Firstly , it is very important to know what “ student pressure” exactly means. Students pressure as we know is derived of two words : student and pressure. This term tells us about the coercion that makes students to do something. It is the pressure that a student has to face to do well at school. This student pressure has lead to increase stress and anxiety in the students, further leading to poorer physical, social and emotional health. Students are tend to feel pressure from their parents, school, teachers , society or themselves to achieve higher grades and academic success.

Students have to face mainly three kinds of pressure everyday without any fail. The pressures has been listed below :

 I have to study 

I have to think about my future.

·    I have to better myself.

It is being researched that student of India faces more student pressure than any other country. This is because of failure in exams , unemployment and depression why people usually end up taking such extreme measures. Psychologists suggest that students suffer from anxiety and traumatic disorders related to fear of examination. This examination factor further causes students to suffer from anxiety , depression and followed consequences.

A student can face a lot of pressure. These pressure may or may not be noticed by many of the guardians, parents or teachers or anyone who is close to that student. These pressures are of various kinds:

·      Acceptance

·      Bullying

·      Image

·      Giving their 100%

·      Becoming better in every field

In India, every parent wants their child to be better in academics. But a very less parents accept their child’s interest. Like if a child want to pursue something other than in academics then there are very less chances that the parents will accept that.

This can be more clear through a simple example:

When a child is born, his/ her parents have already selected that what their child will pursue in the future. They mold their child into academics from the very start of his/ her schooling . But if the child somehow develops his/ her interest in any other thing other than academics then there are very less number of chances that the parents will accept his/ her co-cirricular interest. Now somehow the child forcefully has to do better in the academics. Few students might not be able to take this pressure and they usually end up taking those measures which can lead to a great loss.

There is always a cause and the cure for every problem. Just like the causes that what kind of pressure child deals with and why , there is also a cure for the same . a lot of things can help the child to feel comfortable and to reduce this pressure. If the student pressure will be less our country will have more number of educated and scientific scholars. And automatically, the students who ends up their life due to this student pressure now will be less only if the cures can be implemented in our society.
