So schools won't step in even with a suicide?
I guess they do what they can but it seems the kids ended up having to deal with it on their own. Its sad. I hope its not always like that.
thats devastating. in usa the police will do everything they can to expose situations like this if there is rape or suicide. all the information is leaked out to the public and the people are shamed.
it makes me sad that students put up with situations like this alone.
Korea is at the top country for having the most teen suicides per year. In Korea, students have to take entrance exam to get into their school and it starts at middle school (you have to take entrance exam to get to high school and to college). Because school aren't necessarily free for everyone, schools get money based on how well their image are. If students are being bullied at your school, your findings are cut short, not just the principal but every other faculty member, which is why teachers don't make an effort to stop bullying bc if headboard finds it in the school, fundings are cut. Not only that, some parents try to fight legal cases because their child are being bullied and pressure by school, and schools are making an effort to pay hush money to those parents.
In almost all of Asia, anything about mental health is still considered a taboo. So to talk about suicidal thoughts, or any illness, to get help for those kinds of stuff are still seen as crazy or a sin. It's really hard to find a hospital that caters to mental health, compared to American schools that have a psychiatrist
thank you for sharing this information. I had no idea what kids in other countries are struggling with. That made me incredibly sad to read. To have the most suicides in your country and still worry about money the most. =( Thats devastating.
So many messages and the biggest one for me was about how kids at school have to deal with bullies and not getting the support from adults whom suppose to protect them. I was reading some interesting notes from one of the translators who shared about how Korean kids in school have to deal with bullies on their own.
Kudos to the writer. Great plot with lots of twist and turns. Twin brother was bat shit crazy though!
