Sorry, no experience with girls’ schools (though I haven’t heard of any bullying from my friends whose daughters attend girls’ schools), but my son hasn’t seen it at his all-boys’ school. As the youngest on his fall varsity team, he was “the freshman” and was treated as such – carrying the water bottles and the bag of balls and doing other lowly tasks – but I think that’s par for the course. I have heard of a hazing-type incident at another all boys’ school within the past few years that resulted in a boy being expelled, which I found troubling.

There have been threads on this board about some very unfortunate bullying experiences. It’s worth exploring and asking questions about the schools’ processes and what resources are available to kids experiencing bullying or mistreatment.
