Nearly two years later, [[spoiler:Will]] attacked a 15-year-old girl and admitted to Emily he'd been trying to kill her to replicate his great-grandfather's crimes.

** Tsubasa Kowase loved to beat up Kiritaka black and blue, nearly drown him, and/or record all the torture his friends would put on Kiritaka. Two years later, he gives the same treatment he gave Kiritaka to other young girls, but only targets them because he believes they’re too weak to fight back. Kowase even makes money is by selling panty shots of random girls at his school to third parties. He's not above selling panty shots of elementary schoolgirls either. When his phone gets hacked and exposed all of his evil deeds, he accuses his frequent victim, Yajima, and threatens to expose her shoplifting and sex videos while he’s beating her up and nearly drowns her.

* In Literature/TheBible, the prophet Elisha encounters a gang of obnoxious delinquents, who must have been in their teens ''at youngest'', who insult him by saying "Go on up, you bald head." Or more colloquially, "Drop dead, you old fool!" Elisha won't take this lying down, and God allows [[BearsAreBadNews two she-bears]] to [[KarmicDeath maul forty-two of those cruel teens]]. BullyingADragon, indeed.
** Earlier in the Bible, we have Ishmael, who, at fourteen years old, [[BigBrotherBully did nothing but pick on his younger half-brother Isaac]]. When Isaac's mother Sarah saw this, [[MamaBear she was furious]], and she saw to it that Ishmael and his mother Hagar were sent away from Abraham's household. Ishmael later went on to become the forefather of the Arabs and, eventually, the Muslims. Though, considering that Ishmael was the son of the slave-woman Hagar (who was effectively acting as surrogate mother since Sarah was infertile) and Sarah's idea of sending them away involved having them abandoned in the desert to die of dehydration, it is debatable who was the real monster.

** Kumiru Shikimi frequently hooks up with older, lonely singles while [[TheFakeCutie portraying herself as a sensitive, caring girl]]... before revealing that [[Really17YearsOld she's actually underage]] and [[HoneyTrap extorting massive sums of money out of her vulnerable targets in exchange for keeping the fact that they were about to sleep with a minor under wraps]] (and having her helper beat the stuffings out of them just to hammer it in). She also isolated Kiritaka from his peers by [[FrameUp making it look like he stole her gym clothes]], which everyone was too scared or too apathetic to contest (and is heavily implied to have done similar things to other students she didn't like), leaving him with no friends throughout middle school. After Maria [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine uses her own tactics against her]] and makes it look like she's trying to frame up Kinugawa, Shikimi reacts by throwing a tantrum and SkippingSchool, before sending her helper and his goons to beat up Maria [[DisproportionateRetribution for telling her that she would end up alone with that kind of attitude]].

** This is exacerbated by the fact that Exemplars - those whose power makes them into their idealized selves, usually with improved health and vigor, heightened mental capabilities, SuperStrength, and a HeroicBuild - all experience heightened ''emotions'' as well (on top of being {{Hormone Addled Teenager}}s), making them temperamental and prone to monomania. Since about a sixth of all mutants have some degree of the Exemplar trait, this makes it a major headache for the school administration.
