Bullying – Boys vs Girls

Boys – direct bullying
Girls – indirect bullying

Direct bullying is punching, kicking, knocking books out of people’s hands, and throwing things.
Indirect bullying is gossiping, exclusion, rude stares, and words to name a few.

Why do they bully?

There is no clear answer to why people bully, we just need to remember that bullying happens – unfortunately everywhere.
Communities must become proactive. Finding out about the bad behavior at an early stage allows parents/counselors/administrators to help those to become productive citizens in their communities.
