I attended a Grammar School for boys from 1966 onwards, the school had several societies of traditional interests to boys, stamp collecting, chess, etc, the railway society the most sizeable, 100 members in a school of 600 pupils, the school turned Co-ed, 50:50 intake girls/boys, societies soon diminished in membership and status (it may have been policy in education to discourage societies for pupils) . An interest in railways became "eccentric", ie immature, .
A degree of ridicule towards railway enthusiasts, today I note women are unsympathetic towards railway enthusiasts.
As for bullying, girl to girl bullying in schools is a serious matter, teaching friends say it is the hardest to deal with, girls employ psychological methods rather than physical, the psychological methods inflict greater long-term distress upon the victim than physical methods.
