Sad news....Things like that are always happening in Japan. Last time I was in Japan, I had already heared about four crimes/suicides by high-school students. Very sad to hear, and that also encourages other people in depression to do the same.. nSmash, was he a member at your club or something?
I was bullied everyday by a Chinese boy when I was in primary school, but luckily, he forced me into playing badminton, which ended up to be a good thing.

You'll be alive, two of my friends went on an exchange trip to Japan due to my high reccomendations.. they loved being in Japan so much that they're willing to go again..This really sucks. I didn't know that Japan had such a huge bullying problem... it never really seemed like that type of society to me. But it makes sense though. Many Japanese are timid, and they tend to endure this type of behaviour. I hope it's not too bad all over the country though. I'm also going to be taking a foreign exchange to Japan some time in the future... I hope I return alive
.
Because he used to force his 'deciples/victims' to do what ever he wants them to do. The thing is, we were only seven years old back then. Well, he wanted us to play because he thought it's a great sport.. Im still keeping contact with him, we're both very friendly to eachother now, because we both play badmintonCOOLEST said:How and why did he force you to play baddy?
badminton solves most of my problems.
Haha. I find the club that I played in Japan, superior to the ones in NewZealand..Awesome, man! I love visiting JP too. Played badminton in Tokyo a few times. Never attended school there though I've heard stories.

I think your caption is grossly misleading.
It is a sad day for Japanese students being bullied by seniors, not a sad day for badminton, although I read only the English version that the boy who was bullied requested not to attend badminton training.
Anyway, one club that I visited in JP charged 500yen per session, for play only, no drills or snacks but Yonex feather shuttles provided!! I earned some valuable experience in JP. There are a lot of players who seem to have been taught the basics correctly since elementary or high school so they remain technically sound into their 40s and later. They have excellent control, solid defence and a wide repertoire of shots and can make the games more "colourful".
I've also been to a club where there is a culture of the younger team coming up to the older team to politely ask for tips for improvement after each game. After my friend and I finished a close doubles game with a highly skilled high school girls' doubles pair (among the best in Tokyo high schools, I heard), they came up to us with questioning eyes and I wondered what was going on until my friend enlightened me.![]()
Did you get their number ?![]()
Bah I'm too timid :crying::crying::crying::crying:Dude~~ are you into high school girls? I'll see what I can do next time...
Check your local laws though... hahaha just kidding.
