What do you make of school bullying


What do you make of school bullying?
In Japan, school bullying is said to be one of the serious social problems, and also many youngsters have committed suicide in the past because of it. But even teachers have no ideas about how to cope with the problem. The number of casualties for the school bullying has been increased every year. So what do you think is the best bet for the solution?

Sure it's a problem, but I don't think it'd be easily fixed in Japan. They are an AMAZING country and honor is still a very big thing there. That's mostly a very good thing, but it can also very dangerous. I don't think that most of them are committing suicide because they can't cope, but because they see it as dishonorable on their family BECAUSE they can't cope. Actually suicide is also common in Japan for students that can't get into the college they want, or those that have to drop out. It's all about honor. The only way that I can see this easily being taken care of is to slowly let the importance of that type of honor fade away... but that causes other problems. It's like being in between a rock and a hard place really. Keep in mind that this is just my opinion based on their society today, and the past of their society. I can't prove that the students hate the bullying due to inflictions on their honor, but I believe that is a big part of it. I would still rather be in the Japanese school system however, because I love the hard working, pretty much amazing in every way mindset out there. If the bullying weren't a problem it would be perfect in my opinion.
