Japan: Where Have All The 'Punk Teens' Gone? (youtube.com)

Will the value of bullying become known?

Battles on the news, police versus students. Gangsters everywhere. Student protests.

A lot of spirit, exciting. People liked that time. Do people like this time? the docile, watched generation? The society with a government that has surveillance, records, evidence.

Gap between rich and poor, the youth rebelled. Pay gap between university educated and not.

Schools became stricter with rules and with enforcing them.

Now, everything goes online. Socializing, finding other people from not great homes. Getting attention. Venting aggression.

Schoolage crime is down. But school absenteeism and suicide are up.

People are hiding their feelings inside, and repressing their desires.

Bullying, you used to be able to avoid it with physical proximity/distance, but with the internet (Line groups) youth have to be involved with their bullies online.

The people in the video say they don't know which is actually better, but would rather be in the past time with rebellious youth, like their parents were, because it looks way more exciting and fun, and is more like what teenagers really like. Teenagers are supposed to be rebellious, more or less.
