I mean, bullying has always been a thing, but until recent times, bullying happened 99% to males. But now it seems there is a lot more female to female bullying than ever before, and it’s not just in inner city schools.
Depends on what your definition of “bullying” is.
Today, bullying is bastardized and dumbed down to mean any kind of picking on.
In my day I was constantly picked on and tortured - girls (well, some boys) - and occasionally physically threatened. For being ugly.
I never largely considered most of my torture to be “bullying” though often the same girls did it over and over - that was the big element of what it meant. Same people torturing you constantly.
But also it usually was thought to include physical threat/assault/battery.
But in today’s “everything is bullying” - yeah, I was bullied big time as a girl by girls.
It's always been this way for girls, too, at least where I grew up a long time ago. Even the boys would gang up to shove us girls around.
But, back then, the bullies didn't have social media. Now, the whole world laughs at the kid who's bullied.
