Sturmvogel Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 From what little I know of Japanese culture, I'm not surprised something like this has happened. There's an immense pressure on people to succeed....and for some I guess it was easier to take their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 From what little I know of Japanese culture, I'm not surprised something like this has happened. There's an immense pressure on people to succeed....and for some I guess it was easier to take their lives.There have been quite a number of debates, polls, documentaries and whatnot regarding this cultural "issue". All of this in japan alone. Koizumi (the prime minister) has tackled this before, but old habits are hard to break. The pressure to succeed in like is so deeply interwoven into their culture, that it's an disgrace to the family and the student if he/she doesn't get into a university.

Bluestinger X Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 thats kinda weird... did anyone ever watch Paranoia Agent? its an anime with a very weird story. Anyways one of the episodes completely goes away from he main plot and is about these 3 people who wana do what those people did. They met on a message board and such. Anyways sounds almost like it yet they failed to pull it off and ended up giving up on dieing. Anyways just thought it was kinda weird... specialy after watching that episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibathedog Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I dont think you truley realize why people do these things untill youve nearly experienced it yourself.

Skythe Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 If you commit suicide...you're an idiot. Plan and simple. The reasons for some of these suicides are funnier than the suicide it's self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
