It is very different from america.
Teen suicide rate is high because of the horrible exams that they have to take.
Lots of shrines and and oriental things.

One of my friends was born there.... she fits in fine. She says she is famous... but I bet she is lying lol. Yeah, Japanese people are really smart, but teenagers often kill themselves due to school pressure.
