Yes, I agree that at her age, she should've known better and I am actually in favor that she needs some sort of mental health counseling at the very least.

But the fact that they talk negatively behind her back just enforce/encourage her... erm... "mindset"? And while it may be more out of courtesy to you as a warning, the teacher's warning you about the crazy one would probably just fuel her paronoia if she knew. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the fact that mental illness is a social stigma leads to a spiral that escalates insteads of pacifies outbreaks. I think it's very easy to have one small mistake, one small break that would go unnoticed in, say, America that would brand someone as "crazy" in Korea and once you are branded as "crazy", that's that, you're ostricized from the community... which only feeds the crazy thoughts. I guess I'm trying to say it's all a downward spiral from there.

At least that is how it seems to me in the Korean-fob community in the US. (Had a very nice Korean friend go through this. Thankfully she found non-Korean friends to help her though her troubled time though no one in the Korean community seems to keep in touch with her anymore.) Motherland Korea seems so much hardcore about it than the second gen US citizens.

No, it doesn't absolve her for her own negative actions or the fact she thinks she's always right, but I'd like to think the community isn't completely blameless as well. At the same time, I don't think they should've coddled her in anyway. I think having an anonymous hotline with no judgement and having a community that holds no stigma on mental illness might have changed your situation.

Haha, in a perfect world... /delusions

I am very glad you got out safe and unharmed from the confrontation though.
