Teachers can't stop all or even most of it, though. It's especially difficult to stop in high school, where the kids are smarter, slicker, meaner, and borderline adults, if not adults already. There are always going to be a group of girls spreading rumors about other girls, for example. There's a reason so many people say high school is hell. With boys, yep, certainly aren't as bitchy/messy as girls, I agree, which is one aspect I can favor males for.
