    My son was only nine when he started telling me that he wanted to die because of all of the bullying at school. There was no internet influence yet. He was just small for his age. I took it VERY seriously! I took him for mental health treatment but he didn’t like medication. Alternatively, we spent many sleepless nights while I listened to his concerns and tried to give him coping methods. I’m not trying to say I’m a perfect parent. I struggled as he grew into a teenager. But, he lives and functions as a healthy adult.

    There was also a case of a Chinese livestreamer named Little Kitty who also took her life in a livestream, but the worst thing was that the viewers were bullying her and telling her to drink bleach she had on hand, which.. yeah, you can guess what she did. But the story doesn't end there - after she died someone stole her body in order to sell her, so a man could marry her ghost (look up "chinese ghost marriage").

    Behaviorist here. This is what happens when there are people in a child's life who they want to love and respect them that just have expectations of them (like overbearing parents, which from my understanding is more common in Japan than in America, at least) not to say that they aren't loved, but it's harder for some people to show it than others. Combine a child's formative environment being that with their lives at school and that's where there gets to be problems. Sometimes friend count is irrelevant, if there is someone/people that they want to like them that just bully them, all it takes is for the bullies to say "Go die" and sometimes the kids think everyone who both does and doesn't like them will love them if they can please their abusers.

But it's good you took action instead of just letting her continue to get into worse shit. And just to be clear I don't mean like "oh you should've been watching her BEFOREHAND", I'm not blaming you for trusting your kid wouldn't do something that stupid. I just wonder why the hell kids these days seem to do that stupid stuff more? Did they stop telling kids in school to be careful?

      ​​​@@FrenkTheJoyI don't think it's simply a case of kids do stupid stuff more now, I think it's a combination of more opportunity to connect to random people and more evidence of stupid things happening because it gets posted online. It's way more obvious to an adult why that kind of stuff is a bad idea and a kid's brain physically hasn't developed the full ability to calculate risks to the level an adult's has. You can tell a kid so many times not to talk to strangers online, but it only takes one time for them to think "well this situation is different they're my friend" or they think someone's threats are genuine. And there's simply now just more opportunities to be in contact with random people than there was before. I do feel for parents nowadays - how are you meant to monitor what your kid gets up to when they are connected to the internet 24/7? I grew up in the early 2000s before smartphones were a popular thing and even then my parents had no idea what I got up to online. I did plenty of stupid things because I was told not to share info with strangers, but in my head they weren't strangers they were my friends. I understand why now, I was a very lonely kid and these people online were the only ones who gave me any kind of positive attention.

    This is why my child - we live in Japan - has no social media presence. Literally. She is not even shown with her face on screen, in family photos, doesn’t have a cell phone, isn’t allowed on the internet. Her school has limited in school only access, but no cameras. Parents aren’t even allowed to take photos at school events except at school festivals and the students have to wear masks when doing so. At her after school program she goes to they are only allowed to post photos of students whose parents have signed release forms allowing students to have their photos posted. We haven’t allowed it. Maybe we are being too overprotective, however a couple of years ago some p**o was parking his car outside of the school across the street and taking photos of the children as the exited the school. At our station a different guy jumped out of some bushes with his…parts showing and grabbed at a middle schooler.
    This is such a disturbing story. I feel so sorry for this girl. I feel like her parents should have been more involved however….honestly a lot of parents are just so busy. Most parents here both have to work and depend on kids to take care of themselves. Mental health care here is honestly TRASH, and I say this as someone with issues myself. I wish I could get help and have been trying for YEARS. It’s to the point my doctor has recommended to my family that I go back to my own home country for care because Japan just is so far behind on mental health care. If you have ANY issues at all, Japan is not the country for you. At all. Don’t think coming here will help you in any, shape, or form. It is a strict, rigid, harsh society. Expectations are very high. The bar is set exceptionally high and any failure or weakness is frowned upon. The stress will pile on more and more and you will be expected to step up and just get over it, and there is no help offered to you.
    So…yeah, sorry to be bleak and a downer. Just being BRUTALLY honest. (Sorry, Kyle!)
    My heart goes out to the girl and her family. I’m so glad you covered this, though, and brought some coverage to a very honest and truthful problem of Japanese society. This happens literally every day to kids, teens, adults. I think it’s only recently S Korea surpassed Japan in number of unalives per year, but it’s honestly RIDICULOUS the amount of people per year in both countries. People don’t even bat an eye. In fact, people legitimately find it more obnoxious than anything else.

      You might like a UA-camr called Let'sAskShogo. He does a lot of videos about social problems in Japan and cares deeply about these types of issues. I hope there can be more acceptance and treatment for people suffering from mental health conditions in Japan - and really, worldwide - in the future. Although I'm from the US, where things aren't *as* bad, I definitely have experienced a certain level of these attitudes (intolerance of failure/weakness, pressure to be successful, "nobody cares about your problems, get over it" attitudes). Japan seems lovely otherwise, but I can't imagine being in a place that's much worse than anything I've dealt with re: mental health. My heart goes out to others who struggle with mental health, especially in tough cultures.

    Great video! I think the only misconceptions are that she was bullied and that she was neglected from by family. Most testimonies from her old viewers stated that Roro lived in a pretty average household. Her mom was a bit strict about grades but viewers said that her father would calm her mom down whenever she’d get upset. It’s also stated that Roro would have a lunch prepared for her when she’d get home from school leftover by her mom. About the bullying it’s not really proven that she ever got bullied it’s more of just a myth. Friends of her and classmates just stated that she was a quiet kid who kept to herself and was smart with computers and had a few friends. I’m pretty sure there was an online obituary for her made by those she knew but that got shut relatively quickly

Actually, now that I think about it, the only Album of theirs that I’ve listened to more than once came out in 2010, before she “became a Legend”...

    People only care about the bullied after they’re d**d… I honestly hate reading all the comments here… cause the vast majority of people act like they care so much when they watch a video of someone who exited stage left, but wouldn’t even bother to help someone they didn’t know get a quarter for a bus ride (let alone try to save someone’s life). Especially if it meant going out of their way without reward.
    If this was happing right now, still no one would do anything, cause no one does anything for the kids who are bullied today cause it’s not important to them until they want to look like a “good, kind, caring person.” We all just stand by and say sh** like, “Kids will be kids, just ignore them,” cause we don’t want a hassle, and then this stuff happens. People need to ACTIVELY ATTEMPT TO STOP BULLYING or it will never go away.
    Preemptively talking about it does nothing but give other bullies ideas on how to bully others more effectively. The bullies are taking notes on every thing they see in these videos and on the news. This makes them feel like they accomplished something big and they’re proud of it. They’re happy to see us upset about this in the comments.
    If anyone actually cared about kids being bullied, we wouldn’t have bullies- period. People everywhere would stand up and stop them before anything happened. But instead very, very, very few actually make the attempt to try, while most sit by silently. Pay more attention to your children, people; vigilance is the only way. People need to learn it’s not okay to do this, but it’s like no one is punishing them enough for it. This should be considered M*RD*R, not SU*C*DE, and the people responsible should be in prison for life.

An my Dad heard me messing around with it an came upstairs an stopped me. Then my mom an dad helped me find the right Psychitrist an Therapist an both of them plus family saved my life.
