It's worth paying attention to if it happens to you personally though. Sure it might not be across the country, but most teenagers don't get to venture outside the town they grow up in, so if it's like that, it makes up most of their world. So yeah, that it happens is enough for some people as that would constitute their entire teenage life. I don't understand why this is difficult to grasp. I literally opened and said it's a spectrum and the people do exist at either end and that obviously implies it's not everywhere. So half of what you said isn't even treading new ground or refuting anything.
It's not major if it doesn't happen to you. It is major if it does. This is super simple even a child should understand it.
