Ijime

I often see the words "Ijime" on the TV or newspaper. The most impressive news related to "Ijime" for me was that school boy killed himself to get away from "Ijime". He was burried by his classmates and his teacher!!!! I could not believe this when I heard the news and now I can not either. Another news said that a young teacher comitted a suicide because of "Ijime" by a teacher works at same school. I think people do "Ijime" because of their weakness. They are afraid of difference which others have and try to assimilate to or exclude that. We must be strong mentally to live with others well I felt.
