 in the know zone - relational aggression
As the study of relational aggression progressed, it was discovered that girls held no patent on it.  Boys practiced it as well, although at a less sophisticated and probably less destructive level.  Since physical prowess largely defines the childhood and adolescent male social order, physical bullying remains the preferred form among boys.
The female preference for relational aggression is usually attributed to society’s image of the ideal female as a non-aggressive nurturer, and the resulting social stigma that attaches to overtly aggressive behavior by women, who risk negative labels (e.g., bitch, nag or shrew).  However, the origins of the preference probably lie far deeper in human evolution.
In short, indirect aggression may be somewhat hard wired into the female human psyche, and the expectation of overtly nurturing; cooperative female behavior (and the reality of covert female aggression) may date back to our proto-human and even pre-human ancestors.

 Aggression in Adolescent girls
Although boys and girls express aggression in similar physical ways – pushing, kicking, hitting – until they are age four, at this age, girls begin to understand expectations that society has for them and adjust their aggression accordingly.
Since relational aggression is rooted in the conflict between a girl’s desire to be nice and her inner aggressive feelings, if girls were trained to accept conflict as natural and healthy then it might promote healthier forms of aggression rather than more destructive, indirect forms.
