[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have boys this age, and they (in aggregate) seem like idiotic aliens making dumb decisions, but not actively mean or exclusionary. Honestly, I’ve encouraged them to pursue platonic friendships with some of the low-key girls. The boys are way more loyal and there isn’t all of this head-game stuff. What you see and what they say is what it is. And these low-key girls talk them out of things like filling buckets of soda and sticking mentos in. [/quote]

I have a high schooler and this is true - because boys go through this phase later. I’d say 8th/9th grade boys are some of the meanest people on earth. Lots of show off attempts to humiliate other boys in some attempt to be the alpha. Around 14 the girls get better. Boys get worse. It’s prob bc puberty timelines are later. [/quote]

I have both and my experience is that they boy drama is much, MUCH less frequent overall but can be extremely cruel. I also agree that it happens later. From what I see 9th and 10th.
