Not asking if it's true, just getting their story on what happened. Kids don't always see where something they were doing is wrong and it gives you a starting point to address it.

This is so true. As a teacher, I have noticed that sometimes what one student sees as inappropriate behavior another student deems completely appropriate. In high school, I see this more and more.
Example: Student A says something to Student B that seems harmless to A. However B felt offended/ridiculed/bullied etc. Teacher intervenes and A truly has no idea that he or she has done anything wrong. But after sitting down with and talking it out, A realizes how the comments might have been hurtful.
