Pressure may not be the source of power for students
Nowadays, students are facing much pressure than ever before. The explosion of knowledge as well as the population, are throwing great pressure on most students. Throughout our school lives, we are facing the same issue----pressure, which might vary in degree in different periods.
When a child begins to go to school, he is likely to get comparison. Ranking is essential to students, even in kindergarten. Kids are learning all kinds of things, which seems to be a competition between different families. However, the so-called all-round development is robbing children’s freedom and put great pressure on them . I know a little girl who always gets nearly full score in English but is still forced to have many lessons during the holiday. She once ended her composition with “what a happy Saturday!” But I knew she wasn’t really happy. She had been taught to wrote in that way. I can’t imagine how many kids are living their school lives like this, but I am sure she couldn’t be the only one. Little time for fun she may have, she’s not lonely in the big city, as a busy bee.
While in some poor areas, students are also studying under great pressure. “Knowledge can change the destiny of a family!” They are t aught to study hard the first year in shool. As they grow up, they are taught that entering a good university means a bright future. But for the bright future, they have to face great pressure, from the school, the society, their classmates and parents. They are taught not to be satisfied with what they achieve, because they can’t imagine how outstanding those children in big cities are. “Time is the only thing
you can use to make up our shortage or resources.” “If you don’t push yourself, you will never kn ow how excellent you are.” Some students can make good use of pressure, while others have mental problems. The great pressure stop some from focus on study. They don’t have confidence in themselves and become negative. When the pressure is more than they can stand, sinking, depression, and even suicide arise.
Most students find university lives quite different from what they have expect. Universities are not heaven but another big challenge in students’ lives. “Only when I entered university did I be gin to miss my Middle school life.” This is the voice of some students. All the pressure we faced in high school is following us, which is even greater. Besides that, we have to consider more about our future. We gradually realized that a good university d oesn’t mean a good employment, which doesn’t indicate a bright and happy future, either. Poverty and the lack of social experience may deprive a student’s confidence. If university students fail to face the pressure properly,
Many students ,younger or older, living in big cities or in the villages, are facing great pressure. We can’t change the reality, the fierce competition and the explosive population in a short time, so we must learn to adjust ourselves and change pressure into power.。
