Bullying aff ects the development of adolescents. This study aimed to compare bullying experiences and variables of family interactions between boys and girls. The sample consisted of 2,354 Brazilian Students (50.7% girls; M = 14.5 years, SD = 2.0) who answered two scales on bullying and family interactions. 55 adolescents participate of the semi structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using Student’s t-test and Cohen’s d-index. The qualitative analysis of the interviews was developed in the Atlas.TI software. We identifi ed that boys were more aggressors and victim-aggressors. The mixed results indicated that bullying and victimization manifested with few diff erences between boys and girls regarding the quality of family interactions. Positive communication in the family was a protective factor for girls, while negative marital climate and physical punishment increased vulnerability to bullying or victimization for both sexes. Practical implications for coping with bullying are discussed.
