Same here. As a girl, I was always surprised that the boys felt it was ok to be nasty and hurtful to me. Isn't there a code about that? I think most girls igrnored me or at least waited until I wasn't around to be mean. But every experience that stands out in my memories as a bad high school experience was because of boys (and not in the 'because a boy dumped me' way, more like in the 'because a boy smashed my head into a locker or tore my art project' way.)
