Indian teen details mental health effects of their rigorous college-entrance exams.
Transcript: Exam pressure on teens in India is a significant concern with many students facing immense stress and anxiety due to the highly competitive education system. The pressure to perform well on exams, particularly 10th and 12th standards can be overwhelming, leading to long hours of study, sacrifice of extracurriculars, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
The societal emphasis on securing higher grades and gaining admission to top colleges and universities adds to stress, making it difficult for teens to cope. Moreover, the fear of disappointing parents, teachers, and peers can further exacerbate the pressure, making it a challenging time for teens in India.
It is essential to address these issues and create a supportive environment for teens to cope.
