Summary :

Princess Aiko, the only child of Crown Prince Naruhito and Crown Princess Masako, has been reluctant to attend school after ijime(treated harshly) by boys such as throwing bags, running fast down hallways and shouting around. Nomura, grand master of the crown prince’s household, said that's not a amain reason ,because she was sick recently so she couldn't attend the school. But he asked school thatschool have to adress the problem and publicize the princess’s situation.

Reaction :

I know that Japan has a ijime culture. I could see the ijime scene in the Japan's Drama and comic books even in the advertisement. Especilly in the high school,their Ijime culture get worse. I think every country has a "Treated harshly" culture and most teenager could through that culture but not in the elementry school. Most foreigner think every Japanese is kind ,nice and quiet but they have a different type's culture. so don't be panic how to they ijime their classmates !
