BOYS
Boys are generally more physically strong, so we believe that boys use physical forms of aggression more than any other type. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Although "rough and tumble" play is common in boys, they have become sophisticated in their ways to hurt verbally and exclude other kids. These forms of aggression can leave scars for boys who emotionally do not know how to handle these feelings.
GIRLS
Girls, on the other hand, are much more comfortable with "indirect" forms of communication and use verbal teasing and exclusion more than double their use of physical forms of aggression.
Gossiping and exclusion are the two most common forms of bullying for girls - and it has almost become a "universal language" for them.
