Tired
by headshotzx, on FlickrThis frame was captured at 7.20pm midweek.
The young Marist stands tired, worn out; with a heavy school bag hanging off slouched shoulders, nodding off every few seconds.
This is the sad reality of students being pushed at such a young age to excel in studies and co-curricular activities. I guess, if anything, it's conditioning for the decades of stressful work life ahead of them.
Is this the environment we want our future generations to grow up in?

So this picture went viral among the local schools students' facebook accounts, and I can't say I don't know why. It's just something that's becoming all too common yet overlooked especially in our asian societies.
