There is a group of male students sitting around a female student. If there is a mentor sitting with them, they will be less encouraged to do anything wierd.

Being a female student who usually prefers to hang out in large groups of guys rather than girls, I disagree with this idea. I occasionally already feel somewhat different than most of my friends because of societal gender segregation, and this would only make things worse if my friends were watched every time I hung out with them just because I am a girl. That being said, people (including other students) should look out for odd behavior because it does sometimes happen.
