RESULT
Research shows that the stress of low socioeconomic status can lead to
adolescent psychological problems, the likes of which include anxiety, depression, and
behavioral issues (Wadsworth, 2008). Moreover, students coping with poverty face deep
humiliation and embarrassment when their appearance, clothing, and personal hygiene,
are not the same as their peers (Beegle, 2003). A side effect of this psychological damage
is extreme low self-esteem and self-efficacy. This can lead to frustration, angst and
insecurity when it comes to the educational arena, which can then lead to behaviors that

a change, we, as younger generations of India, should wake LIp and unite to change the
way everything works. And all this can happen only when Indians change their mindsets.
With this change, India will not only develop economically but also socially, politically and
culturally. So let us come together and awaken ourselves to a new world, a world where
