Does bullying happen more to boys or girls?

A half boy half girl Bullying can't really be classified into who is bullied more, boys or girls, because bullying is very different for the two genders. Boys many times will bully each other physically and some boys will be seen as having a higher status as other boys, and thus many times will push around the boys of lower status. Girls are much more complicated, and will both verbally and physically bully each other. Bullying between girls can occur at any time, even by one girl telling another her hair looks ugly that day. In a sense bullying probably occurs more often with girls but is much more often overlooked, however the verbal and emotional bullying that girls receive can have very long lasting emotional effects on the girl, such as low self esteem and depression that may even surface later in the girl's life.
