A renewal of investigation into the tragic suicide of a junior high student (anonymously referred to as "middle 2" in Japan) has been triggered after the deceased child's smartphone revealed several "Die" messages. The case highlights the specter of cyberbullying among adolescents. Authorities are taking stringent actions to resolve this issue and promote mental health awareness in schools nationwide.

Suicide and mental health have been vital issues in Japan, particularly among its youth. This rising concern of cyberbullying emphasizes the significant social problem and the urgent need for a preventative approach. Most Japanese people appreciate the gravity of the situation and pressure is on the education system and government to curtail this disturbing trend.

Similar issues in the U.S. or EU usually provoke broad media coverage and push for reforms from concerned citizens. There have been numerous cases where laws regulating cyberbullying have been strengthened in response, and the implementation of programs promoting mental health and supportive environments in schools is often a focal point.
