Questions 1~5   
      Some children do not like school. So what else is new? But in Japan that familiar aversion has  reached  alarming  proportions.  About        50,000  unhappy  youngsters  a  year       (out  of  a  total school-age population of 20 million) suffer what Japanese behavioral experts call school phobia. School phobia is distinguished from other common childhood and adolescent psychological and emotional    disorders  by  the  patient's  reaction  to,  and  fear    of,  the  idea  of  going  to  school. Typically,   it begins  with    fever,  sweating,  headaches,     and   diarrhoea;   it  often  progresses    to complete physical inertia, depression, and even autism.

      A doctor on a house call found a thirteen-year-old Tokyo boy who had not been to school in more than a year. He lives in a darkened room, receiving his food through a slot under the door and  lashing out  violently at  his parents if they  came too close. Once the boy was placed in  a psychiatric ward treatment, he again became an  open,  seemingly  healthy  youngster. When  he was sent home, however, his symptoms returned, and he was never able to go back to school.

      School phobia  can be cured, usually with tranquilizers and  psychotherapy. Rehabilitation takes about two years. Yet victims who are put  in clinics or  mental wards often prefer  to stay there.  Their  day  is  filled  with  activities  like  knitting,  painting,  music,  free  time,  and  sports. Nurses try to create a familiar environment in which the children can feel that they are taking a certain amount of responsibility for their lives and can find some sense of self-worth.

      The causes of school phobia are not precisely known. In a few severe cases brain disorders have been diagnosed. A more common factor may be the overprotective Japanese mother who, some psychiatrists say, leaves her children ill-prepared to face the real world. Many researchers point to the unrelenting pressures for success faced by both children and adults in Japan, where stress-related disorders of all sorts are common. In addition, the Japanese educational system is one   of  the   world's   most    rigid,  suppressing    a   child's  individual    creative   and   analytical development. Says Dr. Hitoshi Ishikawa, head of the department of psychosomatic medicine at Tokyo University, “The problem won t be cured until Japanese society as a whole is cured of its deep-rooted social ills.”
