Suicide is not only crime & ethically wrong step but no one is willingly going to end their unless their is a abslute compelling force. we need get both these parties correct to overcome suicidal mentality, not only in Japan but in other nations too. About 90% of people who commit suicide have a mental illness at the time of their death. Depression is the top risk factor, but there are various other mental health disorders that can contribute to suicide, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
i would like to add four more highly contributing factors that adds to it world wide :
Breakups.
Career efrocement on students by their own familes.
Being diagnosed with a serious medical diseases, such as cancer or HIV.
Substance abuse.
