Korea has the most unhappy kids in the World
It’s no secret that many Korean students are miserable, especially in high school, as they prepare for the highly competitive College Scholastic Ability Test, which determines entry into college. (The most prestigious are the elite SKY schools: Seoul National, Korea, and Yonsei universities. Attendance at these schools confer large advantages on graduates once they hit the labor market.)
Compounding the stress are expectations from Korean parents, which are some of the highest in the world, according to the OECD. (From Quatrz)

Parents expect too much of their children in Korea, i see from the chart above that my country Portugal is also not well placed. What is the point of everybody to want their children to be a boss/Top of the pyramid? In a Company as well a boat crew there is only 1 Captain, some officers and the rest are seaman Lot's of seaman. What is the point of putting all the children to study to be a Captain? There are only so many places for Captain post. What would happen to the thousand of children that have a captain degree but can only be a seaman? Our society is designed for disappointment.
