Good Morning Good Morning, Judges,teachers and our beloved Friends.

Today we represent to you, STUDENTS WOE

We were born like pieces of clay in the hands of sculptors Today we are adolescents, grown up human being But still NOBODY understands us Our parents, our teachers and so on and SO ON!

At home and in school we are conditioned to learn and study It started before our formal schooling days Right from the kindergartens And surely it will go on until Doomsday

The Push to be superbly successful, irrespective of the cost, Seems to be the motto of the day, What is happening in our children's world? Which are imposed upon them by their parents

One of the greatest worries among our adolescents Is failing to live up to parental expectations Parental dissatisfaction and dissapointment with their children's results Is by no uncommon

Some of us are competend Some are not Some will get straight As Some will get straight Es Some will be happy Some Will be sad

Is this what you call 'life'?

Just look at those who failed Some had even taken their own lives Who is to be blamed? Who is to be blamed? Students or Parents? It's a pity that nobody cares

Who is giving us pressure and stress? And do they know the consequences that stress brings? We're sick, fed-up and really bored All work and no play, thats not going to change

Cheating and lying to attain one's goal Is common practise among the young these days No more morality and no more dignity What they want is recognition from society

Teenagers turning to drugs for excitement Solace and escapism The ills which come along with the benefits of progress Who is to be blamed? Who is to be blamed?

Many adults are ignorant Of the many challenges

Confronting today's children The fight to be kingpins in the academic arena has its casualties

Countless youngsters may not run away from parents Psychologically, they are divorced from their parents The loving and caring is not on the child But on his achievement

Many parents today are mere physical provoders Not care providers Most don't understand our problems They just want names for themselves

Many of our parents only think of intellectual potential Mentally, emotionally and morally they forget We are being focused to intellectual pursuits and achievements And nothing else is more important than that

From year one our bags are full of books Which are too heavy for our little bodies But who cares? Nobody dares to make any fuss

In school the same thing happens again We are expected to do well in exams To make the percentage go up, to give our school a good name Is this what you call EDUCATION?

What we want is True Education Not just merely knowledge Oh Parents... Oh Teachers... Don't just spoon-feed us with knowledge

So... Parents and Teachers Give us a break Understand us... Educate us... Not just merely teach us

After school comes tuition And after tuition comes revision Mondays to Sundays and School Holidays And so they say until Doomsday

Let us tell you what is Doomsday Monthly Test, Mid-year Exams, End of year Exams UPSR, PMR, SPM, STPM and so on and so on Are getting As the most important thing in life?

Some of us have goals So do not They are unsure of the direction they would like to pursue Are these the fruits of Education?

Or maybe we have forgotten something

Our Education Philosophy To create a balanced person in all aspects Not just excell in studies

So parents and teachers Understand us, think of us Let us be our normal selves Let us lead our normal lives

We repeat Parents and Teachers Understand us, think of us Let us be our normal selves And let us lead our normal lives

We have the desire to succeed To become usefull and worthwhile persons To be respected and to contribute to society And make our own lives happy
