Xiaoli is a senior art student at a middle school in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Her mother's scolding doubled Xiaoli's pressure, and she often fell into self-blame and fear.

Xiaoli and her mother were counseled psychologically in the form of individual counseling. Parents should first formulate academic plans based on their children's actual learning ability and reduce expectations and goals, says Xinjiang 12355 consultation counselor Kui Jing. For adolescents with more serious psychological problems, the Xinjiang Healthy and Happy Growth and Adolescents Center has set up a hotline.
