I really feel sad when I hear about bullying. According to an article written by Rieko Saibara, who is a manga writer, One student in Iwate prefecture committed suicide because he was being bullied. It seems that he had been writing and telling about what was happening to his teachers, but the teachers did nothing to stop it. The one interesting thing is that he couldn't tell his parents about it. However, this seems to be a normal thing. One reason he couldn't share was because not going to school means falling out of society's net.
The fact is, you can continue living even if you don't go to school. School is not the answer to everything.
Having grown up without going to school, I feel that not going to school has many good points as well as challenges. Yet, here I am in University. I just hope that more people will be aware that one doesn't have to be ashamed of not going to school.
