Well it depends who the boy or girl is. If the girl has gone through a major change/situation that made her strong then she could be not as prone to pain as the boy mentally, but he might less prone to pain physically.

How is propaganda used by jack in the Lord of the Flies?
He uses the fear of pain upon the other boys, making certain ones among them, such as Samneric as examples to entice the others into doing what he wants them to do.
What is high threshold means?
A high threshold means that there is low sensitivity towards the measure. For example, if an individual has a high pain threshold, it means they are not very sensitive to pain. That is, it will require a lot more pain for them to respond due to their high (pain) threshold. The idea of sensitivities and thresholds can be applied to many areas of psychology such as contrasts and spatial frequencies just to name a few.
Why do people become addicted to pain killers?
Unfortunately people are addicted to pain killers for many reasons. Depression can be a cause. Looking for an escape from reality. Many people take pain killers not so much for pain as the high or the feeling they can get off from them. Some take them for chronic pain and time goes along they may be immune to that strength of pain killer and move on to another more stronger pain killer and then they get addicted to that stronger pain killer and need more. Some people are very easily addicted. It is not always easy to get off an addiction. Whether it be alcohol, cigarette smoking or pain killers prescription or non prescription, or any illegal drugs. Some people just like the feeling that pain killers give to them. Which myself i have never understood. Some need to go to counseling and combat their issues that they are dealing with to remove the need for pain killers and other things they are addicted to. It could be simple things from actual pain to stress, or they just are not handling a break up, job loss, are angry, suicidal, or just depressed, and some people don't understand always why they are depressed either. I have always believed that if you are going on a pain killer (with a dr's prescription), especially one that is addicting, use it moderately. Don't use it all the time. See if you can take Ibuprofen, Aleve or Tylenol with it. If you can use the pain killer, vicodin, percocet, etc.. and then if it still don't help and you can use Ibuprofen or aleve or tylenol, then use those as directed, to eliviate your pain. Don't let the drug take control of you, you need to take control of the drug. If one has a depression, suicidal tendancies etc.. then don't take pain medications for this, see a physician and get help through counseling or other means, or an antidepressent. Pain medications do not resolve these kinds of issues and can lead to more trouble then what it is worth.
Are women able to cope with pain better?
Numerous studies (see men exhibit links) have revealed that men indeed have a higher pain threshold and tolerance than women in normal circumstances. Pregnancy and in particular labor are exceptions as a woman's body adjusts for the pain by highly elevating the level of endorphins in her body and thus that issue is not relevant to the question (see endorphins link). The massive amount of endorphins released during labor help the mother maintain intense focus and alertness that is usually impossible for women as they, unlike men, are naturally built for multitasking. Men with their ability to focus and higher threshold- the point at which you consider something painful- are more able to completely forget about a higher level of pain than women. The higher tolerance- the point at which you consider the pain unbearable or in the studies linked the point at which a participant quit the experiment- in men also make them a better choice for particularly intense pain, again excluding pregnancy. The advantage to the male approach of focusing is that they will either be able to completely shut pain out by focusing on something else for relatively minor pains and will focus on only the pain itself in more intense cases. Women in intense pain often mentally make their pain worse because they see a more broad picture then men and worry about several other aspects of the pain than simply how much it hurts. A man who has just broken a rib will think about how badly his rib hurts; a woman will think about that as well as what effects it will have on her, how long the pain will last, what she should do about it, etc. The female approach has advantages as well however. It has been established in studies that women are less likely to let pain affect their day-to-day life despite their lower threshold and tolerance (see women exhibit link). Most pains that may come into play in a study of day-to-day life are those which are above the average threshold of either gender but still well below the tolerance for either, but because men just shake the pain off it also allows them to feel less pain then women. If a woman multi-tasks it does not distract her from the pain, but only makes her hold it in, which can make it more intense because she'll think about it more. In conclusion, with regards to simply measuring threshold and tolerance one of the links provided describes the male advantage as "moderate," on a scale of small, moderate, and large. With minor pain just above the threshold or very intense pain there is no doubt men have a scientifically significant advantage. __________________________________________________________ I think this was written by a man. But no, really, only men can blah about being tougher. Anyway, I think both are pretty much the same. It depends on the person, but, I believe men can take more pain when it comes to working hard and fighting, because they have the physical strength. But women diliver children which is the most painful natural thing. It also depends on the woman, but I think no man can give birth to a child. And I also think no woman can beat up a man (only in cases of a woman being a 6 foot monster and the man being a 5 foot shorty).

Do boys have more muscle than girls?
This calls for a pointless generalization. There are many types of strength. If you are speaking of muscular strength, generally speaking, a boy of the same age and size as a girl is reasonable likely to be stronger, but not certain to be stronger. A strong girl will surely be stronger than a weak boy. If you are talking about the strength to resist pain, the strength to resist temptation, the strength to devote oneself to duty instead of doing as one pleases, etc., I know of no definitive studies on those subjects, and they would be pointless as well, since they would not answer the question of whether a particular boy or girl would be stronger or weaker than any other particular boy or girl. The normal male human is stronger than the normal female human. The woman has a pain tolerance that is better than a man.
Why do guys like the noises girls make during sex?
alot of girls make noise because they are enjoying it. if you hurt yourself and it is an intense pain, you may notice you moan, because its a very big pain, sex is kinda the same, if you dont moan, cant be that good, the more girls moan, the better it is. boys love making girls feel good in the bedroom, so in conclusion, more girl moans, means the guy is doing a good job, and they like that :P hope this helps ^_^ -kat x

Why boys always gives pain to girls?
For a lot of boys, it's a defensive mechanism. They are worried about getting hurt themselves, so they hurt others to keep them away. It's not a very effective way to do things unfortunately. . .
Why physical pain is difficult to control?
It really depends on the individual. Everyone has a different pain tolerance. Someone who has a high pain tolerance is able to handle a larger amount of pain without having to take anything for it. Some people have a lower pain tolerance, which means they do not handle pain well. In addition, some physical pain is more difficult to deal with. If the pain is in a part of your body that it is hard to avoid moving - your foot or knee, for example - it would be more difficult to control. If you are a having a difficult time with pain control, discuss the different options with your doctor.
