Re: Japan is one of the leaders in the world in number of suicides.

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.

It's a good thing that we do not have such a ritual, and many of them now would not be sitting at this forum because of their mistakes Grin

I think it's stupid. Mistakes are made all. If you are alive you always have the opportunity to correct your mistakes, and that can make dead? I believe that suicide is a sign of weakness, an attempt is easy to avoid problems.
