The task was:
My article:
Exam anxiety on children in our country
The aim of this article is to examine the problems to children in Hungary. A survey has been made by our charity, the ’Young Lives Court’. I’m really concerned about the effects of exam anxiety and I’d like to share the results here. The survey was conducted on 1300 students.
The biggest problem is that almost 100% of the students feel anxious about their exams- to be precise that is 96%.
The second biggest problem is that 66% of the students can’t even sleep well during their exams. They get too anxious about how they can manage through their tests.
The survey shows us the next finding, which says that students don’t receive enough support. Basically, they don’t know how to deal with these kind of feelings by themselves. They would need emotional help from their family, but sadly they don’t get it.
A little more than half of the asked students have reported they even felt pressure from their parents. Looks like that parents push their children instead of helping them through.
Exactly half of the students said they skipped meals due to the stress they have. Personally, I believe that it is crucial that young people get food regularly.
Finally, only 14% of them drink alcohol to relieve stress. Although it is known that alcohol would help them to relax and forget for a while, they are too young to know this fact.
Question arises when you look at all these facts. Does it worth it? Ruining our children’s life when they are at school – as far as I am concerned – is a bad idea.
