Dear life Japan: bullying in school

PLEASE READ

I will go into this subject in further detail in another video preferably in the daytime.

I also forgot to mention that the teacher who witnessed the bullying with me bragged about my courage to the other staff. I was horrified. Because JETs are NEVER supposed to discipline any student no matter what and the fact that she didnt say anything to them made me so upset since i put my job on the line to stand up for what I knew was right.

I was poor girl who was short, had locks, and Santeria. So my life was full of people trying to but me in a box somewhere to abuse whenever they felt like. I got away from being picked on once i started to let my light shine. When you are confident people notice. When they realize that no matter what they do you will always be in high spirits they will stop.

you my friend, are a piece of fucking shit

I really like your insight on things here.. i am also a JET( I'm also black) and I know culture is unique and should be , but there are two many things here that don't make sense..and things that will never be addressed because of the culture... Japan is developed economically but it has a far way to go to go when it comes to other areas. Wrong is wrong..it has nothing to do with culture, it is identifiable by every single human being.. ganbatte....

@lunamiz101 It's called a culture shock. Don't let the shock differ you from teaching there. Japan is still an amazing place, but where there are people, good and bad things will happen.

hi, i hope ya read this. I'm currently learning japanese and by "fate" i clicked this and learned about the JET program after watching this. I have been thinking about it and I think I want to do it. I have family in japan but I've never been there. So as a person of interest is it enjoyable.

ありがとうございます。

omg, you make japan sound soo... different. It does sound very different. I'm thinking about teaching english at Japan, but that's going to be in 7 years from now. I'm not sure If I still want to go to japan, though there are some pros and cons. But bullying is wrong, violence is wrong. That's just wrong how those Japanese people handle the problem the way you say it. That's just unbelievable, I don't even understand why that teacher and those students would do that. Like wth??
