Pl-urk is a combination of two words, Play and Work. Learning should be fun and school shouldn't be all serious and heavy.
Most often this essence is used by teenagers who feel pressurized by the school system. They suddenly realize they have exams to do and that they have to do well as their results in these exams will shape their future.
The anxiety behind excessive studying is a fear of what is going to happen them if they don't do well. As a society we have placed far too much emphasis on academic achievement to the detriment of health and happiness.
Many of todays children don't learn in the way that we did – they are conceptual rather than linear thinkers and find it hard to thrive in an old fashioned school system. If your child is having learning problems do look around to see if there is another method of education that would suit them better.
A lot of children put immense pressure on themselves to do well, and start studying excessively. They stop going out with their friends, they stop exercising and going out in the fresh air and become very unbalanced and unhealthy.
Plurk is about bringing a healthy balance of play and work back into your life and is very useful for adults who feel they are bogged down in work.
