They go to battle in mass groups of dozens, throwing stones and cutting off their opponents' buttons, etc.; sometimes they go to battle completely naked and exposed. In one such scene, about 30 boys return from a battle to celebrate victory at a barn-house only to find some girls waiting for them, and they get very embarrassed at losing their privacy.
