"Honestly, if I could collect from all the guys who groped me when I was a teenager"

Weren't they teenagers too?

Some were, some weren't. Why should that matter? According to the reasoning of the lawsuits, it's the fact of having been "inappropriately touched" that ruins one's life and requires millions of dollars to compensate.

Or were you replying to # 11, "Weren't they teenagers too?"

If so, I think it might matter. If one teenager gropes another in the context of a consensual making out situation, that seems to me different from an older man molesting a teenage girl, or even some teenage jerk just groping some girl with whom he has no romantic relationship.

It also piqued my curiosity, in that I cannot imagine my 54 year old self touching a teenage girl, and I wondered how often that sort of thing happened.
