That's just it though. It's not simply teenagers. It's a lot of people who dig the anonymity and the ability to attack and hurt other people with little fear of repercussions. The whole article is about how being dismissive of the problem is how it got to be such a problem in the first place.

It's also about how passion can turn from a painful sort of love into something simply painful. Everyone has their breaking point. It's easy to understand when you've seen a strong person get broken or had it happen yourself. Not so easy otherwise. Don't forget that bulletproof vests are no good against knives.
