The class 10th and 12th exams are over. Children in Kashmir are now enjoying a break after the stress of examinations. I know what it feels, when board exams come to an end. But the only thing I can tell you is to be prepared. Your reaction is different I know. It looks odd when I warn you. Will any disaster strike you in between or anything else? Let me tell you honestly.
Once the examinations are over, the ‘Home Parliament’ debate shifts over to children. Yes, the parents only have right to decide the future of their child! But the ‘Bill of Future’ was already passed by the home parliament when you were born. Suggestions about your future were also taken from other ‘Relatives’ ministry which was also discussed upon. Also, neighborhood parties provided their suggestion in front of your parents. Unfortunately, whose future is being discussed upon is under ‘PSA’ (Parents Slavery Act). One cannot put forth one’s views about future. It looks like a political process. Indeed it is. The children only know what it feels when your future is being discussed and your interest is not taken into consideration.
Whenever a child is born in Kashmir, his/her parents decide what he/she will do in the future. The only two professions that each parent tries to thrust upon their kids are that of a doctor or an engineer. The parents decide themselves what their children would be in future. Not all parents but some thrust their choice on their children and it leads their child to different problems.
A child becomes victim of hypertension, stress, anxiety, drugs, smoking and even suicide. They don’t see the hidden talents of their child in them. Rather force them to take their choice only. And a child becomes a victim of these problems.
When children grow up, they see their interest in such a field in which they can be happy as well as can satisfy them. The God has sent them with some natural talents. Unfortunately, parents don’t see this thing and force their children to a particular choice. Anyone who bags 90% marks in board exams, is considered superior to others. They can take science stream even if they have no interest in it. Second category is of those who score up to 70%. They are considered to be in Commerce stream as like in Kashmir, such candidates can become businessmen. The third category belongs to Arts stream. If a child scores 60% in board exams, he is considered good enough for arts. He cannot become something in life and is considered to be a failure. This is how our society thinks today. It is a truth and no one can deny it. But what a pity! On academic performance, we decide the future of a child. That’s what we do.
