Tragedy happen in Hong Kong. Seventeen studends suicide since this academic year start. There are seventeen studends suicide since this academic year start. A third year Chinese University medical student took her own life on last Saturday who was the fifth suicide. After that, two of the higher education institution students were also taken their own lives in the same period. That’s tragedies conributing to more worrying about the teenager these day in Hong Kong. In general, most of the media reported it and said study pressure and lack of love and care from teachers and families are the main reasons. I’m completely agree. First of all, Hong Kong economic system is very tend to business nowaday, everything is expensive but most of the job’s salary are still very low such as hospitality. Many people can’t afford for a samll apartment even he or she have already working for over 10 years. If they want to get a great income then they have to work as a professional such as Doctor or Fiancal Manager. Meanwhile you must become a degree holder or more. So subconsciously, everyone agree that ‘academic qualificion equal to your personal idetification’ and ‘education level effect your happiness level’. Second, the societal environment in recent year, which values ‘winning at the starting line’ and competition makes students and parents suffer from it. Parents wants their children obtain a degree since their baby was born. By then, how many family days and activities which actually most important for children had been sacrificed? Instead of it are unlimited homework and extracurricular lesson. To solve this problem, one of the professor of university said institution should be enhance their conselling support for students, especially for university. Because since 2012 Hong Kong education system switch to six year secondary and four year university makes students enter university earlier than before, it might cause them a pressure if they not yet ready for university life. In my opinion, I would suggest that parents to appreciate their children in all-round not only focus on study acheivement. Get alone with children as much as they can. Because we only live once, there are many different way to live our life. There are many things waiting for us to discover. Rich isn’t equal to happiness, Bachelor does not guarantee future. On the other hand, government should be control the price index more properly and increase more academic degrees for different subject such as sport and music.

Tragedy has happened in Hong Kong. Seventeen students have committed suicide since this academic year started.

There has been seventeen students that have committed suicide since this academic year started. A third-year Chinese University medical student took her own life last Saturday is the fifth person to have committed suicide. Soon after, two higher-level students also took their own lives. These tragedies have contributed to more concern about teenagers these days in Hong Kong.

For most cases, the media has reported them. The media has also said that pressures from the students' studies and the lack of love and care from teachers and families are the main reasons. I completely agree. First of all, Hong Kong's economic system is more suited for businesses nowadays - everything is expensive, but most job’s salaries are still very low, such as hospitality. Many people can’t afford a small apartment even if they have been working for over 10 years. If they want to get a great income, then they have to work in a high-level occupation - such as a Doctor or Financial Manage - which also means that you must have achieved a degree or other qualification. It has become subtly accepted that ‘people are defined by their qualifications’ and ‘education level affects your happiness level’.

Secondly, the societal environment in recent years, which values competition and the idea of ‘winning at the starting line’, makes students and parents suffer. Parents want their children to obtain a degree as soon as they can, and work towards it from their childhood. In that time, how many family days and activities, which are very important for children's development, are sacrificed? Instead, there is seemingly unlimited homework and extracurricular lessons.


To solve this problem, a university professor proposed that institutions should be enhance their counselling support for students, especially for university. Because since 2012, Hong Kong's education system switch to a six-year secondary and four-year university has made students enter university earlier than before, which might cause them more pressure if they are not yet ready for university life. In my opinion, I would suggest that parents should appreciate their children not only for study and achievement, but for everything else. Spend time with their children, as much as they can. Because we only live once, there are many different ways to live our lives. There are many things waiting for us to discover. Money does not equal happiness, a Bachelor does not guarantee your future. In conclusion, I believe that governments should be adjust the economic system properly, in order for striving students to access more academic degrees for different subjects, such as sport and music.
