Hello fellow bloggers! Mental health to me is something very important. If you are not happy or at peace mentally than you will not be able to give your 100% to anything. Now when I specifically say Indian kids and their mental health that means I will not be talking about kids generally because every kid in every different parts of the world and raise differently. But we as Indian kids are raised on certain conditions. So in this blog I will try my best to discuss those points again from my point of view. 

We as Indian kids will resonate with each other on many different grounds especially the Gen Z( I am not quite sure what we call the people born before 2000). No matter what our hobbies were we were always asked to perform good in studies and by good I mean we were pressurized to come 1st in class. How many of you were supported for your passion by your parents? In my home we weren't. We are three siblings, I am the middle child and though I am 27 years old now but the pressure of being born in a middle class Indian society has never gone off my shoulders. First a kid of 3 or 4 years is sent to school. In our days we weren't sent to play schools or anything like that. We were made to learn the alphabets, the numbers, everything and had to perform well in exams. The kids who loved studying used to enjoy it but the kids who weren't interested were forced to do so because life is a race and you must run. I was never good at studies and trust me I have been told that I am pathetic daughter, comparisons have been made, I even tried committing suicide, I was beaten and what not just because I wasn't good at it. But my question is did these methods help? I am still pathetic with a lot of trauma now. 

If you readers are trying to understand what I am saying then it is that no child knocks the door of their parents, no child ask their parents to give him/her birth. Bringing a life on to this earth is a parents choice then all of a sudden we are a burden because we are unable to meet their expectations. We as Indian kids find it very normal to be beaten by our parents or teachers but in our hearts we are aware of the trauma it gave us. We ourselves wish that if our parents would have been lenient with us or would have tried different methods to make things easy for us we would have been some very different individuals. And if everybody will opt PCM or PCB then who will work in banks? Who will become IAS officers? Who will become actor? Will there be any shops in our colonies? Will there be any business persons? If I talk about me I sit here a pathetic daughter who failed her exams, who wasn't allowed to pursue her passion, and now I am a loser who failed life. Because life gave me many opportunities to rise and shine, but they were just not the opportunities my parents wanted for me. Now they want me to get married and with so much trauma of past I don't have the courage to move forward.
