I've always watch television news in Japan everyday and I saw a striking revelation about teenage suicide.

Do you know what the cause is? It's just a simple tease in classroom yet, it risks every life of children. According to the news, children can't cope with the stress of psychological pressure, causing to suffer emotional distress.

The basic problem stems from imbalance parental support, and as a result of broken family, since the children lack supervision and encouragement from parents, they have the tendency to keep their problems within themselves. Inability to cope with stress the children cannot handle the tease of classmate resulting to suicide in some school in Japan...

One of the disturbing incidents happened in Saitama, Japan where an 11 years old girl committed suicide after series of teasing of classmates. According to the victim's teachers, the girl could not bear more the agony that resulted from her classmates teasing...

She reportedly being harassed by classmate by hiding her pair of shoes, tearing off her school things, removing her chair and worst of all, being locked up inside a toilet. She was even forced to hand over amount of money by bullying classmate.

The incident was kept unknown to the victims parents, causing the girl extreme distress and emotional pain. Psychologists said it could prompt the girl to commit suicide.

Suicide cases among children are alarming now in Japan, prompting the government to call the attention of parents and teachers a like. They are now coming up with measures to curb the worsening suicide among children. Teasing in school is now considered a serious matter that must be ended soon or else, other cases of children might be in the offing....
