JAPANESE: 引き籠もり  /  ひきこもり  —  hikikimori    ‡‡

JAPANESE: 登校拒否  —  tōkōkyohi    ‡‡‡ 

JAPANESE: 不登校 —  futōkō   ‡‡‡‡ 

JAPANESE: 不就学 —  fushugakū   ‡‡‡‡‡ 

      ‡‡ )   Lit., “confined” or “drawn inward” — Japanese young people (usually male) usually (but not always) in their teens or twenties who confine themselves to their apts. or bedrooms, with the occasional trip to the ’loo, for more than six months...  They are sensei of speed-dialing for home-delivery-pizza & kings of Donkey-Kong, über nerds & secular Trappist monks, & their families are so shamed & freaked out by their neuroses that discussion of the topic is gnerally tabu... These kids usually start out as opting out of & refusing to attend school, & gradually become totally reclusive, with few if any friends. Japan’s Ministry of Health estimates that there are nearly 4,000,000 people suffering from this syndrome; psychiatrists link this syndrome to autism, Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality & social anxiety disorders & phobias.  

    ‡‡‡ )   Older term for 引き籠もり  /  ひきこもり  — “hikikimori” ...

  ‡‡‡‡ )   Lit., “School refusal” ... a syndrome whereby kids with autism, Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality & social anxiety disorders & phobias, opt out of attending school ...  Opting out of & refusing to attend school is the slippery slope leading to isolation & reclusive behaviourssuch as 引き籠もり  /  ひきこもり  — “hikikimori”  or 登校拒否  —  tōkōkyohi ...

‡‡‡‡‡ )   Lit., “School refusal” ... this term applies to children of foreigners (usually Brazilian) who are not sufficiently fluent in Japanese to be able to participate in classroom lessons or discussion; there are schools for these kids, but they are very very expensive, & if the foreign parents cannot afford tuition, then their children stay home, presumably to practice their samba & forró & bossa nova lessons. This has more to do with economics & cultural issues than with any psychological syndromes or problems the children may or may not have

In 1911 Diaz was kicked out on his arse during the Mexican Revolution; he slithered off to expile in Spain. After the Mexican revolution many industries were nationalized;
