i was reading the newspaper and came to an article which talked about the exam fear in the students................recently many students ended their life just because they were not able to cope with the stress....... is it because studies are getting tougher........or because of weight of expectations????

Nowadays,the competition is more and more severe,and the expectation of parents is higher.These make students feel more stressed.Those students in some countries that emphasis the mark are more stressed.Besides, some students work hard,but they are not good at taking exams.This will put stress on them.If these people can not stand the stress,they will think about killing themselves.So I hope that one day,there is no exam any more!

To have no exam is not right way to deal with the the problem.......but to take exams as opertunity to show your leval best can be of some help.

It always comes down to how much pressure the parent put on the children. my parent had expectations but they never threatened me and always made me want to achieve my best so i usually went into exams stress free becuase i had a pretty clear indication on how i would do before i went it.

I have to say that its due to the weight of expectations, if not from themselves then it would come from other people around them, mostly being parents from high standing status. If the students could be stoic, I guess they wouldn't kill themselves and instead try harder next time when oppurtunity permits.

i think stress of the exam came from the way how to pass the subject with colorful grade! i have no other reason to make myself busy with reading and reviewing my subjecs... ahahah Yeah... i get stress also with class standing grade and exam... wakkkksss... my instructors are really "great" in exam... i should prepare more for myself... but i do also other things like playing games and watching dvd, after studying, so i will not being crazy as other students that really study hard, even forget to eat and sleep... ahah

Maybe stress is a killer,or maybe they give themselves a high target.Nowsdays many children have a weak will,they do not know how to confront failure.Parents and teachers should give them the right guide.
