Toxic Pressure and Unrealistic Expectations: When Parenting Turns Fatal

Parenting today can involve toxic pressure and unrealistic exam expectations from elders. Many parents push children hard, believing marks alone decide their future success. However, this parenting approach can harm mental health and strain family bonds severely. Experts warn that extreme academic focus can cause stress, anxiety, and depression. 

Parents need to balance support and guidance without imposing harmful demands on children. This case raises questions on parenting norms and urges safer, kinder family practices. 

Public Shock and Grief: Netizens, Activists Demand Justice and Reform

Anguished messages pour in as readers demand justice and rethink parenting norms. One user wrote, "Tbh Indian parents should learn parenting first they think marks are everything," showing frustration with undue pressure. 

Another wrote, "Why are these parents so adamant on their children's careers? Jab ek cheez nahi ho rahi hai to usko samjho. Kuchh aur try karo," urging empathy over harsh parenting. 

A user wrote, "Very disappointing! How can a father go so cruel? 😒" expressing shock and grief. Lastly, someone noted, "It's not the fault of the parents but the mindset of the Indian education system that makes exams seem life-defining," urging reform.

This tragic case shows the urgent need to change parenting styles and education mindsets now. Families must foster care and respect instead of pressure that risks young lives.
