Here's my theories (and they're based on what I think I would have done at 17):
1. I'm 17 and invincible. My adrenaline is going full tilt. You turn around after scaring me, I'm going to let you know what I think of you. Being a girl, I'm going to use words. Not sure what I'd do if I were a boy. (I didn't say this was a good idea but I can certainly see me doing it and, if I would do it, I can see Martin doing it.)
2. First, I want to make sure you're following me. I want to know why you're following me -- are you out to hurt me? do you want to know where I live to force your way into my home? do you know me or my family?
3. No way am I going to lead you to my house -- you might really be a bad guy and want to break into my home and harm my family.
4. I just smoked some dope and there is no way I want to look stoned to my dad. (Not that unusual for many of today's youth. Heck, it wasn't that unusual for my generation.)
5. I like walking in the rain in my hoodie (yes, I really do). Why should I have to quit my stroll for some jerk who thinks he can intimidate me?
