An article from The Economist (Dec-17, 2011 issue) on South Korea's high pressure education system. It is killing their children. To quote from the article:
"In one survey a fifth of Korean middle and high school students said they felt tempted to commit suicide. In 2009 a tragic 202 actually did so. The suicide rate among young Koreans is high: 15 per 100,000 15-24-year-olds, compared with ten Americans, seven Chinese and five Britons. "

I wonder what would be the suicide rate among our youngsters in Hong Kong.
