Only children are happier than those with brothers or sisters， according to a new research which shows sibling rivalry (竞争) can have a serious effect on a child’s emotion.
Over half of the children surveyed said they had been bullied（欺负）by a sibling， and one in three said they had been hit，kicked or pushed by a sibling， others complained of name-calling and having their belongings stolen.
Other reasons for only children being much happier include not having to compete（竞争）for parents’ attention or share bedrooms with a sibling， said Gundi Knies， a researcher on the project.
Dr. Ruth Koppard， a child psychologist， said， “In an average home， the more children， the less privacy for each child. Some love sharing a bedroom with a sibling but they would rather choose to do it than have to do it”.
Homes with just one child make up nearly half of all families in Britain.
The study， to be published on Friday， questioned 2，500 young people. It also found that seven out of 10 teenagers are “very satisfied” with their lives.

Some students, parents and teachers in Shanghai were surveyed(调查) last month. According to the result of the survey, the generation gap (代沟) between students and parents as well as teachers is becoming wider. Here is what they said.
Voice of the students:
“Our parents hold too high expectations which put us under lots of pressure（压力）. They care too much about our lives and studies,” one student said.
“It’s impolite that some students’ parents read their children’s diaries without permission!” one student said angrily.
“Some of our teachers are so serious that we can’t make friends with them at all,” another student said sadly.
Voice of the parents:
One mother said, “After school, my daughter usually locks herself into her room and spends lots of time talking with others on the phone. And I can’t stand her clothes and hairstyle!”
“I thought my son was doing very well in his studies. I didn’t realize I was being cheated by him until I got a call from his teacher,” said a father.
Voice of the teachers:
An English teacher said, “Today, the role of the teacher is to put knowledge into students’ brain. The power (权力) teachers have kept students away from them.”
“Some parents pay too much attention to their children’s grades. They never create a lively and colorful environment at home,” another teacher said.
“In the past, teachers and students often played games together or talked with each other. Today, only studies and grades are talked about,” said a teacher.
Voice of scientists:
Scientists say that a school should be a place where students can learn not only knowledge, but also how to face failure bravely enough.
