Disappointed by her marks in this year's college entrance exams, a high school girl killed herself with poison late last month at her home in Chengjiang County of Yunnan Province.

The day after her death, a postman delivered an enrolment notification from a college in Xi'an of Shaanxi Province.

Seeing the overdue notice, her heartbroken parents wondered why the admission notice had not come earlier.

Experts say that mental health education should be intensified among youngsters since such tragedies are not rare.
