This boy needs a big hug and kiss from his mother. His mother should tell him, " Son, daijobu it's ok !!! The school system is bad anyways. " " Don't give up son !!! " This pass or fail mentality doesn't mean you will fail in life. " Don't give up !!!! The cram school teachers want you to fail so i can pay more money so the cram teachers can buy a nice leather interior car with bad gas mileage.

But, instead he emailed a bomb threat. It's a sad world when parents can talk to their children.

the japanese people must be under so much pressure! i think its totally unfair! I dropped out in yr 10, and im still able to get a decent job. Sometimes Japan can be a little to o.t.t.

This young tad should finish his school and handed over to military and perhaps he will turn up a good soldier. I can't see any future for him; he will grow up as a 'Monster' in the streets. Someone should keep eye on him.

The pressures that this society puts on people can be intense. Especially for kids who go throught their school years being told that if they cannot meet expectationst that the future for them will be bleak. Very sad.

There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who climb ladders, and those who make ladders for others to climb. Which one of these types do you think finds more fulfillment and joy in life?

There is this possibility.

Interesting posts here regarding the chance the boy needs some parental affection.
