[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would’ve expected it to be the boys, but thinking about it more girls and boys at this age are different developmentally. Maybe the more aggressive tendencies in males (compared to females) come out later. I’d think that there would def be more boys than girls  involved in fights at the high school level?[/quote]

I have had kids at our high school going on 8 years now. And 5 years at the middle school.

In all those years, I recall only 1 fight between boys at the high school.

It was what I would consider a valiant fight.  One of the cool kids had been relentlessly bullying and taunting a very geeky freshmen.

An upperclassmen intervened, and when the bully didn't stop the upperclassmen kicked his butt.  No one was seriously hurt, just seriously embarrassed.  It was the classic way to put a bully in his place and many were applauding the kid who got physical with the bully.  Unfortunately,  both kids were suspended.  The one who stepped in should have received accolades in my opinion.

At our middle school, there were weekly fights last year, mostly between girls. Many were during school hours. Frequently they were after school.

I don't know why the girls seems to fight more than boys.[/quote]
