Ryan school murder case: who is guilty? Teenage or parenting?

The CBI has claimed that Class 11 student slit seven-year-old Pradhyumn's throat after luring him inside the school washroom on September 8 as he wanted the school to postpone the exams and parent-teacher meeting (PTM).So its all about exam's fear or we can say parent's pressure for scoring good marks.Class 11th exam score is no big deal for admission to further colleges. Even after that ,the student is so forced by himself to do that kind of thing. Isn't it that force drive came from their parents but indirectly. 
The new survey by ChildLine found that 92% of young people feel anxious about their revision and exams.  While most young people are able to manage their anxiety, vulnerable young people are turning to alcohol (14%) and self harm (8%) to cope. This presents a significant safeguarding concern for these vulnerable young people.
Results from the ChildLine poll also found:
  •  Other main causes of anxiety for young people are not getting into university or college (57%) and fears about sitting the exam (56%)
  •  Almost two thirds (64%) say they’ve never had any support in dealing with exams
  • Almost half (45%) of children and young people say they have skipped meals due to anxiety about exams
  • Two thirds (64%) of those surveyed said they have had trouble sleeping
  • Talking to friends (43%) is the most common way of dealing with exam anxiety        
  • INTO A JUVENILE’S MIND
  • Poverty has always bred resentment, a root-cause of many crimes. But over the years, a fast-changing and developing society has introduced other insecurities. “Across socio-economic and educational groups children are affected by parents not spending quality time with them, and by an increasingly competitive world,” says Dr Rajesh Kumar, director, Society for Promotion of Youth and Masses. According to him, there are a few factors that are specific to each group. In lower middle class families, for instance, where both parents are working, children grow up in a vacuum. In middle class families, parents have multiple expectations from the child, including high grades in school. This often makes the school environment a threatening one for the child. When children fail to cope, depression may lead to substance abuse, and then crime. In high-income families, almost every amenity is provided to the child either from a desire by parents to maintain their own status in society or to satisfy the ego of the child.
