Do you really think courts will take libel cases between 14-15 year old kids? Really?
You have to be somewhat known to be able to claim damages from libel. You have to be like Sandmann, or someone who got smeared as a rapist in a national newspaper.
The courts will not waste their time policing kids spreading rumors about each other.
Libel only works for public figures.
Uh...no? It's harder to make a libel claim as a public figure, private persons have a much easier time suing someone for libel.
