^^ I think that her age is very important in this situation. Teenagers make bad decisions. They're brains are not yet full developed and it is harder for them to gauge long term effects of their actions (this is scientifically proven).

Just because Ezra and Toby, more so Ezra, didn't affect as many people it doesn't mean they are any less to blame. Ezra manipulated and took advantage of a minor who was his student and then stalked her and her friends. I don't see how you could forgive anyone for doing that because that is predator type behaviour.

I have forgiven Alison because I have taken into account all of her and not just based her off her indiscretions. From the flashback we saw in 5x13 we saw that her mother trained these manipulative ways into her from a very young age.

If Ezra and Alison were to both be punished for the crimes they committed, Ezra would get a much bigger sentence than Alison would. If they had portrayed and handled the Ezra storyline differently, he could easily seen as a villain because he is not far from it. It was sugarcoated though because he is Aria's love interest.
