Do kids in America do it? How ridiculous.

Uh no... I have no idea where you heard this. Bullying in Japanese schools is actually very uncommon altogether.

Hey, folks who posted above me, you must have lived in a pretty plush, cushy environment! Bullies are a fact of life in ANY country. There are some trashy kids/grownups regardless of which country who have no morals, don't know when to stop, and seriously would like to drive their classmates/co-workers/whoever to suicide. In EVERY place in EVERY country, there are people who, for absolutely no logical reason, only want to be aggressive and hurt others. We human beings are really pretty sad excuses for life, aren't we? I'm sure that Japan is not immune to this phenomenon. Japanese are, just like everyone else, humans -- a flawed species. Just because Japan has an interesting culture, anime, Nintendo, etc. doesn't mean they're perfect, either. I'm sure that at some Japanese school at some point in time, people like the OP mentioned have existed.
