I had this happen once when I was in jr high. Someone was teasing a girl and was like "You could go out with !". She responded with "ew". It kind of fucked me up for a bit because I was like "yea I'm not very attractive and you don't want to date me, sure, I understand, but am I gross too?

I had someone say "ew" about me. We were fucking the next week. You never know what's going on it people's heads. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

In jr high I gave a stuffed animal to the girl I liked and she immediately went to the trashcan and threw it out. Kids are cruel.

it's because they lack the life experience that allows them the empathy of an adult.

a lack of empathy is one of the major reasons why some people never "mature" into adulthood.
