When I was a kid at school, I was bullied more by boys.
When I was a kid at home, I was bullied more by females.

Mostly boys, because I was in special ed.

Overt bullying was almost exclusively boys, stuff like pulling chairs out from under me as I tried to sit down or pulling hair.

More covert stuff was girls, like exclusion, rumors, false friends, etc.

I was picked on more by boys for being a Special Ed student. I was picked on more by girls in the workforce while working at the factory in the 90s. I was asked repeatedly if I drove, have ever had sex or if I do drugs by the ninnies that I worked with. I stopped hanging around them and found some older, more mature people to hang out with. The older people were between the ages 35 and older and I was around 21 at the time, but it was a lot better than being asked questions by a bunch of sluts about my intelligence in a roundabout way.

I am male.

I can't think of any time I was picked on by a girl. Not one time.

Both. The boys hated me because I was a crybaby, the girls hated me because I had anger management problems and preferred Pokemon to Barbie.

I only got picked on in High School, and I think it was by both.

I got picked on by some girls in the grade above me when walking home from school when I was 11. Then my cousin's friends (who were also in the grade above me but weren't friends with these girls) took to picking on me too, as in making me feel small. My cousin didn't do anything about it. All she did was yell at them if they made me cry because I was embarrassing, although never mind how they were making me feel - and NTs are supposed to have empathy???

I then got picked on by 2 older boys when I was about 13-14. They kept calling me Japanese every time they passed me, even though I didn't even look remotively Japanese or Asian. They didn't do anything else though, only said ''hi, Japanese'' when they saw me, and when I tried asking them why they were calling me that, they never answered me, just said ''hi, Japanese'' again. I suppose that didn't damage my self-esteem in any way nor didn't upset me really. It was just so random and annoying.

Then I got picked on by some boys younger than me when I was 15-16, when I walked home from school. At first they acted like they fancied me, which maybe they did, but then they started to behave a bit pervy, like touching my bum in front of other kids and pulling their trousers down and just doing other things to show me up. Then after my mate pushed one of them up against the lockers when we caught him in school, they began tripping me up on my way home from school - until one day they tripped me up and I smiled to them after they did it, and that kind of surprised them and they left me alone since.

All the girls in my class seemed to hold it against me that I had Asperger's, instead of just trying to accept me the way I was. They never really picked on my as such, they just rejected me a lot, and sometimes spoke to me like I was 3 years old. The boys in my class were generally nice to me.

Then I got bullied when I was 19 (3 years after I left school) by some ''friends'' I met in college, who were girls.

Girls, boys gave me the odd childish taunt but it was girls that really f****d with my emotions.

Boys, but I find girls are far worse whenever they bully people. I'd rather be picked on by a thousand boys than a handful of girls. Believe me, I'm not saying this because I'm misogynistic, it's just the ways in which girls bully that make them worse. I find that they rely more on ostracization, gossiping and backstabbing than males -- which has been really, really hurtful for me. Plus there's a greater sense that I can stand up to males without being belittled for it.

I agree with you. I've always found teenage girls quite scary at times (not all teenage girls, but most), especially from ages 13-16, some mature a little bit after leaving school, some don't. I was quite lucky through my High School years, as I didn't have too many obnoxious teenage girls in my class, but like I said in my first post in this thread, I had some hard times with some of my cousin's friends. They were those typical teenage girls who would just pick on anyone who was just a teeny bit different or nervous. I found my boy cousin's friends and my brother's friends more easier to get along with than my girl cousin's friends or my own.

They always say boys are stupid, girls are evil. Not all teenagers, before anyone accuses me of stereotypically generalizing, but it's just how I've heard the saying.

Both. The boys were more predictable and boring (except when it was physical), but the girls were a lot more cruel and spiteful (especially when it became sexual bullying/harassment).

I was bullied a lot in elementary school (K-5) and most of my classmates hated me and thought I was a freak. My male classmates were definitely meaner and more vicious. Several of my female classmates were mean too and basically treated me like a contagious virus. However, there were a few girls who were just kind and gentle souls who I imagine took pity on me. When we had game day, I could be in their group--nobody else would have me. I remember one girl in particular who was very nice to me. I am grateful for that.
