Look at contrary boy creating shame (7)
I believe the answer is:
scandal
'shame' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'look at contrary boy' is the wordplay.
'look at' becomes 'scan' (scanning is a kind of looking at).
'contrary' says the letters should be written backwards.
'boy' becomes 'lad' (lad is a kind of boy**).
'lad' in reverse letter order is 'dal'.
'scan'+'dal'='SCANDAL'
'creating' is the link.
(Other definitions for scandal that I've seen before include "Shocking thing" , "Shocking disgrace" , "Outrageous event" , "Disgraceful event" , "Something shameful or disgraceful, often public" .)
