Post 4: Crazy Meter

In Episode 2 "The Breakup" we learn more about Adnan and Hae's relationship. One of the major questions is : Did Adnan seem abnormally obsessed or crazy? The prosecution will end up saying that he was so disturbed by their breakup that he killed Hae. What do you think? Are the incidents noted in Episode 2 evidence to prove that claim?

My APEX detectives, you are all experts in high school behavior: What did you find normal behavior? What did you think was unusual, abnormal, crazy,  or even psychopathic?

Consider the following incidents:

  1. Calling girlfriend "devil" 
  2. Calling an ex at 12:30 am on a school night
  3. Crashing girls' night
  4. Having multiple girlfriends in different towns 
  5. Doing a big favor for an ex 
  6. Using "kill" in a conversation 
  7. Not paging Hae after she went missing
  8. Parents crashing the dance 
  9. Mr. S finding the body 
  10. Buying a fancy jacket for an ex
  11. Doodling names 100+ times
  12. Aiding crime without telling the police 
Rate them on a scale of 1-10 where 1 means "This is normal behavior. I know someone who would do this" to 10 "This is psychopathic behavior. I don't know anyone who would even consider this."  If you think it is somewhere in the middle (5) i.e. abnormal behavior, but not completely crazy or dangerous.

Where do these incidents rate on the Crazy Meter? 
1 Normal < -------------------------------------------------------------------> Psychopathic 10  

List the 12 incidents in your response and rate them. Choose one that you rated normal (1-3) and explain. Choose one that you rated as slightly crazy but not unheard of (4-6) and explain. Then choose one that you rated the highest on the scale (anywhere from 6-10) and explain your reasoning. Finally, answer the question: Did Adnan seem abnormally obsessed or crazy? Why?

    Number 2 doesn't concern me because their are a lot of teenagers lurking around at very late times. I wouldn't consider a call around midnight to be sketchy at all.
    Number 6 could mean anything. It was weird that he used the word kill in his writing. But that doesn't have any straight forward evidence towards it meaning anything about Hae's murder. In my opinion anyways.
    Number 7 concerned me mostly because he was so involved with so many ex's and other girls, buying girls pricy jackets and doing them big favors. Why wouldn't he try to get ahold of her when he had heard the news?
