the heck is causing this? highly competitive society? bullying running free on japanese schools? lack of support by school personnel and overworked parents?

Climate change + no future prospects under capitalism + lack of support structure due to overworked parents + crushing poverty in many cases. Japan has a lot of homeless and near homeless children.
