1.

Right, they have a safety net (parents). People say cut off all support and kick them out, but if you do that, they'll just make a 'big decision' (euphemism for suicide).

Do you think it's only cases of them killing themselves? The cases where they *don't* do that are even scarier.

If you kick them out, they'll definitely do *something* lmaooo

That 'something' could also be making a 'big decision,' you know? lol

Big decision or whatever, that's just their blackmail. They need to be made to do *something*.

The real problem is that 'something' includes crime and suicide.

90% of Korea's social problems are already predicted by Japan, who's 10-20 years ahead, but everyone just ignores it and acts like they've never seen it before, not preparing at all lol.

You mean the criminal cases among the 'not that' cases, right? Those kinds of kids just do what they were going to do anyway once their safety net (parents) disappears.
