I don't think she wanted any attention in the first place. Probably, she was trying to run away from attention. Often we Nepali think depression is not a problem. It is a desease itself. I have locked myself up for 13 days inside an apt one time. However, i had no loyal friends like this girl had so no one noticed that i was in there for 13 days. life in America is very hard. Actually it is not hard but the expectations we have from our friends and family makes it worse. I don't know when we Nepali gonna be smart like Indians and come here in masters program. Do you hear any indians missing in Estes park , working for summer job. hell summer job, illegal - unauthorized job. Indians are smart to come for their masters, where they get paid. After a couple of years they work under h1 and bring thier wives, drive new cars. While Nepali students go work i n estes park and ocean city maryland, illegal, unauthorized. Stupid friends back home see the pics taken in mountains and think life is the usa is so chill and they are being under privillaged. Next year they come to undergrad program themselves and end up workin in an amusement park of ocean city or some sweet shop in estes park. i think all unauhorized Nepalis working in estes park and OC maryland should be punished. So they will tell thier friends back home that it is not as easy as it looks. So finally Nepali students come in masters program too and don't get killed in gasstation, car accidents, lost in estes park or shoot someone accidently while living rough life and working like slaves to save money and go to school. Wake up my people. Stop this unautorized students working like slaves tradition. please save the future generation. share your hard times..
