The Pressure of Being a Student

By Kazuna Yamasaki

These days, there are the pressures of being a student. It causes a big problem in society. There are a lot of kinds of pressures. Especially they are a society that stresses academic background, comparing with other students, and strict rules of school.


A society that stresses academic background gives students a big pressure. For example, four-year college students start job hunting in Japan. Then, many companies care which college students graduate from. So, if students have good personalities or special abilities, some companies may not care. For that reason, students think they have to enter a famous college. In addition, their parents expect that their sons or daughters go to famous colleges and get good jobs. It makes students feel a lot of stress.

Comparing with other students is one of the causes that makes students feel pressures. They may want to win. For instance, scores of test, the results of sports, and so on. It may arouse the urge to make an effort for some students. However, some students feel a sense of inferiority, and they may be troubled.

Strict rules of school give students pressures. The school rules are important, but too many strict ones are not good for students. Students many want to wear clothes they like. Also, they may want to bring their cell phones. However, many schools have rules. Students have to wear the uniforms. In some schools, students can’t bring their cell phones. Students feel stress because they have to endure what they don’t want to do.

These problems need to be considered to find solution strategies. However, it hasn’t been done yet. We have to think of some solutions so that students spend their school life comfortably.
