That is an extremely wonderful thought of them for thinking in that way. When I was in middle school, my class had 50 students but only 11 of them are boys, which was including me . There was a group of 7 boys , who called themselves “ the group of shine “ , liked to make jokes in class and made fun of the girls and other member . The funny thing was the girls in the class loved them because they were funny and popular , which was one of the reason I joined them later. If someone made them unhappy , they would have been made that student look like an idiot or would have tried to embarrassed that student. Sometimes they went too far and made a girl cry, but then they tried to make her happy and acted like nothing was happened. .
