I am reading Jilly Cooper's Wicked (short version - fancy prep school merges with worst school in the county, chaos ensues) and I have decided that Dora Belvedon pretty much wins the 'ballsiest 15-yr-old ever' award.
Consider:
She gets taken away by Mommy's creeptastic, child-molesting, rapist boyfriend (yeah, Mommy knows how to pick 'em). He tries to rape her and she manages to fight him off, so (because he's not the sharpest tool in the shed and an utter psycho), he tries to convince her to cooperate by showing her a video of her boyfriend being raped by a bunch of his pedo friends at a party a few years earlier (I am not sure if it's some sort of demented 'he's gay so you should get on with me' or 'it's futile to resist, girl, we've been doing it for ages' - I think both), so Dora manages to sic her dog on him and then after some more fighting gets her hands on a gun, holds him at gunpoint, finds his secret stash of coke and calls the cops. And she busts him AND his pedo friends, and as he's being led away in handcuffs, she tells him something to the effect of "and that's what you get for raping my boyfriend."
OMFG, she is so fucking awesome. I bet she's going to be a superhero when she grows up.
Seriously. DORA = MORE AWESOME THAN THE WORLD CAN CONTAIN.
