Why is Japan's suicide rate is so high?

Question:


and why do japanese people glorify suicide ?

Answer:


It can be much connected to its culture but should not be related to religion.
harakiri and suicide nowadays are totally different.

Why do the Japanese have more stress?
They're receiving a lot of pressure constantly from the society you're involved in (family, school, work)
- raised to control/suppress your feelings
- the society focuses on "precision" "punctuality"
- the society requires 'group-minded' thinking
- there're a lot of competitions, (e.g. entering university)
- you live in lots of ties of (unnecessary) obligation

*2 male high-school mates had passed away at their younger age... (one was uncertain/unnatural, the other one committed suicide because of stress at work)
