Navyashree Goud had been feeling low for a while. She hadn't been doing as well in her mathematics class as she would have liked. But she kept up the effort. A few days back, her teacher gave up on her and taunted that she could die than score poor marks. The 16-year-old gave up too. She cut her wrist, hoping to bleed to death. But she was lucky. Her parents found her bleeding just in time and rushed her to the hospital. "I was mentally disturbed. So without telling my parents, I decided to end my life," the junior college student - as class 11 and 12 classes are referred to in the state are called - told NDTV. Her father, who nearly lost his daughter, had backed her all the way and filed a police case against the teacher in Hyderabad, the common capital of the two Telugu states, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
