In many people’s eyes, middle school students are happy and carefree(无忧无虑). But is it the truth? And what   students happy or unhappy?

To find out the answers, Li Jiahui, a student in Pinggu No. 3 Middle School, Beijing, spent six months  students’ sense(感受) of happiness last year. The  girl made a survey with questions such as “ Are you feeling happy?” and “What makes you unhappy?”

After studying the answers from 284 students, Li learned that   40 percent of the students feel unhappy, and the   from studies is the main reason for their unhappiness.

“More than 50 percent said they were under pressure and 70 percent   get enough sleep,” Li said. “It shows that middle school students are not as happy  people think. They worry a lot, and they can get angry easily.”

Li also said that over 90 percent say their happiness has  to do with how much money they have. Instead, they care about their relationships(关系)with friends, teachers and parents. “Students always feel better when they get   well with each other,” Li said.

After her survey, Li listed    tips that may make students happier, such as: Treat yourself better, be kind and polite to your friends and relatives, and try new things.

If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different from each other. You live together in the same house and the same parents, but you have different personalities.

Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parent treat you. First –born children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born than any other child. Parents usually give first-born more responsibilityand depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, first -born are often responsible, hard-working, and jealous. They often want to do well at school and work. There are more first-born American Presidents, for example, George Bush, George Washington, andLyndon Baines Johnson-than second or last-born children.

When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to competewith the first-born for the parents, attention and love. Their children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family’s attention. They are often friendly and cool. Many famous talk-show hosts were born last.
