Hi Clouds

I suspect he had problems fitting in from the time he came here and never learned any social skills. He was probably considered an oddball from the beginning, especially if he lived outside of a South Korean neighborhood. He probably didn't learn how to interact with other people, and he didn't learn how to release anger/frustration constructively.

I won't blame the parents on this though. Is it true they've been hospitalized due to shock over this? Parents are responsible for their children, but it's not fair to blame them - there's no "one size fits all" manual for raising sound children.

Not to change the subject, but I worry about the trend of home-schooling and how these home-schooled kids will fit into college life without parental supervision. I know many seem to do well, but there's not much emphasis on social skills or learning how to deal with peer pressure or other stressors in life.
