The comedian does not think children of about 16 should have the power to hurt other people's kids as opposed to providing guidance.
Bovi noted that it was from such institutions that abuse starts, and when such seniors get out of secondary school, they become bullies and join/create confraternities in the university.

As for the junior students who were punished, the comedian said they become helpless and look for ways to protect themselves and end up also seeking the protection of bad gangs.
Bovi, who went viral for mimicking colleague Sabinus in August, called for the abolishment of the trend.
