Cooper 4th Grade Bully Prevention Student Survey
Here are some questions about being bullied by other students. We say a student is being bullied when another person, 1. says mean or hurtful things or makes fun of him or her or calls him or her mean and hurtful names, 2. completely ignores or excludes him or her from their group of friends or leaves him or her out of things on purpose, 3. hits, kicks, pushes, shoves around or locks him or her inside a room, 4. tells lies or spreads false rumors about him or her or sends mean notes and tries to make other students dislike him or her.
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. 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.
