or is bullying a rare thing? does some of the things in dramas like "Nobuta wo Produce" and "LIFE" really happen, frequently? or is this only for entertainment purpose of the movie or drama? I know it is just a movie, but this is what it's like in America, at least at my school. In Japan are some girls actually mean to where they knock people's lunch over, or trip them with their shoe, ostracized from the class, etc etc...?

Bullying is definitely a common problem in Japan. Ostracizing a girl from class is very plausible. Why bullying occurs is unknown. Why girls feel the need to bully another is what is unknown, but it is true that administration at schools don't do too much. If they were more aware of what was happening, I think people would try to stop it. Many times, it is the students who feel they can't talk to adults about the issues. Sometimes they think the bullying will persist further if they try to stop it. Such is the nature of bullying.

Sorry to say, it's very common.

To understand the nature of bullying, you have to understand that there is no clear border between "bullying" and "not bullying". Those cases you saw in dramas are clear bullying. But there are more lighter cases. And it's difficult to judge if it's really bullying. So it's difficult to tell you if it's really frequent or not. But it's known problem in Japan. >ostracized from the class, etc etc...? You said 3 examples. But out of those 3, this is clearly common.
