Japan is one of the leaders in the world by quantity of suicides among adults and among children. I don't understand why. I've never been in this country, but I think that it is a very beautiful and technologically developed country. I think it interesting to live. Does anyone know why this happens?
I've heard of killing myself in Japan. People say that if anyone makes a big mistake, doing a very shameful thing, they choose to end their lives by thrusting a knife into their stomachs. Some say that in order to protect friends, and the crowds, if by suicide can protect many people, they are better suicide. I do not know if anyone is still doing that in this day and age. I'm not too sure.

Duuuuuuuuuude xD
What you're talking about is sepuku, it's a very old "traditional" ritual of suicide indeed but...
That's like asking if burning people alive is still a thing in Europe ^^

That WAS used but it's not anymore.
