How is Scout's goal of becoming a "lady" prevented by her friends in To Kill a Mockingbird?Quotes will be helpful.

You may have noticed that Scout doesn't mention a single
girl her age in any of the chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird, so
hanging around with other boys all the time hardly gives her a chance to change her
tomboy ways. She spends all of her time with Jem when she's not in school, and when the
summer comes, she turns her attention to Dill. She joins them in their own boyish games,
and Scout seems perfectly contented to do so. Atticus does not harass her about her
unladylike ways except when she fights, which he bans her from doing. However, some
classmates, such as Cecil Jacobs, tempt her to fight with insults about Atticus; cousin
Francis does the same. She only dons a dress twice during the story: when she goes to
church with Calpurnia and at the Missionary Circle tea. It is there that she decides for
once that "if Auntie can act like a lady at a time like this, so can
I."
