Quote by: natalieP  I agree with #2. It's reported that his English teachers found his writing disturbing, one even refer him to the school counselor but never knew what was the result.
I suppose she just did not care. To her, to everybody, he's probably just one weird, pathetic student who always sat at the back of the class.
I'm not blaming the teachers or people around him for not paying attention to him. I just sympathize with him. Abuse and humiliation can really mess up a sane person's mind. If you have not been exposed to that experience, you would never understand.
Of course abuse and bad experience do not justify homicide, nobody has that right. I do think that it is not only because of the environment he's been exposed to but also some attributes in him. Nevertheless, the media should stop analyzing his mastermind but the kind of treatment he received.
More than anything, I hope discrimination would not rise against foreign students. It would only lead to other sorry stories like this. |
First, it was 2 teachers. One went above and beyond this. She actually threaten to resign out of fear of him. The second teacher also stated he was disturbed and recommended that he seek help and the University forces him to seek help. Yet because of the red tape the university couldn't force him to seek assistance (although they could have kicked his butt out of school).
Second, vast majoriity of children have been picked on it there life and the majority don't take such extremes. Kids tease that is what they do. Some might have been treated worst, than others. Nevertheless, it takes only a pure evil monster to do was this nutjob did. Cho deserves no sympathy, compansion and especially no attempt at all for rationalizing his acts. Anyone who gives him sympaty, compansion or attempts to rationalize his action are nutjobs themselves.
