One day, you too will be old and understand that kids aren't always blameless and treated terribly, and you'll see your peers whom you know to be good parents being treated terribly by their kids, and you won't look back on this moment because you'll have had hundreds of thousands of more important life experiences... But you will have an interaction like ours from the other side, and you will be hit with a strong and deep sadness that extends far into the future.
If you're lucky, they'll apologize for saying something so devoid of empathy for the people who actually have to deal with the damage caused in favor of a hypothetical person who was hurt by them. But most likely they'll double down, because they're 14-25, and the only thing more important than being right at that age is proving that age doesn't matter
