Many students may feel (stress) because of their parents. Most parents have goodintentions, some of them aren't very helpful with the problems their sonsand daughters have in (adjust)to college, and a few of them seem to go outof their way to add to their children's (difficulty)．
Forone thing, parents are often not aware of the kinds of problems their childrenface. They don't realize that the (compete) is stronger, that the requiredstandards of work are (high), and that their children may not be preparedfor change. They may be upset by their children's poor grades. At theirkindest, they may (gentle) ask why John or Mary isn't doing better, whetherhe or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on. At their worst,they may threaten (take) their children out of college or cut off livingexpenses.
Sometimes parents think it right and natural that they determine their children dowith their lives. They forget that everyone is different and that each personmust develop in his or her own way.
