请阅读下面某高三学生写给编辑的一封短信,然后根据要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Dear editor.

  I used to imagine the beautiful school life without any pressure, in the beautiful camps like heaven; we experienced lots of new things and enjoyed our youth.At that time I was really happy, even though what we did every day was just sinking ourselves in the boring books.

  But, I knew I was totally wrong after I came to senior three.We were overloaded with various assignments; we had to memorize a lot of difficult English words so as to achieve higher scores on the exams.In addition, for the sake of our future, we had to take the coursed not only in our own major but also in some related fields.We felt that once we slowed down, we might fall into a low position in class.Too much pressure has injured our mental and physical health as we suffer from nervousness, tiredness, sleeplessness and depression.Many of us have tried very hard at school but they failed in certain examinations and have disappointed their parents.Such students feel that they are less important than everyone else they meet and leave school before they have finished their study.I am just very upset with the present situation and I don’t know what I should do.

Yours sincerely
