Three years ago, a first-year female student at a municipal junior high school in Sapporo committed suicide. Last year, the Sapporo City Board of Education released an investigation report stating that her death was due to bullying.
The specific details of the bullying were blacked out, and family members and others complained that it was difficult to accurately grasp the actual situation. The city's Board of education has compiled a new report that corrects the blacked-out parts of the investigation report.
