7.9 Suicides in Japan

The number of people who committed suicide in Japan is top of the world. Despite of the lank, the number is decreasing from last year. It owed to the government anti-suicide campaign of last year. By this campaign, it could fall 15.9% in April and 13.5% in October. The government ready to make emergency strategy team at the Cabinet office in autumn 2009. They will support that people can get advice about mental health and debt problems, and compiling region-by region suicide prevention steps based on relevant police statistics. I think worker in Japan have many stress about office circumstance. They are bound to hard work and long time. Especially man's task on the work is sometimes burden than that of women's. So, we have to reduce the stress by something another activity or telling to someone. So we need best friend or best partner close by you.
