End of Summer Vacation

The summer vacation is almost over in Japan. Suicide rates among children gets higher during this period because of their unwillingness to go to school. Many NPOs and public facilities are cooperating to stop children’s from committing suicides. They made places for children who don’t want to go to school. They welcome students in this place in order not to make them feel guilty by not going to school. Children who don’t go to school may put too much pressure on themselves from the feeling of escaping. By making environments for children instead of school, the children can feel secured. With this, they won’t think about killing themselves anymore. I hope that there will be no more suicidal incident among children this year. Lastly, I also hope that at the beginning of this school term, no lives will taken away both child and adult just because of education.
