That's because this wasn't extreme for Japan.

It's called research, fool.

Ijime (the sadistic, psychological battering that Japan specializes in now), goes back all the way to the 1600s in their own records.
I said before there was loads of research on this topic because they're so severe with it, so insidious with it in the modern era, and it constantly evolves.
Westerners can't comprehend the level this mental fuckery goes to. The basics level is elementary school shit with flowers on the desk, suggesting that the classmate should kill themselves. It goes upward from there, including making victims practice the steps to committing suicide daily.
The violent stuff is literal child's-play.
And I should remind you, mental health programs in Japan are quite poor compared to most G8 nations, because it is shameful and can be seen as losing face, like KrayZ33 mentioned. Getting better, but it certainly isn't good.
