8. because boys usually don't know the other boys they bully, but girls operate within their circle of friends or classmates, and for the bullied girl it's more difficult to get out of the circle
Bullying other students at school is more common than we think. They are humiliating acts very difficult to detect. Only when a student outside events decide to terminate teachers, is when you turn on the alarms and take action. The disciplinary measures must be immediate and forceful against predators and against the mask. The student often harassed a student again at the center, good student, and normalized. Teachers should have more effective legal means and quick to act against bullies. One way to prevent bullying is constant vigilance against the suspects in the hours of recreational or group activities and especially the tutorials for conscientious students to denounce these acts
