TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese boy burned down his home, killing his stepmother and two younger siblings, for fear his parents would find out he had lied about his score on an English test.

The 16-year-old, whose name has not been released, is thought to have set fire to the house in Nara, western Japan, and left his stepmother to die along with his 7-year-old brother and 5-year-old sister, domestic media reports said on Saturday.

The boy's parents had been due to attend a meeting with teachers about his exam results that same day, reports said. The teen-ager told police his father, a doctor, had put him under extreme pressure over his academic performance, Kyodo news agency said.

[quote name='vietgurl']Isn't there a high rate of suicide in Japan because of all the pressure that they get regarding school and grades?[/QUOTE] The suicide rate of students are higher in the US then any asian country. Makes you kind of go hmmm. Or that's what I did when my psychology teacher talked about that stuff.
 
But the school is the place that you got the bad grade kid not home. So burn the school not the house.

or according to babelfish.

しかし学校は悪い等級の子供を家に得たこと場所である。そう学校をない家燃やしなさい。
