   Not only western parents are obsessed with having their children climb up to elite colleges, so are Chinese parents. It seems that being accepted to elite colleges is the only way for children to be successful. Teenager students sacrifice their spare time and weekend on endless assignments and tasks so that they are well equipped to enter the fierce competition about winning to enter elite colleges or universities. However, with the high rate of suicide and depression among our adolescents nowadays, question should be asked why do so many of our teenagers feel life is hopeless, helpless and even not worth living? Even though parents act with their best of intentions, believing that the prestige and networking opportunities associated with elite colleges or universities is necessary for children’s success, in fact, do they ever cared about what their children want; have they ever asked their children what their dream is and what they like to be and to do in the future? Why parents take for granted that their plan for the children is the best and the children have to follow? Another example is given by the professor in class, he said once some teachers were upset because they didn’t know what kind of class could attracting most participating and engagements from students. Then the professor said why didn’t you ask your students what kind of classes they would like to have? Most of the time, parents and educators tend to think from their point of view, they often forget that their children and students are also human beings with their own ideas and thoughts. We feel wrongly accused that we offer the best we could to the teenagers, how dare they treat our good intentions with suicide. But do children and students really want what we have provided, things that we’ve never asked their likeness or not?
