A lot of the comments here are mocking the girl, and I really dislike this. Much like drug problems, it seems like a mind virus that preys on the vulnerable, and the response to this should be rehabilitation, not punishment. You can't help someone you view as an enemy.

My concept of 'mocking' is something like 'trying to evoke moralish/superior judgmental feelings about the person'. I think of things like, "haha you're an idiot" or "wow look at this piece of work." I don't place 'that belief is a virus' in this category, personally.

It's like an abusive relationship - they're in a belief/community that they're invested in - with their sense of self, their friends, their pride. Just like a friend leaving an abuser, you have to 'be there' for them - don't judge, and provide a safe space to escape to.
