Kota is famous for giving most IITians, Medicals and other engineering students. But now it is also getting infamous as hub for more and more suicides. I was disturbed to learn the number of suicides which took place last year was 18. This year this is 6th case and the results just got declared.
We read such news, feel bad about it offer our sympathies to the deceased family and then get back to our normal life. If we can learn something from these incidents, we can put end to it. We might be able to prevent young dreams from fading.
We as a parent have to understand and learn to respect the freedom of choice our children wants to make. Learn to accept the fact that our child is human being first then he is our child. When we have chosen to give birth to him we have to give him the power to live as he wants to live. We have to befriend them rather than be the dictator of their lives. Hear them, offer them advice and make them understand the impact of their decision. Let them learn because anyway we will not be there always to hold their hands.
These young minds don't need dictators they need a platform where they can be vocal too. Develop that platform where opinions are shared rather than decision imposed.
Every child is unique and have different abilities. Not everyone is born to become a doctor, engineers and/or pilots. Some can be teachers, mountaineers, painters and many more things. Let them choose what they want to be. Be a parent whom they can trust. Let them carve niche for themselves rather than ending their lives in despair. End of their life will bring only remorse and no amount of guilt will ever bring them back.
