A Reddit post shared by a CBSE Class 12 student has started a wider conversation online about pressure from parents after board exam results. The student claimed their father reacted harshly after seeing the marks, leading to both emotional and physical punishment at home. The post included a photo of a broken laptop lying on the floor. According to the student, the situation became worse in the days after the results were announced, with the family allegedly taking away basic comforts as punishment. Student Shares Ordeal After Results The student posted on Reddit, “Ik I am late here, but this is what my father did after 12th results were out,” while sharing a picture of the damaged laptop. The user then explained what happened at home after scoring 57.4 per cent in the CBSE Class 12 exams. “And if that wasn’t enough, he took away my room and bed from me, and makes me sleep on the floor now. I am facing verbal, physical, mental and emotional abuse since the results are out. (I got 57.4%, Essential Repeat).” The image showed the laptop badly damaged and lying in pieces on the ground. The student’s post quickly drew attention from other users, many of whom said they had either gone through similar experiences or knew someone who had faced harsh treatment because of exam marks. A screenshot of the post on Reddit The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared the Class 12 results on May 13 this year. According to official figures, 17,80,365 students registered for the exams. Out of them, 17,68,968 appeared and 15,07,109 students passed. Internet Reacts To Viral Reddit Post Many users criticised the father’s reaction and spoke about the pressure students often face in Indian households after board exam results. A user wrote, “Indian parents’ things, breaking laptops and just expressing their way of anger. Then they’ll say we waste their money. Actually, they themselves are wasting their own things. Your results are not solely your mistake. It’s theirs also. I am also going through this phase. Be silent, work and just do hard work. That’s the only option. Indian society will never change. Until the new generation.” Another commented, “If you were addicted to it, then taking it away or keeping it locked might have helped, but breaking it is a stupid thing.” A user tried to encourage the student and wrote, “I don’t even know what to say, man. Stay strong. You got this. Maybe if you can, spend some time with your friends outside to divert your mind. Study hard and prove them all wrong. You can do it.” Another comment read, “Soak it all in. Take deep breaths. Remember how you feel right now. Take a pledge not to repeat this treatment with your kids when you’re a parent yourself. Break the generational curse.” Some users also shared different experiences from their own homes. A person wrote, “My dad was happy that I “passed”. Mithai bhi baate apne neighbours aur staff mein.”
