Whats the difference between how girls and boys bully?
McCONNELL: Girls tend to use relationships a lot more than boys. They’ll theaten to exclude. Sometimes they’ll spread rumours and talk about girls behind their backs to change their social status in their community. Boys are more verbal and certainly more physical. When girls bully, the emotional impact is deeper. When boys bully – granted it’s both psychologically and emotionally very damaging – but when it’s a physical bullying, the event actually ends whereas in girls it continues on in their relationship and impacts every moment of their day.
