Students in China face lots of stress

BEIJING - China's senior high school students suffer a far greater rate of "high or comparatively high stress" than students in three other countries, an international survey has found.

More than 86 percent of Chinese senior high students feel under high stress, compared with 69 percent in Japan, 74.8 percent in the Republic of Korea and 61.7 percent in the United States.

The poll found the top causes of stress in China were parents' expectations, followed by the students themselves.
