The issue of "Tsurushiage" bullying is reaching a severe level in Japan. "Tsurushiage," a style of bullying where the victim is suspended by their belt or clothing, has reportedly caused significant distress and even injuries among students. The recent instances of tsurushiage bullying have sparked concerns about school safety, prompting parents and educators alike to call for more robust anti-bullying measures. Urgent action is needed from both the education system and society as a whole.

Within Japan, bullying, particularly school bullying, is a significant societal concern. Whether it's physical, verbal, or through exclusion, these actions can have severe psychological impacts on children. The tsurushiage bullying incidents symbolize the pervasive nature of the issue. Japanese society is demanding stricter measures to prohibit and address bullying, together with a broader understanding of its severity.

Compared to the US or EU, where the cultural perspective surrounding bullying is different, Japan's response to this issue may often seem less aggressive. While anti-bullying laws exist in both regions, the perception and handling of school bullying differ. In Western countries, addressing bullying is seen as a community and societal responsibility, not only limited to the education system.
