Courageously Sad Jaywalkers

I stopped at a stoplight yesterday and a group of about 6 young teens in gothic-type clothing (or maybe it's punk-type clothing) were sauntering down the sidewalk. The light turned green for me to go and the group hesitated - but one brave young lad decided to walk slowly against the light in front of me. The rest of the group decided to follow. This happens to me every so often. All I could think of was how sad it is that the way one shows courage is by jaywalking.
