Nowadays, more and more teenagers have too much pressure. They find their schoolbags are getting heavier and hours they spend on their homework are becoming longer. They think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies. But their parents think the hobbies can get in the way of their schoolwork. Should parents allow their children to make their own decisions?
Liu Ying, a fifteen-year-old girl, is a singing star at school. She always wants to be a professional singer when she grows up.

Doctors say too much pressure is bad for children's development. Society should pay more attention to the health of teenagers.
