As a side note: I haven’t posted for a long time now, and I’m not as active in managing things as before; perhaps having been a moderator for so long, I know what I need to do each month, leaving less time for other management tasks. I hope I can become more active and help improve our community. The home version of the debate competition is updated every Wednesday; we hope everyone will participate actively. If there are good debate topics, actively post and discuss them. Refusing to go to school for watering tasks. I’ve met a few high school students recently; I wonder if this is a common phenomenon these days. 1. The youngest son of Aunt F is about to take the college entrance exams soon. He took a break from school before the New Year and says he doesn’t like going to school – he finds it pointless. He spends his days at home playing video games. Aunt F is very worried; the child’s situation isn’t good either. 2. Aunt B’s child, perhaps due to fears before the college entrance exams or something similar, stopped attending school suddenly 3 months before last year’s exams. He spent 3 months at home; his mother forced him to take the exams, and he was admitted to a first-tier university. But after the exams, he stopped going to school and stayed at home, acting like a homebody, while also refusing to speak with psychologists. Both aunts were extremely worried, not knowing what treatment to give to these two children.
Is this even considered debate? There are no two opposing sides at all! I think Aunt F’s son has a crush on Aunt B’s son/daughter (you didn’t specify the gender), and neither of them wants to take the exam. I was admitted, but it’s still hard to find a job after graduation – that’s the situation these days. Psychological reasons account for the majority; physical reasons are simply laziness. . .
Personally, I think it’s mainly a psychological issue – studying is too difficult, parents have high expectations, which creates a lot of stress; so people turn to the virtual world in search of relief...
I suddenly remembered the post, and I also wanted to take care of the debate competition. What if something is wrong with the body? Kids these days are too picky; if they don’t want to go to school, they just won’t.
I also don’t know how to persuade those two aunts. I’m extremely worried.
I think a vote can be held to determine what percentage should be attributed to physical and psychological reasons.

It’s better to discuss things like moderator settings instead. . .
I think it’s psychological. . . One might feel too stressed and want to play games to relieve the stress, only to end up becoming addicted. . . Just like me, before graduating from undergraduate studies I was planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam, but after some preparation I decided not to do it and instead look for a job. . . Once you reach a certain level, you really don’t want to keep learning anymore. . . As for how to treat it, I’m not sure; I would recommend seeing a psychologist. But at that stage, he will surely think that going to see a psychologist means having a mental illness, in other words, being psychotic, and he will definitely resist it. . .
bg1.png is because of the resistance to psychotherapy, which sometimes makes things feel very sad. You can’t stay on suspension forever.
Ultimately, it is a problem with China’s education system. . It doesn’t matter whether they go to school or not; what’s important is to help the child develop a sound personality. .
