I was walking my aunt’s dog when a teenager yelled out the window of his van,” Lick my ****.”I was too shocked to say anything and it put me in a horrible mood. He came out of his van to apologize, saying that he meant to say it to the girl across the street. Just because it wasn’t particularly aimed at me, doesn’t make it right to say. I know that and I’m only 12, so why don’t guys understand?
