HOW TO HANDLE THEM BOLDLY TO FEW SITUATIONS WHICH MAY TEMPT ONE TO COMMIT SUICIDE ( concluded ) PROBLEM - 4 I have got very few marks in my exams . I m afraid t face my parents . They will scold m . How can I show my face t them ? I m depressed & feel like ending my life . SOLUTION : You have prepared well for your examinations . Your parents know very well that you r intelligent , sincere & honest . Even if you r not intelligent , you have tried t the best of your ability . How can you think that they will scold you ? There may b other reasons t get less marks . And even if your parents scold you , what does it matter ? It is their duty t give you good education so that they will b free from worry about your future . They want t see you well-settled in life . They love you & therefore they have the right t scold you . Dont b so sensitive . Bear it . Try t convince them that you have tried t the best of your ability , & also assure them that next time you will try t do better . Do not b afraid , but b bold t open out your mind t your parents . If you find it extremely difficult for you t cope with subjects in school or college request them t allow you t go for a change . All cannot get first rank & achieve merit . Out of thousands there will b a few who r toppers . What about the remaining ? Do you mean that others r worthless & useless ? Who knows they may shine in some field or other . Search your own talents . Find out your own interests & try t master them . You may not b good in studies ; but who knows you may become a good artist , singer , poet , champion , cricketer , politician , or a businessman . It is not necessary that all should become doctors , engineers or software professionals . There r many options . Convince your parents about your goal in life . They will certainly listen t your request . If it is within their reach they will surely try t help you . Many great scientists & philosophers were dropouts from school ; but they became great . Dont entertain negative thoughts . Never think of committing suicide even in your dreams . These exams r nothing . You will have t face many more exams in real life . If you r mentally weak , how will you face problems in real life ? Do your duty perfectly & b content with whatever you achieve . Next time take up a challenge t perform better , work a little harder , b confident & prove through your actions that you r no less than others . That is the way t come up in life , not by ending life . God has not given this life t waste it in that way . ( Excerpts from the book Youth ! Arise Awake & know your Strength published by Vivekananda Institute of Human Excellence , RAMAKRISHNA MATH , Hyderabad ) Good Morning friends & may U always b blessed .. JAI JAGANNATH
