«Just hit him back» or «tell a teacher»? What the grown-ups say, sentence 11

Lily's dad said «you're a girl, you should never hit» — as if boys should — and Lily's gran said «ignore them and they'll stop», but the ponytail tugging did not stop, because ignoring only works when the other person is bored, not when they are enjoying it.

Who acts: dad, you, gran, boys, ponytail tugging, ignoring · What happens: say, be, not hit, ignore, stop, not stop · To what, where: girl, boys, person · Speech: someone speaks here
