Alison Malmon was completing the end of her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania,US,when she got the news: Her older brother Brian,a student at Columbia University,was suffering from mental illness.

　　Influenced by this,Malmon formed a group at her university to enable students to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organization that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that today's young people face. "What you hear often is just a need to be perfect," said Malmon,"and a need to present oneself as perfect."

　　And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of today's society. In the study,two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US,Canada,and the UK. They found that what they called "socially-prescribed (社会定向型的) perfectionism" increased by a third between 1989 and 2016.

　　Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of today's young people try to present a perfect appearance online,social media isn't the only reason behind this trend. Instead,he said,it may be driven by competition in modern society,meaning young people can't avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That comes from new norms (准则) like greater numbers of college students,standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education.

　　For example,in 1976,half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008,more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children,they in turn pass their "achievement anxieties" onto their kids through "excessive (过多的) involvement in their child's routines,activities or emotions."

　　Those in the mental health community like Malmon say they're concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. "Mental health has truly become this generation's social justice issue," she said. "It's our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that it's not their fault."
