I know, even in real life people do that sometimes. I've come across people who needed comfort in the past because something had happened and okay, sure one or two had feelings toward me but I highly doubt they were using their problem to make me feel sympathetic towards them.

Exactly, when something drastic happens, you can't always expect people to think properly. Shirley was pretty much living the good life, you know. She's pretty, rich (I suspect she's from a well-to-do family), has great friends and she's just a teen.

Damn, I need some Shirley icons.
