（A）
Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy, because they feel heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told to study hard so that they can live a wonderful life. However, many of the students have tried very hard at school but have failed their exams. These students feel sad, and they don't want to go to school anymore. They easily become dropouts (辍学者).
Such students may join the groups of trouble-makers and turn to crime. Though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and it is the teachers' job to help their children. A lot of parents also send their children to other schools in evenings or on weekends, but these only help the students to pass their exams and never teach the students how to understand life and the world. Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything, from the students' hair to their clothes and the things in their schoolbags. Many child psychologists now think that the rules are too strict and harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong, or how to show love for others, even for their parents.
