One thing I am a bit troubled by is how much of this behavior goes on either undetected by mentors or not heard about until long after it happened. You try to be as watchful as you can but at a competition with 2-3 dozen students in various locations, it's impossible to be omniscient.

Last week, I learned of harassment of girls on our team by members of another team which happened last year during Worlds. No one on our team ever said anything about it to a mentor until last week. The only reason it came up now was because we had another similar incident recently which mentors were aware of. It was quite unsettling.
