Ayakoji Chiyoko brought up her own victim experience in her speech, not solely for the purpose of garnering sympathy.
Her self-respect had not fallen to the point of revealing her wounds just for this aim.
The reason she talked about school bullying and drew on her personal experience to attract the attention of the students was also just to raise awareness.
What awareness? Naturally, the awareness of the school bullying issue.
As she had said before, the problem of bullying is universally present in all schools, and some cases are so clandestine that outsiders are completely unable to detect them.
If it were only the more visible cases, within Uka, there would be no need for the victims to report them; the Discipline Committee members would actively intervene on their own.
They had informants in every grade and class within the school, keeping an eye on the students' every action.
