Suicide is very common among students. The reasons vary from failure in exams to failure in relationships. It is clear that students are not able to handle the pressure of being labeled unsuccessful. But what does unsuccessful mean? Does it mean, we have reached the end of life or does it mean there is another option which is being overseen? I would go by the latter answer. Let us take the example of Lance Armstrong, the biker who has won many hearts. He was affected by cancer and he had two options, to consider he was dead or to build a new life. He chose the latter and the rest is history! There must be counseling as a part of the education system; this will help build the morale of students. They must be taken to field trips, made to realize the harsh realties of life. It is better to be knowledgeable about life than be ignorant. The main reason why students can never accept failure is that they are ignorant about it and do not know how to face it. Education must not only teach them the alphabet but also the realities and how to handle them. It must make a person stronger and he must be able to accept failure with a smile. The true meaning of education is realized when the person arises from the grave of failure to reach great heights in life!
