In June 2018, a second-year male student (16 years old) who belonged to the baseball club of a prefectural high school in Kurume City, Fukuoka, committed suicide by leaving a note indicating bullying damage in June 2018. It was revealed in an interview with a person concerned that three boys (already graduated) who were members of the club had been sent documents to the Fukuoka District Prosecution Kurume Branch for alleged violations of the Violence Penal Code. The branch sent three people under house delinquency for violating the law, and the Fukuoka family court Kurume branch decided to start the trial by the 11th.

Two years have passed since the student's death. Truth investigation moves to the judiciary. A boy student was found committing suicide on the evening of June 22, 2018. On the student's mobile phones, the names of the staff members were recorded and notes such as "I've been told every day that I've done my limit" and "I was in pain just because I was alive."
