| NOTA |
(*)(trans. by John Brennan) (★)(´NI-0335´ es mismo libro. ´So Can You´ is the English version of a poignant Japanese bestseller. People of all ages, especially the younger generation, are encouraged to read the author´s story, wipe away the tears, and confront their difficulties. Today, in many countries --not least the U.S.-- bullying in schools has become a serious problem, and this inspiring book is a message from someone who experienced ´ijime (lit. bullying, teasing)´ firsthand, and the resulting suicidal despair, and managed to create a life for herself as a lawyer. ◆Mitsuyo Ohira was born in 1965. While still in junior high school, she tried to take her own life after enduring cruelty and humiliation at the hands of her classmates. She survived, but her life rapidly deteriorated into delinquency and chaos. After years of dissipation that included a failed marriage to a gangster, Ms. Ohira turned her life around with the help of a family friend. Now, as a lawyer in private practice, she works to give troubled young people a fresh start in life.) |
