becomes internal and changes into
physical disorder, becoming unfriendly and
not achieving their goals.

41. A QUESTIONNAIRE
ABOUT BULLYING

42. INTRODUCTION
After having studied the phenomenon of bullying, we
designed a questionnaire through which we tried to identify
its extent at our school.
The students who participated were 15 to 18 years old.
According to their answers 78.9% were observers, 15.5%
victims and 5.6% offenders.

43. OFFENDER

44. It is disappointing the fact that a big percentage acted as an
offender in order to feel strong.

45. It is important to note that there is no cyberbullying in our school at all.

46. Terrifying is the fact that 43.8% felt satisfaction and supremacy
after having acted as offenders.

47. VICTIM

48. Despite the satisfying percentage of pupils who responded that they feel safe at
school, it is remarkable that there is a small percentage of pupils who feel
insecure. We all have the duty to take care of this group.

49. The fact that worries us is that after the incident a large percentage of pupils
did not talk to anyone. This phenomenon shows that the victims perhaps do
not trust the people around them or they feel shameful and do not want to talk
or they are afraid to talk.

50. The majority of the victims do not feel any weakness compared to
the offender, which makes us wonder why they are still victims.

51. OBSERVER

52. It seems that a significant percentage tried to stop the incident and support
the victim.

53. The overwhelming percentage of 85.9% considers bullying as an
important topic which should be examined. This reveals that the
pupils are aware of the importance of bullying.

54. 99% reproaches the act of the offender.
Nevertheless 1% admired the offender. Even this small percentage must keep
us alert.

55. RESISTANCE TO BULLYING
Finally, the questionnaire included two questions which concerned all three
categories. With these questions, we tried to find out if our classmates believe that
some actions should be taken to curb bullying and if they would be involved in
these actions.

56. Τhe majority believes that all the
actions we have mentioned
should be enacted in order to face
and reduce incidents of bullying.
A large percentage believes that if
pupils are properly informed
bullying will be reduced.
The existence of a psychologist
is considered equally important.
A small percentage believes that
good relationships among pupils
will reduce bullying as well as
collaboration with teachers.

57. 60% would agree to participate in a conflict management group among students.
The conclusion we reached is that a large percentage wants to change the
situation and take some kind of action for it.
