Alea, in India, too the pressure to perform in studies is huge and schoolkids do suicide here, but I think it's not yet that alarming.
Though it's sad if even a single such incident takes place.
I had classmates who started crying after she found a mistake in one of her exam question post exam. If she had not made the mistake, she would have scored 100.
I had another friend who was so stressed during exam that after that, he went to the 4th floor railing (4 story building) and look down, then went to the third floor railing and look down, then the same thing on the second floor. On the first floor, he lay down and started having a seizure.
