Sorry about that, I assume everyone is familiar with difference in bullying rates and types by gender. There’s quite a bit of difference on how girls bully and are bullied [0] and there’s lots of statistics and it all seems to echo the same thing.

This was referenced in the article for how Facebook knew it’s stuff affected girls differently than boys.

I’ve read a lot [1] on how social media, in particular, disproportionately negatively impacts girls.

I don’t think we only talk about this, but because it is more significant it comes up more, I think.

Again, I don’t think this is a reason to blame girls or individual girls, since much of the bullying is not caused or targeted to girls. But it affects girls differently.

Teenage boys' bullying tends to be physical and a lot less socially adept, stereotypically speaking. Social media is less of an accelerant for that sort of thing.
