Does bullying happen more to boys or girls?

Answer 1

A half boy half girl Bullying can't really be classified into who is bullied more, boys or girls, because bullying is very different for the two genders. Boys many times will bully each other physically and some boys will be seen as having a higher status as other boys, and thus many times will push around the boys of lower status. Girls are much more complicated, and will both verbally and physically bully each other. Bullying between girls can occur at any time, even by one girl telling another her hair looks ugly that day. In a sense bullying probably occurs more often with girls but is much more often overlooked, however the verbal and emotional bullying that girls receive can have very long lasting emotional effects on the girl, such as low self esteem and depression that may even surface later in the girl's life.

Answer 2

Boys tend to resort to physical bullying, while girls mainly use words and emotional jabs. It really depends on how you look at it; both ways can be hurtful and I wouldn't label one or the other as "bullying more."

Answer 3

It could happen to anybody! Bullies don't care if you are a boy or girl, they just pick on somebody who won't stand up or its easy to bully them! If you are getting bullied, then stand up and act like you don't care and don't be afraid to tell a grown up!

Answer 4

Both. Both boys and girls get bullied each year. Boys are usually more physical, and girls are usually more verbal - but that does not mean a girl will not be more physical and a boy will not be more verbal. Bullying can vary - cyber-bullying, in which it is possible the bully is more confident as they are not face-to-face, face-to-face bullying, or mental bullying. Girls tend to bully a bit more as they are more slick-tongued, but boys can also bully just as much.

Answer 5

• A survey in 2006 reveals 434 males and 788 females cyber bullies and the number is growing each year in the U.S. Females are more prone to contact their victim either for the sheer fun of it thinking it is funny or it is a serious matter such as one girl and her friends thinking another girl stole her boyfriend and text messages from female bullies are aimed at the appearance of the victim such as 'you're ugly'; 'you have a crappy body', etc. Although girls certainly can be physical if they so choose they are happier to remain behind their computers or making suggestive threats to the victim at school then to fight., but, more and more girls are becoming aggressive and will often have a gang of their friends along to beat up their victim. Males on the other hand are often more physical and make threats to their victims of physical harm and sometimes these threats are carried out. Many bullies are computer savvy whereas their victims may not be. Public forums are also a target for cyber bullying and either threats are made or, one to groups of so-called friends may drop on of their friends for no apparent reason and target them.
