one of my students last year was suffering from some physical problem. As a result he became so depressed that he attempted suicide by consuming some pesticide. but timely medical aid saved his life. but then he decided to drop out of 10+2 board exam. his parents tried their level best to persuade him to appear in exams but all in vain. he stopped coming to school. then I counselled him for many days and encouraged him to appear. he appeared and passed 10+2 with good marks. after the exams he has been coming to me as he feels comfortable talking to me.
