If there is such thing at your school, how does your school do it?

EDIT: Doesn't need to be school, can be your workplace too.

Why I'm asking?

Well I'm the 'most respected' Peer Mediator (I think)(well that's because I've known the peer mediator coordinator since grade 3) at my school, and we just started this year, and we just had our first unofficial trial for recess, and it turns out to be horrible! My grade 5 partner and I were being bombarded with people asking stupid things that they know we cant deal with, and we couldn't keep the confidentiality because their friends keep coming around. But on the other hand,  my friends are tackling me from behind, and I cant even keep track of what they're talking about!!!

Help s'il vous plaît et merci!

EDIT: What's the difference between peer mediation and mediation?

Using peers as mediators is a process known as “peer mediation” This process highlighted by (Charlton, 2000, p.5) is a popular way of handling conflicts and preventing violence in primary schools, high schools and sporting activities. Schools adopting this process often recruit and train students interested in being peer.
