“Parents are the only cause for many suicides”-
“Due to excessive greed of parents, frustrated and depressed children later commit suicide”, told, Karunanidhi, Head of the Department, Department of Psychology, University of Madras.
He further told, ‘Parents make their own children the scapegoat just for the sake of a false pride. Many parents thrust their desires and interest on their children without even understanding the children’s interest. As they frequently compare their children with others, they become the sole reason for decreasing the children’s self-esteem. They formulate them into memorizing instruments by providing a false picture in the mind of children that education alone is life. Hence, as days go by they develop an aversion towards studies.
Lot of changes occur in the body and mind only during teenage. Even trivial incidents and words make this group easily emotional. At this point of time they need the touch and loving soothing words of parents. Allotting exclusive time for their children, parents need to spend more time talking freely. It is very important to enlighten them with the knowledge of latest courses available, the job opportunities it offers and above all what is right and what is wrong.
Encourage them to take the field that they are interested. Countries like America have got community colleges. Several persons with interest in technical, repair and creativity activities have joined these colleges and become great entrepreneurs. Such types of facilities are not available in our country'. The Department of Psychology, Madras University provides free training to below average students.
