Stress is the major disorder among the students.No matter in which class they are studying . I observed from the review of different research articles ,that as the students are proceeding in higher classes they are taking more stress and finally what will be result ? simply they are depressing themselves .

In my previous article, I tried my best to categorize stress . As I elaborate again and  again in my article that stress when it exceeds it will cause depression .Yes , as a student you should take some stress about your weak subjects , your tests or exams and your results . But try to cope with it before it exceeds and makes you depress . Remember it is very easy to cope with stress in comparsion with depression . According to some physcological researches,  it had been conclued that many students are committing sucide just because of depression .

A RESEARCH MADE ON THE STUDENTS OF EAST ASIA (MAJORITY ON KOREAN STUDENTS )
INTRODUCTION:

Suicide is one of the three leading causes of death for adolescents and young adults world wide .In ASIAN COUNTRIES like HONGKONG,TAIWAN and  SINGAPORE . Suicide is rare in childern but in KOREA which is locate in EAST ASIA .The suicide rates are high among the youth between 10 to 14 years of age ,and 15 to 24 years age group , their is a dramatic increase in absloute number . Hence, suicide in childern and adolscents is also concern in ASIAN countries 

THIS GRAPH IS SHOWING SUICIDE RATES IN SOUTH KOREA . 

ACADEMIC STRESS AND SUICIDAL IDEATION:

The association between school or academic stressors and suicide ideation among adolescents has been well documented in several research studies .In their studies they show that number of suicide cases in year usually peaked during examination a high level of stress in school .

some researchers have argued that in EAST ASIAN countries like KOREA this academic stress suicidal ideation link among adolescents could possibly  be even stronger given the familial and cultural demands for academic excellence . Therefore,childern are socialized from young to be hypersensitive to the judgment of others ,specially significant other such as parents or teachers .

JON ET ALL examined factors contributing to suicidal behaviour in 9886 high KOREAN SCHOOL adolescents and found that students who reported feeling a high level of stress regarding academic performance and higher education were more like to have serious thoughts about suicide than those students who didnot experience academic stress. 

DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE IDEATION :

Depression is frequently associated with suicidal ideation and suicidal behaviour in adolescents the depression suicidal ideation link has also been documented in research studies conducted with ASIAN adolescents . 

The sample size of more than 9000 KOREAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ,JOUN ET AL found depression to be the strongest and more cosistent predictor of suicidal behaviour , students who had high scores on depression were5.31 times more likely to report  Suicidal ideas and 3 .19 times more likely to attempt suicide , as compared to those with low scores .

PREDICTIONS:

The research reviewed suggests that academic stress is positively associated with adolescents depression and with suicidal 

ideation.

From the researches which I share with you, you  will get an idea how academic stress is causing death among youngsters .  Not only the students of PAKISTAN and KOREA are committing suicide , it is common in ASIAN COUNTRIES .

So,try to cope with stress. Always do the activities which will keep you far away  from stress  .
