The rising suicide rates of very young students in our state in particular and in present India is to be viewed seriously and a rational analysis must be done by parents, governments,teachers ,sociologists and psychiatrists urgently.
The age group from 15 yrs to 25 years who are in the stage of budding are very vulnerable.Analysis of such sucides shows
1- The young people have become very ambitious and and are trying to reach higher educational goals in spite of financial ,family and environmental restraint.
2- Present generation is getting a lot of attention from parents specially girls and are being provided the maximum facilities even if there are financial constraint.
3- Due to exposure to social media ,Internet they want to own gadgets like , phones, computers ,costly fast bikes with out realising that it is not affordable to all .
4- Some are joining tough professional courses in spite of not being meritorious and intellectually fit but depending on opurtunities of reservation ,parents capacity to pay donation .

6- Increased pressure of performance in competitive exams,corporate colleges tough curriculums,increased parental expectations by providing extra finances by borrowing, selling properties,gold etc ,increased thrusting of professions on children with out realising their capacity to perform.

The value system in the family is absent more  
I understand that students have to go through depression with growing competition. But I'm trying to bring different perception to this topic. Do children have balance in life? Is the lifestyle we are giving children making them compulsive and obsessed. Are we feeding them with more junk food indirectly contributing to stress level. Do they participate in any fun activity to keep enjoying life. It maybe mix of all the above an pressure of rat race more  
Despite all the well researched reasons, the most important one I personally feel is family bonding and interaction. If the family environment is conducive all other reasons pale into insignificance. When parents spend quality time with their children, absence or excess of money should not be a cause for wayward behaviour. A good family upbringing will surely prevent undue despair and despondency. Col (Dr) A P Gupta (Retd) more
