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.

In Japan, do they use the terms sophomore, junior, and senior when referring to high school students
In Japan, do they use the terms sophomore, junior, and senior when referring to high school students?
I heard that in Japan, upper secondary school, or high school, is only constituted of grades 10-12, so I was just wondering if those terms are used. Like, would a Japanese student in 12th grade be considered a senior? Sorry if this sounds dumb, but I know what applies in the U.S. doesn't always apply in other countries...

they probably use the terms, however it might not be the norm. they might just use the number instead.
2 :
Um, you know they don't use English there, right? Senior シニア Junior ジュニア Sophomore 2年生 (just means 2nd year of secondary) Freshman フレッシュマン This only applies to High school, not University
3 :
No, they don't have terms. And instead of 10th,11th, and 12th, they use 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. That applies to junior high, high school, and college. So..... you would say "so and so is a 1st grade high school student" hope it helped lol :)
