Some children felt suffocated by expectations from "summary" of The First Generation by Hannah Ritchie
The weight of expectations bore down heavily on some of the children in our community. It was as if the air around them grew thick, making it hard to breathe freely. They felt trapped, suffocated by the pressure to perform and excel in every aspect of their lives. From a young age, these children were groomed to meet the high standards set by their parents and society. Academic success, extracurricular achievements, and social status all played a role in shaping their identities. Failure was not an option, as it would mean letting down not only themselves but also those who had invested so much in their future. The constant need to meet these expectations left little room for individuality or self-expression. Every decision they made was scrutinized, every mistake magnified. The fear of falling short haunted them, driving them to push themselves beyond their limits. Despite their best efforts, some of these children found themselves struggling to keep up with the demands placed upon them. The pressure became overwhelming, suffocating their spirits and dimming their sense of self-worth. They longed for a break, a chance to breathe freely without the weight of expectations bearing down on them. In a world where success was measured by external achievements, these children grappled with their own sense of identity and worth. They yearned for acceptance and understanding, for the opportunity to be seen and valued for who they were, rather than what they could achieve. The suffocating grip of expectations left them feeling lost and adrift, searching for a way to break free and find their own path in life.
