Bullying Questionnaire
Bullying is when one child is repeatedly exposed to harassment and attacks from one or several
other children. Harassment and attacks may be for example shoving or hitting the other one,
calling him/her names, or making jokes about him/her, leaving him/her outside the group, taking
his/her things or any other behaviour meant to hurt the other one. It is not bullying when two
students of equal strength or equal power have a fight or when someone is occasionally teased
but it is bullying when the feelings of one and the same student are intentionally and repeatedly
hurt.
