This leads to pervasive form of explicit and implicit bullying, and excessive competition between cliques and between individuals.<ref name="Cookson"/><ref name="Chase"/> The rigid gender stratification and role control is displayed in the boys forming cliques on the basis of wealth and social background, and the girls overtly accepting that they would marry only for money, while choosing only rich or affluent males as boyfriends.<ref name="Cookson"/><ref name="Chase"/> Students are not able to display much sensitivity and emotional response and are unable to have closer relationships except on a superficial and [[Political correctness|politically correct]] level, engaging in social behaviour that would make them seem appropriate and rank high in social hierarchy.<ref name="Cookson"/><ref name="Chase"/> This affects their perceptions of gender and [[social stereotype|social roles]] later in life.<ref name="Cookson"/><ref name="Chase"/>
