Duck Syndrome - In 100 words or less

When you look at a duck gliding serenely across the water, it's easy to miss the frantic paddling of its feet.

This analogy can be extended to students as well - many of them look calm and composed outside, concealing their stress, an amalgamation of the prevailing "Fake it till you make it" mentality.

This "Duck Syndrome" becomes a vicious cycle of peer pressure and unrealistic expectations, which leads to anxiety and depression.

The best way to escape this trap is to express your mental issues and try to become a better version of yourself, instead of the best.
