STUDENTS SUICIDE INDIA
The issue of student suicides in India is deeply troubling. According to recent data, the number of student suicides has been rising steadily. In 2022, there were 13,044 reported student suicides, reflecting a slight decrease of 0.3% from the previous year. Over the past decade, student suicides have increased by 64%, highlighting the growing mental health crisis among the youth.
Factors contributing to this alarming trend include academic pressure, lack of support, and the stigma surrounding mental health issues. Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Madhya Pradesh are among the states with the highest number of student suicides.
Efforts are being made to address this issue, but there is still a long way to go. If you or someone you know is struggling, it's important to seek help and support from mental health professionals and helplines.
