It was completely avoidable

An article published online by BBC News(1) reported a very bad example (in Japan) about how to manage several cases of school bullying. It is due to fact that many schoolchildren wrote to the Education minister to inform him about the difficult and unconfortable situation which they had been being object. The Education minister gave them an irresponsible and thoughtless answer to their alarming call, he adviced them to not write again, to which, I wonder if there is something more important than a human being life. Well, it clearly seemed to be the case where the life of a humna being is not important enough to get the attention of a significant japanese authority. So, I guess, it had more worth a good goverment management appearance than the lives of many schoolchildren. I believe that bullying is a miserable act commited by guys who are not conscious of their acts, in fact, it is a reprehensible act. In spite of the I stated previously, the japanese Education minister reaction was not a reprehensible act, but an unbelievable and unforgivable act. We need authorities that work for the people´s well-being, not for their own, in especial case of school bullying. Do not you believe it?
