You think you may have the inexorable vigor and drive to succeed when you work in the name of your family. However, youngsters these days are pinned by a seemingly insurmountable pressure to succeed from their family. By all means, this is a complex issue, with underlying roots and long-term consequences.
The causes behind this phenomenon take their origins from societal and cultural context which led parents to be stressors. First and foremost, parents may go overboard with the idea that the only way to find happiness is to succeed in life and to do that comes in “studying”. To the younger demographic, their goal in life is to enjoy youth, to have fun and to equip themselves with the tools needed to brave adulthood with all its hardships. When parents instill their expectations and beliefs into their offspring, warranted or not, the youngsters are subjected to more work, more deadlines and more self-inflicted afterthoughts. On top of that, some cultures, typically in Asia, tend to ascribe a major significance to family honor and lineage pride. And thus the issue would find itself exacerbated out of normal proportions.
The effects and backlashes of pressure are negative to some extent. How would it feel to bear the weight of the world on your shoulders? One may feel intense stress as a result of all the work. A tall order as it is, success requires magnitudes of time and effort. When the pressure becomes too great, given that the mental capacity for stress may vary from person to person, it is probable that some form of psychological damage is in order. For example, youngsters may lose interest in their hobbies or become tirelessly depressed as a result of them putting themselves into the grind in view of pleasing their parents. Even if they were to succeed, would they be able to make up for the lost time, the things they probably have missed?
To my view, the pressure to succeed can be used as a tool to motivate, encourage proactiveness and bring about wealth and prosperity for those who can follow through. Yet it finds itself overused and distorted in its application. Hence people end up stressed out by the future.
Overall, the causes to this issue are most often antiquated social beliefs and the consequences are vast. Maybe schools and educational institutions can take part in raising awareness and guiding family on the right path.
