Examination result time, followed by admission time is a challenging one for students and families. The recent SSC results show us that there are several who have top scored in the school board exams. There is a high percentage of students who have passed. Youngsters can now look forward to closing one chapter—that of their school life and opening another, college life and a career path ahead. It is a time of anxiety but excitement, too, as new beginnings beckon.
One has to remember though that this is a high-stress time and teenagers must have mental health help required when necessary. We have certain counselling helplines which become extra busy when results come in. Do encourage the younger generation to seek help if they think they need it. Credible, informative, well-trained counsellors are now available at certain centres, helplines are relatively accessible and any hesitation in seeking help should be unnecessary.
