Video Game Leads to Suicide

Suicide is a problem in Japan…a BIG problem.

Even the youngsters, think teenagers will too readily take the leap…and in this case, literally.

A 15-year old boy got in a fight with his older brother over a video game.

Later that day, a woman saw someone jump from a 50-storey apartment building at about 9:10pm.

The police found the 15-year old boy lying on the ground having made an exit

from the 43rd floor. He jumped off the veranda attached to the apartment.

I know things about Japan and perhaps if I sat and thought about it long and hard enough I might come up with an opinion, but the truth is I don't know why these fine people are so relatively quick to give up on their lives.

Does anyone else have any insight?
