Gender Differences in Bullying Behavior Girls Bullying In this website article the author portrays how girls subtly bully other girls to create a sense of insecurity and low self esteem. Since girls have better social skills than boys, it is easier for them to disguise their aggression towards other girls. Young girls are also expected to be nice, so in order to take out their aggression it is necessary for them to be sneaky about the bullying that they do, rather than just punching someone like boys do.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Giselle Shaw <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Boys Bullying Gender Differences in Bullying Behavior. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This article delineates the differences between bullying behaviors of males and females. Males, obviously more aggressive, tend to take out their anger by beating up weaker boys to build up a reputation of being "tough". The males who are not as physically strong or more in touch with their artistic sides are often labeled as inferior to the boys who are able to express their more masculine side. The author provides results from a survey taken by males, and the survey suggests that most males are very uncomfortable talking about their feelings in fear of being viewed as feminine or weak.
