Suneung: The day silence falls over South Korea
Things like these should make any nation ashamed of itself. This kind of pressure on a growing child can only destroy him or her, and it&#x27;s no wonder why kids are killing themselves. It&#x27;s like planting a ticking bomb in their heads and hoping it wouldn&#x27;t explode if something goes wrong.<p>As a highly educated person myself, I can&#x27;t deny that studying, learning and improving yourselves are fundamental parts of the process of growing up and becoming a useful member of society, but it can&#x27;t be done at the expense of someone&#x27;s sanity, because it totally nullifies its value. Stuffing a kid of knowledge like a  pâté goose stops him or her from really enjoying probably it&#x27;s most critical years to the fullest, and I just can&#x27;t really see this as a positive thing.
