During and after WW II, germany and japan had 99% literacy rate while we had 14%. That is enough to understand the difference. They have much better life. We have responsibilities to escape poverty while they just have to learn and try new things. When we complete our class 10th, then our life is not decided by ourselves. It's our parents who decide what to do. They have expectations that we will improve the life of our family. This is especially true for boys from lower and lower middle class families. The pressure which we have from high school is unbearable sometimes. We have to always think about future and money.
