Many students suffer from depression because of pressure to study hard

Since we are living in a competitive world, education become the most important factor for everyone. Most of the parent hoped that their children would have higher level of education than another people. Therefore, parents tried to force their children to study hard and get the highest score in class. Also, they give the big promised awards for their children if they can pass the famous school or university entrance exam. In short, the reason why I choose this news article is because it's an important thing that we should consider on. Almost every country of the world are face on this kind problem.

In this article, it talked about a student, name Cao Thi Xuan T, who attempting to end her life by the sleeping pills. She was born into a well-to-do family. T's parents hoped that T would pass the university entrance exams. Furthermore, they will award the LX motorbike, which cost more than one hundred million dong(or 169,128 Baht), for her daughter if she can pass it. This promised awards were very big, and it put a hard pressure on the children. T did not do well on her final exams. So, T's parents tried to force T to study hard, day and night. Everyday, she did not go to bed until two o'clock in the morning. Moreover, when T complained that she was too tried to read books, she got a good scolding from her mother. "You have to try to learn more and more. If you do not pass the exam, you will not only become miserable, but your parents will also feel ashamed to the neighbors. Try to learn if you still love your family," the mother said. However, T did not pass the entrance exam. She did not want to have meals and became close-mouthed. After that, T became aggressive and also had quarrels with her mother. T's parent were very worried about her daughter ,so they decided to install a camera in the daughter's room to keep watch over her. In contrast, it does not help anything. T took 10 sleeping pills to end her life. Now, she was hospitalized.

From my viewpoint, I think this story is very depressing. T was trying to escape from this terrible situation by herself. Not only she could not ask other people to help but also nobody give her a hand even her parents. However, it does not anyone fault. But we should keep this story in our mind and avoid it to happen again.
