I felt sorry for him because the other kids did not like him. I would hope that if I thought he was strange, I would just leave hime alone.
The tried to ignore him or stay away from him. We really only heard Doug's side of reality. Perhaps if we heard from his classmates, they may say some strange things about him. Perhaps it was obvious to them he was crazy.
They treated him like an oddity...which lets face it he was.
If I thought he was crazy, I would have tried to stay as far away as I could. And if he was stalking and staring at me, I would react the same as the girl in the story.
I think I would have ignored him. In high school, you don't want to draw negative attention to yourself by being friendly with "strange" people.
