Anti-Bullying in Japan

http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/T110121004772.htm

This article deals with bullying and what educators and staff are doing about it. Many people think that suspending students who are bullying would take care of the problem and some disagree. However, some educators aren't suspending students or punishing them at all for their behavior which reinforces them to continue with the behavior. Japan has also gone as far as making a law to stop bullying.

 This article goes to show that bullying is everywhere and different schools are taking different steps to prevent it. Victims of bullying are committing suicide in Japan as well and something needs to be done to stop bullying so that there are no victims.
