numbers, reports, statistics and data?

The highest suicide rates belong to those aged 15 - 24 year old.

Classic age. In every household there are various sources of pressure in the minds of young teenage minds. Comparison, competitive exams, expectations from everyone.

Not just academic. 

Children are told to be good at studies at home. And at school, most kids are crushed under peer pressure.

Over 36% of teenagers are bullied on campuses. Soon enough young girls and young boys are told to follow societal norms. 

Girls should be soft and quiet, boys should be strong and tough. Teenagers are taught that expressing themselves the way they want is wrong, often resulting in frustration.

This frustration builds up ruining the rest of their lives.

School for long hours, then unnecessary coaching. Students have no time for themselves. By the time they look up, 25% of them are already hopeless.

But among all these, India lost a seventeen year old Neet aspirant was tortured and killed by her father just because she got low marks in a mock test. 

Another instance being, the sudden death of an engineering student from Jadavpur University. He was a victim of the "ragging culture". He was bullied for hours.

These are just a few instances.

There is so much more to this.

These are numbers, reports, statistics and data.

But this generation is slowly losing themselves in this world with unrealistic expectations.
