It's pretty much everywhere you go, I don't really know why people stand for it, think it's funny, or let their "friends" indulge in being nasty shitheads. But yeh good for her, don't stand for any shit that people give you, because then they think it's ok to do it to someone else. And to be honest if you don't have the power to dish back what they're giving you, a good punch in the face, or throw water balloons full of your piss, or just slash them round the face, that would give them a good reminder everyday not to prat around with people like that
