You know I would love to meet one Desi mom who boasts about her son who dropped out of high school to flip burgers, or her daughter who backpacked across Europe with her trippy hippie boyfriend attending all the rock fests and raves. That would be awesome.

i guess i must be getting bad at this.😆 but that was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. 😊

nothing wrong with that, but that get out of jail free card can only be used once, so use that wisely when you think you cannot get any lower marks

I can identify with you coz even i am in the 10th. my class mates have already started taking the extra coaching classes and tutions etc etc and now they are trying to talk me into doing it!!😭(although i always say NO whenever they offer me to come to the classes) 6 hrs u spend in school, then 3 hours of extra classes, then min. 8 hrs u need 2 sleep and now u have only 7 hrs for urself........the teachers have started giving lecture about how important it is to score in boards. the school managment has even cut down 20 days from our summer holidays and during that time they will give us extra classes in school!!!!!!!!!!😭😭 At times i feel like running away........

i think its good to stress out.. it prepares for what the future holds.... life is always about not only withstanding stress but also shining on hte way... 😊

Reminds me of my cousin in India. Whenever it is her son's exams, it seems like it is more of her exams than her son's

Honestly, in retrospect I think I would have performed better if I was under less stress during my school and under-grad days and the subjects I prepared for without stress, I always ended up scoring more in those.

From our under-grad batch, most people who were average scorers have better jobs and are doing better in their jobs than toppers 😊

aww even i m scared i just gave my class 12 exams so very nervous now i m preparing for my entrance exams god i feel very scared what if i dont get admission just feels like siuciding but by suiciding i cant get anything so i just believe in my self and hope for the best and yes believe in the lord he will surely help us in our scariest times 😊 😛

.....and they just asked me last weekend whether I miss my teen years...whether I'm stressed out for being 39 😆 😆 😆 I feel I'm living the bestest time of my life. Neither too young to be silly head and nervous and worried about what future holds for me nor too old to be not able to do stuff I love to do!!!

All the best to peeps who wrote their boards or will be writing them next year or so 😊

p.s. okie, I take back that comment about being "silly head" during teens. I think I still get silly at times. Actually I did more silly things in my 30's than I ever did when I was a teenager😆

I study last minute... Umm, always 😳 For some reason it seems to work well for me. But during my 10th grade, i slogged for about 2 months towards the end, and trust me, the joy you get when you write the last paper and walk out the hall is something i'll never forget!!!

11th grade's gone and it's my board year again now... Lol I hope it goes as good as 10th!

But seriouslt speaking, i personally feel that there's no need to stress out till the last few months. If you're not too great a student, then pay attention and work hard. If you're an average or a moderately high scorer, study well for all your exams in the middle of the year, and you'll be well prepared for the boards!!! And don't take too much tension of what parents say, they're just worried and not sure how they can help. 😆
