This is mine.
In America, bullying is more physical than psychological. It makes sense because America is a more direct verbal society. Thinking about Aimai, it makes sense that Japanese bullying is psychological because Aimai is the biggest cause of bullying. I was thinking of the differences between cyber bullying in US and Japan. Japanese cyber bullying is insidious, meaning you don't know who did it to the victim so the victim is constantly worrying and scared, which is really bad because outside impression is the most important in Japanese society. Does American cyberbullying target a specif person? Does talking bad about the victims behind their back make people want to commit suicide? Do other types of bullying contribute to suicide or depression? What is the real problem or reason that makes cyber bullying worse in America?
