Stress Management:Coping Strategies

The Metro section of The Telegraph dated 21.4.2006 published a really worrying article. It reported that suicide count among students was more than double during the first three months of this year, compared with the same period in the last year. It is mostly the teenaged giris who are ending their lives (ratio : guis 71%, boys 29%). It has also been observed that there is a spurt in suicide cases after Madhyamik and Uchcha Madhyamik examinations or after the publication of results. Sometimes students commit suicide even before the completion of the examination. Does it mean that our young adults specially the giris are succumbing more and more to the ever increasing stressful situation?
