Boards are coming closer as every month passes by and students are growing more and more concerned regarding their performance in the CBSE board examinations. While there are a lot of pitfalls which consume the student’s dedication. None of it as damaging as the dreaded peer pressure. It can destroy friendships and has even driven students towards suicide. Below are some of the steps a student can avoid peer pressure and stay calm while preparing for CBSE board exams:
- Escape the Mob Mentality
What students mostly do is that they just follow what their friends or peers are doing, failing to understand that everyone is different and would have different methods of learning and retaining the course. Consider creating your methods and way of learning such as time tables, setting personal goals. They need to identify their strength and use them for their advantage. Escaping the mob is especially difficult in modern times due to the advent of social media. Students tend to ask each other a lot about their progress. The phrase “How much have you done?” is especially prevalent during the time of boards. Such a message triggers a kind of a rat race among the students which does not reap any kind of substantial result for anybody. Students tend to develop a complex and lose faith in themselves as they go on to overestimate other students’ preparation. Instead, one should focus on their own goals and set a realistic standard for themselves.
