Questionnaire on bullying for students

Name of school : ___________________________________________________________
Grade and classroom: ____________________________________ date: ______________
You will find questions in this booklet about your life in school. There are several answers
next to each question. Answer the question by marking an X in the box next to the answer
that best describes how you feel about school. If you really dislike school, mark an X in
the box next to "I dislike school very much". If you really like school, put an X in the box
next to "I like school very much", and so on. Only mark one of the boxes. Try to keep
the mark inside of the box.
Now put an X in the box next to the answer that best describes how you feel about
school.
1 How do you like school ? 1 I dislike school very much
2 I dislike school
3 I neither like nor dislike school
4 I like school
5 I like school very much
If you mark the wrong box, you can change your answer like this: Make the wrong box
completely black: . Then put an X in the box where you want your answer to be .
Don’t put your name on this booklet. No one will know how you have answered these
questions. But it is important that you answer carefully and how you really feel. Some-
times it is hard to decide what to answer. Then just answer how you think it is. If you have
questions, raise your hand.
Most of the questions are about your life in school in the past couple of months, that
is, the period from start of school after summer/winter holiday vacation until now.
So when you answer, you should think of how it has been during the past 2 or 3 months
and not only how it is just now.
2 Are you a boy or a girl ? 1 girl

2 boy
3 How many good friends do you 1 none

have in your class(es) 2 I have 1 good friend in my class(es)
3 I have 2 or 3 good friends
4 I have 4 or 5 good friends
5 I have 6 or more good friends in my
class(es)

About being bullied by other students
Here are some questions about being bullied by other students. First we define or
explain the word bullying. We say a student is being bullied when another student,
or several other students
• say mean and hurtful things or make fun of him or her or call him or her mean and
hurtful names
• completely ignore or exclude him or her from their group of friends or leave him or
her out of things on purpose
• hit, kick, push, shove around, or lock him or her inside a room
• tell lies or spread false rumors about him or her or send mean notes and try to
make other students dislike him or her
• and other hurtful things like that.
When we talk about bullying, these things happen repeatedly, and it is difficult for
the student being bullied to defend himself or herself. We also call it bullying, when
a student is teased repeatedly in a mean and hurtful way.
But we don’t call it bullying when the teasing is done in a friendly and playful way.
Also, it is not bullying when two students of about equal strength or power argue or
fight.
