The director think this is a real this that the pressure of school is killing students. In the past students have more freedom than now, and suicide is a weak up call for educators. The first school principals in the city host a counseling session by a suicide prevention program for her teachers. Mahesh Poddar tells the story about his daughter, even it is hard to say.

Reaction:
In this article, the author talks about student suicide. It is the essential problem for educators and students. However school really gives a lot of stress to students. And for adolescences, they do not have matures mindset to afford this pressure. When pressure turn to sorrow and forlorn, people get the only idea is kill themselves. Maybe after this accident people will regret but at that time, less people can have a sensible thought. So the most important thing for educators is change this stressful type of education. Even this can not change right now people should do something to reduce the rate of adolescences suicide.
