My sister tried to commit suicide
Today CBSE Class 12 results were announced, and after almost a year, I finally came back home. I’m not on good terms with my father and stepmother, but I came back for my sister.
When the results were declared, I checked them first and didn’t tell my little sister that she had failed in three subjects, which means she has to repeat Class 12 again. It was a huge shock because she has always been a bright student and was at the top of her class until 11th grade.
Before I could even talk to her, she slammed the door shut, locked herself inside, and started screaming and crying. I panicked and kept trying to get her to open the door, but all I could hear was her crying. Then suddenly, everything went silent complete pin-drop silence.I broke the door open, and there she was, trying to hang herself.
I can’t blame my sister. I blame the education system and my parents. She used to be such a sweet girl, full of life, but ever since my father got remarried, she slowly lost that spark. I was cut off from her too. Right now, I’m staying with her and taking care of her. I’m taking her with me to Delhi. I’m not leaving her here with my parents.
But in the meantime, I don’t know what else I should do.
TLDR: I came home after a year for my younger sister on the day CBSE Class 12 results were announced. She failed in three subjects despite always being a bright student. Before I could talk to her, she locked herself in a room and attempted suicide after seeing her result. I broke the door and stopped her in time. I believe the toxic environment at home and pressure around studies pushed her to this point. I’m staying with her now and plan to take her with me to Delhi so she’s safe and away from my parents.
