study 24 hrs a day

students should be asked by their parents to balance between games and study.. thats because, there'll be no use if the student is just clever n brilliant but NOT physically fit..

You sir (or mam) have not been to a high school lately have you? I being a student, see the kind of kids you are talking about, the scrawny students right? Todays teens, or children still in elementary school, are indeed physically un-fit but not smaller, the problem with todays society in the physical department is obesity. I personally work out every day because well in truth who wants to be un-fit? And as for the studying studying helps mold a child's mind into what it will become and parents do NOT force there students to study and that is the reason kids are so "mentally unfit". It is the lack of work not the over-presence of it that has made todays youths spoiled. But hey if you don't live near me then I've just been rambling on for a paragraph for absolutely no reason =)

well, you should only do what you really like. if you do not like to study, you should be given the freedom not to do so. forcing children to study is ridiculous, especially after a certain age. physical fitness is really important, and thats true even for a higher level of concentration for you to study, so you should never deny it to a child also, there is so much more to life than just studies or money! just go out and enjoy life! its so beautiful. however if you enjoy studying, then nothing like it...

My mom makes my siblings study even during vacations and I don't see any harmful effects on them. They are allowed though to play with their friend every once in a while. It's not healthy if for some reason, the child is being compelled to not have a social life and just study every minute of his/her life. This would make anybody nuts!

Well, i do not necessarily agree. I dont think all parents are as demanding of their kids as you have stated. And i definitely dont think that the physical structure of the kids are on the lower sise. If anything, people/parents are becoming more concious about their and their children's healths. So blaming the parents is not the brightest idea. I must however accept that there are some parents who are guilty of coercion to an unimaginable extent.
