Japanese students work very hard bout many are very unhappy. They feel great pressure from their parents to do well in school and in college. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have successful future .Although this may be good advice for those who are very bright, it can have very had results for many students who are not quick enough at learning. Unfortunately ,a umber of students actually kill themselves. Others are after comfort I using drugs .Some students ,however, do had things with groups of bad people and turn to crime ,Many of them have tried very hard at school but ,in spite of all their tries, have failed in certain examinations and have disappointed their parents.

It is surprising that although most Japanese parents are anxious for their children to do well at school, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are unable to help their children with their lessons and that it is the teachers job to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents sent their children to special schools called juku-cram schools .These schools are open during the evenings and on weekends ,and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams :they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the world. Thus comes a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior high school population attend these cram schools. Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the length of students hair their clothes and things in their school bags .Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in becoming good citizens. ( ) 16.
