Jeebus. I've known kids who were pushed but none like that. It doesn't take a psychologist to see that the pressure she was under from her parents cracked her. Maybe it's because of my own intellect and the trouble I (still) have with social stuff and life coping skills, but I feel terrible for this girl. That she didn't go on a shooting spree is impressive. I'm really shocked the defense didn't try a temporary insanity argument. So very sad.
