A fifteen year old gets punched in the face because she doesn't like a trashy, stupid band.
This bothers me more than you can imagine. It brought back vivid memories of being hit in the head with a rock, of being punched in the face when I was a teenager. Even worse than the harassment and violence of my peers was the reaction of the adults. They are all the more awful because the adults around me told me it was my fault, that those boys couldn't be blamed for wanting to hurt me.
