So far I’m thinking of anime and real life, but if you find other similarities feel free to discuss them out here.
Suicide is seen as a reasonable means of escape.

Whoever ended up committing suicide lost the strength to carry on...
could suicides have something to do with isolating some people from the rest of society?

what makes it japanese as opposed to any other high school

Consider the OT subforum as a classroom. Some of us are students and whoever makes threads are the teachers.Momi and citremi wrote:

Like Japanese classrooms, the teachers move to this “classroom”; the homework can be related to posting a reply in this thread.
Some OPs get criticized, some get praised. We develop favorites, and we develop ones we don’t like.
Capisce?
Nope
In japan, it is customary for students to clean the classrooms. I'd drop my jaw if I saw fags cleaning their own shit on here.citremi wrote:

it doesn't make sense for only some of us to be students and some to be teachers. there are not designated thread creators that are forbidden from replying to a thread (being a student), and there is no rule saying that students cannot make a thread (be a teacher).
ultimately, everyone attending this public assembly is of an equal level, so there can be no student-teacher relationship. at the core, ot is just a place where people post shit and then other people reply, kind of like a graffiti wall. but, if we're being more formal about our definition, then it'd be a place where people can talk about their opinions and then other people can comment on it and there can be a discussion
kind of like, you know, a forum
I never once stopped to think about the actual meaning of this word. I always took it as this place on the internet where you post to other posts, not the concept of such itself. Yea I knew the definition, but the "place" and "concept" meanings of the word never crossed my mind until now.citremi wrote:

That's exactly what this is, a forum.
Another thing to relate this place to a stock exchange building. We all come here to buy and sell attention and entertainment, the currency being attention and the service being entertainment. Like a stock exchange, everyone is yelling at each other loudly, looking for potential buyers of our threads, wanting attention and replies in return. Or, some people come for entertainment when they're bored, willing to give up their attention and time for a good (or bad) thread or post. Sometimes trade is down (no activity) because there is no one producing anything that is worth people's time and attention, and sometimes it's booming. There are even bull markets and bear markets when it comes to people making threads and posts, and I know that every regular feels it when the market changes. We joke about the memeconomy a lot but I like to see it that way.
Now, a classroom is not a good relation, and—for the record—all the examples of a "Japanese classroom" that you've given can easily be descriptions of any other classroom—you are a straight weeaboo and need to stop.
