Why are almost all the students stressed?

Today the lessons are much more difficult than before. And parents have high expectations for their children. And all of these make the children feel so stressed. They have less time to play. They spend a lot of time to study.

The vital reason for stress in kids is mostly the increasing competition and ever rising expectations.True that stress to some extent will help the kids cope up with things. However it shouldn't be forgotten that learning should be something which helps the children grow rather than something which they loathe.

Peer stress,assighment stress,parents expect too much and staff.We do feel the days are rough sometimes.

it depends on lot of factors. country, school, family living and stability, dedication, etc.

of course they should change the program, if u ask me there should be parents teacher meet for better suggestion,and the program should be of some interest depending on the individuals

Yes .that depends from country to country and family conditions as well..Some parents want their child to excel no matter what is his/her mental conition, then there are some kids who have the burning desire to study well and be successful in life.. And some merely want to get good grades so that they can get a descent job to take care of the family..It all depends on the situations the family goes through..

Are you speaking of small children, teenagers of college students or all of the above? I agree small children shouldn't be stressed. They should learn responsibility, of course, but not to the point where they stop being kids. Teenagers should feel a a little bit more pressure simply because, realistically, they're going to feel it when they get to college.
