Dear Students, Don’t Even Think of Suicide: Your #MarksDontMatter

Yet again, students are committing suicide because they, or their parents, feel that their "board marks aren't good enough". So we at The Quint are asking you to send a message to those young students who are thinking about harming themselves or taking their own lives. What would you like to tell them? Record a short video or write a couple of lines and post it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Please use the hashtag #MarksDontMatter. And we’d be glad if you tag @TheQuint so that we can collate all of these videos and messages from across the country.

Spread the word! ❤️Here are some of the responses we’ve got so far!

Yet again, students across India are committing suicide because they (or their parents) feel that their "board marks aren't good enough".
NOBODY should have to feel that way!
Join us as we reassure our young students - "You are SO MUCH MORE than your grades!"❤️#MarksDontMatter pic.twitter.com/lHOeTITs0d
