I'm 34 and just in my lifetime it's become way less acceptable for men to comment on women's bodies and in schools there's been a complete flip from 'don't dress like that, you'll distract the boys' to the focus being on that the boys shouldn't care and should still behave. (To an extreme, I think. Expecting adult men to have that level of self-control is fine, but a 12 year old boy is kind of new to 'everything make peepee hard' so maybe cut them a little slack.)
Essentially, existing as an obvious female is no longer seen as an acceptable reason to sexualize them.
I'm sure the boys will still do it because part of being an adolescent is doing what adults tell you not to, but the girls might get less horrified by their breasts if the adults around them view comments on them poorly/support them.
