This special report examines the issue of student suicides in India, focusing on a case where a 16-year-old boy ended his life, allegedly due to humiliation by teachers over academic performance. The discussion features child psychiatrist Dr. Amit Sen, Prajita Gautam of the Delhi Parents Association, and Dr. Anika Mehrotra, who explore the roles of school pressure, bullying, and the lack of institutional support. Dr. Amit Sen states, ‘In our country, suicide actually ranks as the number one cause of death in young people from the age group of 15 to 25.’ The panel discusses the need for schools to recognize neurodiversity and create a supportive, child-centric environment rather than focusing solely on academic metrics. The conversation also touches upon the responsibilities of school management to monitor teachers, manage stress, and effectively address complaints from parents and students to prevent such tragedies.
