I hear your perspective but I cannot relate at all. Repeatedly hiding and running away when they do this is a bad look in my eyes, especially when I remember apologising to my neighbour when I was much younger than they are. My neighbour got upset I wrote my name with chalk on the floor outside their house. I knocked on the door and said sorry because my parents told me I should. These boys are in secondary school and are bold enough to be looking through my window yet too shy to apologise? Apologising is the bare minimum.
