Working with honor-related problems is described as complicated and the respondents state that students who live with honor-related problems usually take part in school counseling for help. Working together with social services described as important, but some respondents are critical to the way social services handle cases involving honor-related problems. The respondents declare that honor-related problems could affect anybody, but the consequences can be different dependent of gender.
