I just shouted "FUCK OFF" at the TV in an otherwise empty room for the first time in ages. Some stupid fifth-grader Japanese kid committed suicide by jumping in front of the train this week. Two schools were closing, and he was going to have to go to a new school, and was afraid he wasn't going to fit in with the new class. So he killed himself.
The MC for the show said, "lately a lot of kids do nothing but play games, and to some degree, maybe this kid thought he could 'just press the reset button.'" At which point I lost reasonableness in my brain.
I have another idea, Japan: Why not just stop putting so much fucking pressure on your kids that they can't think straight, because they think their entire life is decided because of their goddamn schools?
