Bullying case kills oneself

In Japan there are more tragedies of suicide related to bullying case that is even causing chain reaction from one suicide to another.Another new big surprise of recent case is that Education ministry received several letters from students predicting that they 'll kill themselves soon.

I also experienced being bullied in my school days.However,the action I took at that time was totally different from students in such cases.I directly wrote a letter to the head teacher of my school that some students including me are worried by one helpless classmate and my teacher didn't do anything for us,which contributed in eliminating that bullying by putting that guy under strict control.I hope people suffering from bullying should become more open minded to take positive action like me instead of killing oneself.

SKip mandatory subject problem

In Japan there is one problem about high-school education recently that some school allow students to skip some mandatory subject for graduation that is not necessary for entrance exam.At first it was found only in one school,but it was disclosed that many schools all over Japan had same problem.Now schools are required their urgent corrective action.In this case,the most miserable victims are students themselves who are forced to learn in haste though next year's entrance exam will be held near the beginning of next year.My Alma mater must have had the same problem because we didn't have the subject such like engineering which in longer perspective caused disadvantage after I started working as an engineer.
