Yeah, like maybe one of the other kids' parents previously found out about this or similar bullying, tipped the school off, and the school said something vague about "There have been reports concerning online rudeness toward others, we don't tolerate this at St. Matthew's Saintly School, blah blah, please make sure that wasn't your kid." And nothing was done to actually stop anyone, and here we are.

Calling others "rude" for not conforming sounds to me a bit as though this girl may have grown up hearing "we don't do that, darling, that's rude" for every sort of behavioral infraction, and essentially learned that the important thing was to conform to a certain outward look, and otherwise do what you want. I may just be making that up, of course.

Another basically irrelevant matter: I wonder if LW is British, given the use of expressions like "different to" and "come round."
