So there's a little bit of cross-sex bullying. It mostly happens in elementary school. When they get to be in high school, they really just want to date each other. So they don't do it as much.

Yeah, exactly. And also, I think we've done a pretty good job at really making it clear that, you know, good boys don't pick on girls. So I think if you're doing that when you're 17, there's something pretty wrong about you.

So yeah, so you tend to not see it as, as much as they get older, but when they're little kids and they haven't got the script yet and they haven't, or the memo hasn't been received. Um, yeah, little boys can be little shits to girls, but little girls can be little shits to boys.

Yeah. It's interesting though. So the sex difference in, in the expression of bullying. Um, so a lot of times people want to say that there's no gender difference when it comes to indirect aggression, but they have not looked at it in terms of proportion. So they look at it in terms of means and it's true. Boys use it just as much as girls, but girls only use this.

And they tend to focus on this form of bullying early on. So we can see it in, um, Three-year-olds, four-year-olds, five-year-olds were, you know, you can't sit with me during circle time. They spread little rumors, you know, Chris pees his pants, that sort of thing. So they're pretty mean.

We did a couple studies where we looked at toddlers and we did direct observations and these girls were nasty.

I like how you described it. I think that really is what it is. They're practicing, they're honing a skill for the future. Kai Bjornquist proposed this heterotopic continuity model.
