Exam pressure is destroying students' mental and emotional health.
Exam stress and pressure is slowly destroying and damaging our young generations' mental, physical and emotional health. I am a 16 year old student and I have had enough. This is not ethically or humanly right. This is wrong. Why does a 16 year old have to endure such ridiculous and deadly amounts of stress in order to prove that they have retained the information? Why do we have to prove that we are smart enough or resilient enough or strong enough - mentally - to undergo preposterous and absurd amounts of exam stress and pressure ? Do you really want our youngest generations - who have the attitudinal and intellectual ability to socially, environmentally and ethically (as well as permanently) change our world for the better- to fall under the shadows of suicidal and cynical depression due to exam pressure? Exam stress is so detrimental that the majority of students feel suicidal. This is absolutely insane. It is unmistakable that the education systems needs to be changed. This needs to stop now. If this prejudicial cycle of exam pressure does not stop, there will be no humanity. There will be no human race because you need us. The world needs us. Its time the world listened to us.
