So, why don't you take some action? You can speak to the head, quoting the European courts ruling for 'discrimination based on gender or sex'. You can rally the support of your friends. You can gang up on the bullies (and the teachers will be forced to punish them). You can organise a boys-wearing-skirts Clothing Liberation Day. You can use your imagination...
