  3. .David must have too much stress by the homework as when he has A's for every subject in INDONESIA but come to singapore he downgraded anf failed a lot of subjects.
    .HE must have lose control of himself about his family problem like parent divorce,lack of money to pay his fees int he poly.
    .Recently,he was known to be addicted to games like warcraft and more that keep killing people,but when the professor knew he kept consoling but he ignored.
    .OR the professor embarrassed him in front of the whole school and people always talked back about him.
    .always point at him or accused him in front of the class or the whole school.

  7. David might be too stress,game possesed,miss understanding between professor and him,or he hated the professor for some reason. David might be stress over singapore's education as he was a indonesian and the education level in singapore and indonesia is different. David might be game possesed as the report says he plays violent games. so he might be affected and accdicted to the game.As it was David's final year in the university ,he had to take a test before he could even gratuate from university.He might be very curious about the topics that the paper would be testing so he ask the professor and the professor maybe gave him the wrong topics and he was very angry.maybe because of over playing of computer games he slept late every night and keep falling asleep during his lessons, and the professor scolded him he miht be super angry at the professor. done by: deniselai(5),zulhilmi (39),syafiqha ,jun yi.
