With that logic, grown ups should be chewing each other's faces off in the street all the time.

Adults can be plenty cruel. It's just typically done with more subtlety, sophistication and plausible deniability than is employed by teens.

Yes, it can be done at various levels of subtlety as well as at group levels. Why else would we have such words describing adult behavior as "workplace bullying", "online harassment", "domestic violence", "culture wars", "race hustling", etc.?
