Essay by dead girl to be disclosed to counter bullying

SAITAMA — An essay by a 14-year-old girl who committed suicide due to bullying at school in Warabi, Saitama Prefecture, is set for public disclosure, the city's education board said Saturday. The essay will be released as an official education board document, as her parents want her outcry against bullying to reach many people, board officials said.

The girl jumped to her death from her family's condominium in June 2004. She left a note citing the cause of her suicide as bullying at school. Her essay was submitted to her school the day before her suicide. In it she wrote: "It must be sad and painful for everybody to be rejected," "Is there anybody in the world who needs me?" and "Bullying has sent me to rock bottom."

*Sarcasm here ...

This could almost be the premise of a manga which would be then translated into a blockbuster J-Horror movie .

Emo-loli returns from the dead to serial murder her school bullies , however she then becomes deified to then take revenge on all school bullies .

The story thus ends with the whole of Japan being wiped out in mass suicide .

Be it Ero-games , doujinshi , or clothes ; its all the SAME !

Sounds like a crossover between Whispering Corridors and Suicide Circle.

I've seen too many Asian horror films.... 8)

Speaking of which ; beside Anime + Manga related material , Japan seems to be exporting alot of live action horror movies since The Ring .

WTF gives ?

They make money. Because, hell, have you watched Japanese live-action films that aren't horror?
