Parents and teachers want them to get good grades and be good at sports and other activities.
This makes students feel like they are always being compared to others and that they are not good enough.
Some students even feel so stressed that they think about hurting themselves.
People are saying that schools should have counselors to help students deal with their stress.
They also say that teachers and parents should be kinder and more understanding.
