Examination pressure is a buzzword here.
In 2013 alone, 2,471 suicides in India were attributed to "failure in examination," according to the National Crime Records Bureau. It's a stark reminder of how teenagers and students are disproportionately affected by India's suicide crisis, but the academic pressure students face isn't just in school — it's at home, too.
In a bid to de-stress students and their parents, beverage-maker Mirinda launched a unique social experiment called #ReleaseThePressure.
In #ReleaseThePressure, a bunch of high school students reveal their deepest fears around examinations by penning letters to their parents — who are more often than not the source of that stress. The parents are then called upon separately to read those letters.
What comes out is one side's longing to be understood and the other side's desire to understand. Perhaps. Watch for yourself above.
