understand that marks are important but their children’s life is even more precious.

Don’t make marks so important to them that if they don’t score well then you see them hanging by a fan.

May sound a bit too extreme but teenage suicides are on the rise and parental pressure is to be blamed.
