Men pushing in in queues and not social distancing.

Oh hooves behave. And Stop moving the goalposts. It wasn't about girls being worse, it was about you implying that someone had said verbal bullying was not as bad as physical bullying.

When they were simply comparing bullying with bullying by dangling someone over the stairs.

Tch.

(Points at Ro's post)

And that right there is why I'm glad I went to a girls school.

Boys were awful with the verbal insults at my school. Barely a day went by when one of them didn't call me ugly.

Tinsel thats horrible behaviour. You know what they say about false allegations.

There's a massive (& growing) issue in schools for girls being sexually harrassed & assaulted by male peers.

Unacceptable behaviour & demonstrates a failure to safeguard children, especially girls, in schools.

Telegraph January 2020
"More than a third of girls say they have been sexually harassed at school, a charity survey has found, compared to just six per cent of their male classmates.

Two thirds of girls have been sexually harassed in public, with thousands across the UK feeling unsafe in public and held back by sexism in schools.

Over half of these girls faced sexual harassment while dressed in their school uniform, a Plan International UK survey of more than 1,000 girls and young women aged 14-21 has revealed.

Among the issues raised in the State of Girls' Rights in the UK 2020 report were feeling unsafe in public, hampered sexual harassment in the classroom and believing that their opinions are not heard.

Girls said they did not feel safe on their own as they made their way through the places they live and, and many tried to find ways to avoid being physically and verbally harassed. "

Hopefully kittens they’ve certainly not had experiences like that

And the one in junior school when a group of boys took a girl to the other end of the field and ripped her knickers off

I did not tell then that one, don’t think i will

Dangling over the stairs hooves. Dangling. Stairs.

Yes, I can read. And the final sentence of that paragraph was "but girls are so much worse than boys" insinuating that physical bullying is worse than mental bullying.

If Rufus's kids were shocked at her tales of schooldays past that's at least hopefully a sign that things may have improved a bit?

Tinsel

God yeah, all insults about me physically have come from men

Complements about 50/50

Maybe its that negging thing?

I'm struggling with your definition of bullying that was not potentially life threatening

Now now...where has the ‘your’ come from?

And the definition...no poster has given a definition

potentially life threatening in the dangling someone over a staircase sense.

Dangling over the stairs hooves. Dangling. Stairs.

Boys were awful with the verbal insults at my school. Barely a day went by when one of them didn't call me ugly.

(I'm no Miss World, but no Orc either).

Bullying can take a number of predictable forms Hooves

Its a pattern of behaviour concerned with control & power.

Its recognisable.

Wow...that is generous!!

Which part of ‘there was some bullying’ are you struggling to understand

A girl at my daughter's school killed herself as a result of online bullying. I'm struggling with your definition of bullying that was not potentially life threatening. I think all bullying has the potential to be life threatening

That was the poorest attempt at goading in a while. 2/10 if I'm being generous.

That was obviously to hooves

there was some bullying none of it was potentially life threatening

Which part of ‘there was some bullying’ are you struggling to understand

I went to a girls school and though there was some bullying none of it was potentially life threatening in the dangling someone over a staircase sense. But hey, girls are worse, obviously.

Oh I see. You're one of those who think that only physical bullying counts as bullying - a sticks and stones type right?

Bullying is bullying, regardless of the form that it takes

Did you got to Grange Hill Rufus

No

And thats the thing...it wasn’t the roughest school in the town...it was one of the best, still had its moments i guess

Did you got to Grange Hill Rufus?

I've never read Sweet Valley High.

I went to a girls school and though there was some bullying none of it was potentially life threatening in the dangling someone over a staircase sense. But hey, girls are worse, obviously.

I still think it was a nice school

I had fun there

Crikey, was everybody's girls' school a hotbed of mean girls, cool girls, ostracisation and gangs?

Didn’t go to a girls school

At my school a boy held a lit cigarette up to my eye and he and his friends held a boy by his ankles over two flights of stairs

The second Instance was bullying behavior

I liked my school...I thought it was a nice one right up until i told my children Those two stories last week, and oh my goodness their faces

Symbolic, innit?
