Depressed, young people and the Internet - it's a very dangerous mix.
Unfortunately, the more younger people there are using the Web, the more suicides we're going to see. The Internet has brought a lot of convenience to Japan, but it has brought with it a lot of ills.
When Japan was poor, families did more things together out of necessity, like sharing a bath or eating together, and the community was much more important, especially in rural communities.
