It's definitely true that the kids are encouraged to join clubs, work together, etc. etc. much more than in America, where we're more individualistic about achievement. And yeah, kids are much more willing to cry in front of each other here, show emotions, things like that.

However, keep in mind that there are drawbacks to this, sometimes extreme ones. Because of the group culture, people are encouraged to not stray too far from the standards of the group. If someone is too different, they'll have a very hard time and feel a lot of pressure to fall in line, or at least keep their issues a secret. Being gay/bi, being bullied, being depressed, etc., these are all things that essentially get ignored a lot of the time. Or hell, just being different at all, if it's in a way that people don't know how to deal with. I'm not saying that's not also true in the States, but we do have more opportunities, I think, nowadays, for people who are different to go seeking other people who are different. Japan is still more rigid on this matter and kids are highly encouraged societally to just shut up and fit in.

Yeah, any extreme is ... not good. Young people should be encouraged to be themselves, but at the same time, I don't like how nobody seems to care about each other in American high schools (at least the ones I went to, subbed at, etc.)
