If you guys have read the newspapers recently, you should have noticed the headlines... " 14-year old boy punches teacher and woman counsellor ". After reading this headline, I myself feel quite shocked. How could this Sec 2 Zhonghua Secondary school boy do such a thing. In the article, it states that the boy had personal problems at home like in his family. Well, that is kind of sad to hear. Are teenagers nowadays turning to the agressive side? Maybe, it is not only his own personal life that is too blame, but maybe the stress level of children now in Singapore?
Nowadays, stress is really inevitable. Tests and Exams seem to always be around the corner and homework mounts up everyday. Plus, there are also many other activities after school like tuition and CCA, maybe even some school events or external courses. It is really no wonder why the boy had succumbed to the large amount of stress imposed on him.
Are you a victim of stress?
