I remember in year 7 was walking behind girl in the year above between the bus stop and school gate. She was maybe 13 ish (I think). She was one of the hottest girls to us but looked her age to adults.
The looks from some of the men in a line of cars who stuck in traffic was just horrifying and stuck with me. Some proper leered at her, and one who was a passenger even nudged the driver to look. She didn't react or anything and remember thinking poor girl, she must get this all the time to be so used to it.
