Just read the whole of the deceased NEET aspirant's letter. She was scoring over 590 in her mock tests and was still scared to write the exam. She talks multiple times about the 'expectations' her parents had. She said that if she doesn't get a seat, her parents' hard work will
be in vain. She said was 'afraid' to write the exam. So in this particular case, I think we need to look beyond the politics of the exam. This is a girl who was under immense pressure weighed down by external expectations. Parents may not be standing with a ruler above their
Heads and demanding they study. But clearly high expectations have been set. I personally think counselling, interacting with peers and advice to parents could have prevented this. Does your child have no value without a medical seat? Does her entire self worth have to rely on
Becoming a doctor ? Go tell them that you love them and that their value does not rely on a college seat. As long as we have to deal with NEET, make sure you present other options to them, that they can consider. Stop burdening them with the weight of your expectations.

Well expressed! This issue is above and beyond cheap politics. Its about how we groom our children not to be dependent on one sole motto! The advise should always be that “We are always there for you! if not NEET - you just do whatever you like”

But the irony is she hasn’t thought that her suicide would cause even more pain to her “parents hard work” which she didn’t want to go vain.
The problem is competition and unemployment are weighing too much on the middle and lower class parents and children these days
