In Dilawars words, He urged parents to keep themselves informed and mindful considering the dangers posed. His statement defined the weight of the issues in regard to parents getting involved when children, particularly those interested in strengthening their careers get closer to depression and suicide due to the ill effects regulators create when enforcing academic achievement.

Peer pressure, love affairs cited as factors

Commenting on the academic ranking of students and love relationships might have contributed to their mental health, he stated, although certain coaching centers may have a very little effect.

In his conclusion, Dilawar said that parents should be more careful about the normal activities of their children and their daily schedule in order to prevent them from going astray.
