　　Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures(压力)from their parents to do well in schoot. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be good ideas for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students because they are not gifted(有天赋的)enough. As it is reported, a number of students killed themselves. Others try to get the feelings of taking drugs(毒品). Some join the groups of trouble-makers and turn to crime(犯罪). Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hopes. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts. It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends—they only help students to pass exams and never teach students any real sense(判断)of the world. It is a great surprise that almost three-quarters of middle school students have been to such kind of schools. Many Japanese schools usually have rules(规章)about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and the things in their school bags. Child psychologists(心理学家)now think that such strict rules are harmful(有伤害的)to the feelings of the students. Almost 40％ of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong, how to show love for others, even for their parents.
