Bullying Survey Results

Here are the results of the bullying survey:

1.Have you been the victim of bullying at some time during this school year?
   Yes-35%     No-65%

2.Have you bullied someone during this school year?
   Yes-9%      No-91%

3.Have you witnessed someone else being bullied this school year?
   Yes-57%   No-43%

4.What do witnesses or bystanders usually do when they see someone being bullied?
     Unfortunately, the most common answer is that they would do nothing.

5.Do you think that bullying is a problem in out school?
   Yes-48%    No-52%

Not many people in our school are bullies, but over 1/3 of them have been bullied.  Over one half of students in our school have been bystanders to bullying.  About half say that bullying is a problem in out school, so we need to do something about it.  Of course, even the smallest instance of bullying is too much and it needs to be wiped out.

My quote:
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your counrty can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country.  My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."
                                                                              - John F. Kennedy

This quote relates to bullying because you, as a bystander, shouldn't sit around and wait for your school to stop bullying, but go and help to eliminate it yourself.  A country can't accomplish anything without its people, just like a school can't accomplish anything without students.
