Keep getting mixed statistics. Who is more often bullied boys or girls?

Last thing I read showed it was pretty even overall. But if I remember correctly, it differed in the TYPE of bullying; boys experienced more physical bullying and girls more cyberbulling/rumors.

From a physical perspective boys are bullied more but girls are bullied more by other girls emotionally and via exclusion.

It’s rare for boys to bully girls, but girls also bully boys emotionally and socially.

So, I would be interested to see the statistics and who supplied them, but I would say that girls are more bullied by other girls but it’s not a physical bullying.

“Why do you ask, fatso?”

That’s tough. I never noticed girls being bullied at all. I saw the most bullying in middle school and it was 99% males bullying other males. That could be because males are upfront about their shit talking where as females do it behind each others back. That’s just my personal experience though

It should not be a competition...

I have seen like 3 different statistics for this on this sub and they were all very deeply flawed.

I don't believe that we have any kind of reliable data on this at the moment.

Offcourse boys are getting bullied more, but boys are not expressive. Most of them keep it to themselves.

Any statistics you get you need to check the sources and read what qualified as bullying. I find alot of stats that make their way through the feminist and mens rights groups tend to be biased and leave things out. Bullying comes in may ways theres the physical boys and the mental girls (stereotypically). Also you need to look at how they gather this info. We have seen this in rape statistics where men/boys WON'T answer 'yes' to being assulted but they will say yes to unwanted physical contact. This is due to us being groomed to not think its assult or not wanting to admit we were assulted both to other and/or to ourselves. You also have to look at pll misleading the stats just because pages 1-10 say boys are bullied more doesnt mean page 11 doesnt say but when you factor in ____ it evens out (see original wage gap study to mention the for evey $a man makes a woman make___)

So you cant just read the headline or the article. You need to actually open the stats and the survery to make sure the data isnt biased is some way. Anything that says its not a equal i would be suspicious of.

It's both pretty equal for boys and girls but non-heterosexuals and transgenders get bullied by far the most.

Boys

Prestigious-Hippo950 · 2023-02-09T19:02:29+00:00

I never saw a girl get persistently bullies in school

Kids get bullied. I have never met anyone of any gender or personality type who has never been bullied, UNLESS they had obsessively made sure they were always the bully to avoid getting bullied. If it doesn’t happen when you’re small, it happens when you’re older.

Boys are more often subjects to physical bullying, girls to emotional and sexual (about 25-40% more than boys according to different statistics; that would be because girls enter puberty sooner)

Nihi1986 · 2023-02-10T02:36:44+00:00

There's usually more care about girls (as a teacher I can confirm), but they suffer from bullying too, specially from other girls and in a different form, at least in my country.

I don't have or remember any specific data, though, so take it with a grain of salt, it's just what I've experienced and observed.

Keep in mind the way they are still socialized. The bullied boy is way less likely to complain or to make it evident, and has a much different thresold for what he considers bullying. For example, a boy being unpopular and somewhat socially isolated and rejected might just blame it on himself or cope with it without complaining. Girls tend to notice it when it happens to them and they often label it as bullying, which might be true since that's one of the prefered methods by female bullies.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was quite even nowadays. Anyway, not just for being here on MRM but I personally think that boys usually suffer worse and more long lasting consequences from the bullying while girls eventually find a social circle (even if composed of boys), a boyfriend, and their families tend to be more supportive. Still, many girls get bullied so hard they become suicidal, it's a very worrying and sad problem in our societes, regardless your gender.

Serious question: is the purpose of this sub to create a better society where everyone has the necessary support they need, so it becomes obsolete for one gender to constantly fight against the other - or is this sub just a never-ending suffering competition-rant and no one actually does jack shit to lead by example?

I've seen plenty of subs where people create the support network they don't have in the real world for the specific struggles people around them don't seem to understand but I don't see many people here actually opening up about anything vulnerable and leaning on the others for comfort or solutions? Ya know, the thing y'all claim you're not allowed to do in society but for some reason, you don't seem to know specifically what you want to share except resentment and anger? Which is exactly the stereotypes you said you are fighting against?
