Though some people continue bullying into adulthood, many of us have more control of our situations as we grow older, and in we can often avoid situations where we will be bullied. Students usually have so little control of their situation that they are really stuck and can't get away from bullies. School can be a special kind of hell if you don't fit in and can't get away.

But it is not like every single female group had massive bullying problem. Just like there are plenty of boy groups who don't bully each other.
This is like saying "I had no idea how severely boys beat or insult each other". It is absolutely true that such problem exists among boys. But you still have a lot of groups where boys don't beat each other.

If anyone is looking for how interaction between teen girls look like, this parody made by The Onion is the best depiction I've ever seen: https://youtu.be/XUT8ec24anM
But then the bullying never really goes away for either gender. It's disguised and legitimised as various commercial, professional, political, and social activities, but the motivations are similar - just more covert.
