Several students face different forms of pressure with the dominating being Parental and Examination pressure. Where school life is a wonderful time with our peers these torments also drag along varying in intensities from peer to peer.
Types of pressure faced by students!
"Expectations!"
2) Examination pressure: This form of pressure is faced by all the students mostly and is the worst fright for them. Students should not forget that this pressure arises from within them and could be controlled by their own personal efforts. Our brain works best in ease taking situations. When it comes to hoe greater examinations this pressure doubles and causes a drastic effect on the performances of candidates. Great students who always grab an Astar in their tests might fall of the ladder if they fail to control examination pressure. First external examination experience has proved fatal for many.
3) Work load pressure: This is a mere timely stress and doesn't have any harmful effects on the working of our brain. This is more of a stress then pressure. It is of insignificant concern and can be tackled with ease.
I also fell prey to examination pressure at the time of my first ever external examinations; GCE Cambridge International Examinations.
Here is my reaction to the incredulous Examination Pressure via Youblisher.
Examination pressure has proved to be most lethal as according to a survey 40 students commit suicide each year. However its of great concern that around 6000 Indian students committed suicide in 2006 which brought up a hot debate against Indian educational boards across social media.
"Shimla superintendent of police (crime), Punita Bhardwaj, said incidents of children committing suicide because of examination stress often did not get reported as traumatized parents wanted to keep the issue under wraps."
Nearly three-quarters (73%) of the 804 teachers and lecturers believe children are under more pressure now than 10 years ago, with testing and exams, and family break-up causing the most distress.
Delegates at the ATL's annual conference in Torquay expressed concern at the increasing number of pupils across the UK who have killed themselves due to academic, social and peer pressure.
A Few Examples.

Several such scenes of brutal self crucifying can be witnessed over the internet.
Examination pressure hurls ghastly situation onto the candidates!
But as I see,you were not able to handle the pressure;thus,making flaws which will now imprint your mind.How could you be giving this particular advice of taking breakfast giving no thought when you did not apply it?Even if you decided to help those on you marks now,why have you realised it now and not when you could have?
ReplyDeleteExperiences are the best all time teachers,my first experience with external international examination did not go smooth but I learnt to make it smooth for another time. Why I didn't realise it before? I didn't know the pressure could get this intense. Realisation welled up,later is better then never.
