I can speak from experience (and now utter embarrassment) that 
schoolboys sometimes say and do inappropriately horrible things even 
about and/or to girls they are attracted to. Especially if they are 
on the defensive anyway. I remember punching a girl I liked in the 
shoulder over something and feeling terrible when saw the tear well 
up in her eye. We're not fully in command of our hormones or senses 
at that age unfortunately.
