From the Paper:

"The pressure to get good grades is sometimes caused by parents who want their students to go to a good college or get a scholarship. Sometimes parents needlessly turn their children into "super kids" who believe that they must do everything right. In order to meet their parents' expectations, students are liable to cheat on class assignments or take drugs to help them cope with the stress. Sometimes students become depressed or rebel from the pressure to get good grades."
