It has been reported that in order to prevent students from jumping off the building, a school built iron bar fence all over the balcony in the teaching building. A girl requested her mother to buy her a set of iPhone, iPad and iPod when they seem to become a necessity among students, regardless of the heavy burden for a working class family. And when refused, this girl showed ill temper in the store and even screamed at her mother. All these news seem ridiculous yet exist truly. Are these adolescents really happy in their life?
