Student Suicides on a Rise//////By Vignesh
It is common these days for youngsters to come up with expressions like very little leisure
time. I believe there are two main causes of this situation. The first is parental pressure and
the second is competition for university places……….
The parents want to see their children do well in school and have a successful career. This
makes them exert pressure on their children to spend hours each day studying. Some even
arrange extra tuition for their children. As a consequence, their leisure time is extremely
limited and the pressure on them is considerable………
The second cause is related to the higher education system. Due to less number of seats at
the university level, only those students with very good grades manage to obtain a place.
This contributes to the pressure on teenagers since they must work long hours to have any
chance of success………..
One solution to the problem is to create awareness among parents. Schools should inform
parents that too much pressure can lead to anxiety, stress and depression. They should be
shown ways in which they can help their children lead more balanced lives with a
reasonable amount of leisure time………..
Another effective measure would be for the government to invest in the creation of more
university places. This could he done by expanding existing universities or by building new
ones. This would reduce the competition for places giving teenagers some of their
precious free time back……..

Poster Making Competition
I had to organise a poster making competition for the Independence Day celebration next
week. I put up a notice announcing the event and inviting participation from the students of
classes IX and XI. The response was quite good. Twenty students from class IX and twenty
from class XI were found eligible by our teachers……….
The competition was held on 12th August. The students were given three topics and had to
prepare a poster on one of them. Paper was provided but the students had to bring their
own painting material. Three judges were to pick the winners. The venue was the Artroom.
Students were given one hour for the poster which had to have one picture in four colours
and a text in 50 words……….
The students produced excellent work. The judges picked up the three best entries. The
Chief Guest gave away the prizes to the winners………..
