I am very depressed. Mujhe ghar par din bhar negative baatein boli jaati hai.
Maine do baar suicide attempt kiya hai par mere family ke upar uska koi effect
nahi hua hai. They said that I am doing nautanki. I need some help.

I have seen that most of the times, people judge you by how good a student
you are. Two of the most common sayings I hear are, ―He is a good boy; he
never comes second in class.‖ or ―He is so intelligent. Have you seen his
marks?‖ I want to let everyone know that marks don‘t make a person good or
bad; their behaviour determines this.
My roommate committed suicide because his parents didn‘t understand that
studies don‘t make someone a good or bad person. I have seen my roommate
hang and I have been through a lot of mental trouble myself. I am very lucky
that my parents supported me and today, I am successful in my own way. I am
doing what I always wanted to do.

I am a 3D animator and a VFX artist. I work in Tamil Nadu. I was forced to
take up Science after class 10 when I actually wanted to do a diploma in
animation. Days passed and I kept dreaming about a career in animation.
When the results of my first year of Science exams were due, I was very scared.
I attempted suicide on that day and my friends took me to a hospital. I had
scored 86% in my class 10 Board Exams, but I scored only 48% in my first year
of Science. At last, my parents agreed and I joined an animation course. I was
the top student in that course, but my parents were still not proud of me as it
wasn‘t engineering. Is a student not allowed to choose what he or she wishes
to study? We must do something about this and the increasing student
suicides.
