I would say that pretty boys are definately abused by the other kids at school,
but maybe that's just me, and pretty girls are, more often than not, just flat
out harassed, risk being ostracized if they don't put out, are subjected to an
over abundance of degrading remarks, even when crossing the street, moreover,
find themselves lumped in with backbiting cliques that really don't care one
whit about them. Perhaps that wasn't your point, but still, I don't know what
school you were lucky enough to go to, where everyone didn't get their just
deserts,
