There is evidence that it's gendered. One example is that hospital admissions for self-harm are higher for girls than boys. It's also going up for girls and not going up for boys. See figures 1 and 2 of: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/26640...

Check the statistics of hospital admissions for being harmed by others, check the perpetrators, and you'll find the boys missing from your statistic.

I couldn't find those stats - could you please share your source with us?
I was able to find stats on violent crime by youth (mostly boys), and unlike self harm by girls, the rates of serious violent crime have been trending down for years.

In any case, there is a clear gendered difference in the average behavior of girls and boys.
