    Today's children are living under more pressure from the society than children I the past. To what extent do you agree or disagree with those opinions?

　　In this day and age, heated debate has been going on about whether children in earlier times are more stressful than current children.

　　There are ample reasons for someone to proclaim that children live in modern society assume more stress. First of all, with a vast number of opportunities offered by universities, youths are more accessible to receive tertiary education. As a consequence, they would be confronted with cruel competitions among peers. And they also learn a wide array of subjects involve in many fields. Moreover, the increasing number of undergraduates is accompanied with degrees' less values. It is generally accepted that decent jobs are hard to find an present. Besides, families tend to have only one child, when children grow up, they shoulder obligations of taking care of their parents without cousins' assistance. Lastly, people are materialistic. They pursue high stand of consuming, and impart this attitude to their children, and children are living in the shadow of profits and money, which render them worried about salaries in the future,

　　On the other hand, it is worth pointing out that there are also arguments supporting the opinion that children are afflicted with more pressure several decades ago. The main one may be individuals used to pursue survivals simply. For instance, people were enduring starvation and misery in 1960s in China, the majority of them even couldn't survival. Thus, meeting foundational demands seemed to be pretty difficult for them. In addition, when economic developed somewhat better, few of adolescents had chance to receive high education. It was hard to be outstanding among massive amount of people. Notwithstanding this, an apparent problem with this opinion is that children nowadays have similar standard of education which breeds peer pressure easily. Consequently, we should not overlook the fact that pursuing materials is harder than satisfying basic needs.

    By way of conclusion, regarding this issue, my opinion is that children live in different eras encounter situations differently. An individual could not experience childhoods in distinct ages. Also, I would argue that it seems highly advisable for the psychological organizations to dedicate more energy to children's mental well-beings.

    希望所有的孩子都可以快乐的学习，幸福的生活，有书有阳光！
