I think that many high school students are actively looking for excuses to bully people, bully someone, anyone, as long as there's what they consider to be an "excuse," such as being celibate by choice. Which is no excuse to bully anyone -- as if anything was! -- but many high school students are about as backward socially as a developmentally disabled ventriloquist's dummy in a coma (and some never grow up), and never do get it. The same thing is apparently true of many of the execs who sign off on shows such as Glee and Skins (and let us hope that they don't have children of their own, because their understanding of what is and isn't age-appropriate speech and behavior is obviously dismal; and from the type of shows they push, one has to suspect that they have more than a little lech for underage sexual partners).
