Al Jazeera: South Korea’s exam suicides

In South Korea, an 18 year old has committed suicide in the city of Daejeon - just hours before he was due to take a university entrance exam.

Teen suicide rates have risen by more than a third in the last decade - and the intense pressure to succeed academically is often the cause.

This is seriously the scariest thing every. I don’t live in a similar situation in Australia. I have exam pressure for HSC but this is absurd. It would be my worst nightmare to have a life like theirs. I really do pray for all the students in Korea who have gone through this or are yet to. My heart goes out to you all.
