More than a quarter of primary school children in Hong Kong need professional help to deal with anxiety, a new study has shown. Baptist Oi Kwan Social Service released the results of their survey yesterday which showed 27.8 percent of children interview suffered anxiety significant enough for them to need medical advice.
The figure is slightly down from last year’s of 29.3 percent, so don’t worry. We’re kidding – worry. Unless you’re a really young kid, because that would just be crazy.
Most of the anxious children (22.7 percent), said they were worried about academic results, telling researchers they fret that they are not performing well enough in class, are fearful of going to school and suffer headaches and stomach aches in lessons. In turn, 21.4 percent are scared of scoldings or other types of punishments from their parents, the SCMP reports.
The study backs up figures from Hong Kong's Hospital Authority that show a 30 percent rise last year (to a casual 26,000) in the number of children and teenagers seeking mental health care.
The results are also likely to increase opposition to the System Assessment for Primary Three students, which teachers and educators have recently been campaigning against, saying it puts too much pressure on young children.
