Lucknow: A 13-year-old boy allegedly ended his life by hanging after he failed in class 7 examinations. The incident took place in Atsalia village under the limits of the Roza police circle.
The boy, in a suicide note, said that he was being "humiliated" by his teachers at the private school he attended and that his parents had forced him to continue studying despite his struggles.
