Primary research-Bullying Survey

Bullying Survey

This shows that 64% of people we asked have been bullied and only 36% haven't, this tells us that bullying happens to a lot of people for many different reasons and most people will experience being bullied at least once in their lives.

This shows that a lot of bullying is either done verbally or on the internet which means that a lot of people will have been called unpleasant things either by mouth, text or social networking, this is less likely to happen if people make sure that they do not give phone numbers to the wrong people and keep their social networking accounts hidden so only real friends and family can contact you.

This tells us that less people have bullied someone than people that have this may be because the people who haven't bullied anyone may have experienced being bullied themselves and know how it feels so they choose not to make others feel the same way they did as they were being bullied, alternatively, people who have already been bullied may bully people because they are angry that they had to be put through it and others didn't.

Most people think bullying is a problem because they may have been through it themselves or their friends or family are being. The people who say it isn't a problem may never have experienced being bullied or may be a bully themselves and think what they are doing is right because its not them having to deal with it. Bullying is a big issue because it can cause depression, people getting hurt and really bad mental health problems so bullying should never be accepted no matter what the circumstances are.

A lot of people answered no to this question because when people see bullying happen they don't do anything about it because they are worried that if they get involved then they may be bullied themselves and they don't want that to happen to them as well. Some people will stop bullying if they see it because they know how it feels and they are not afraid to stop it happening.

A lot of people think that standing by and watching someone get bullied is just as bad as bullying, and in a sense it is because it makes people feel like everyone is against them and they will have nobody to support them so they think they are alone which is not technically true because everyone is bound to be bullied at least once at some point in their lives.

A lot of people who are bullied will do nothing about it and stay quiet because they fear what will happen to them if they tell somebody about it and it may get worse for them and people may bully them more often. But less bullying would happen if everyone who gets bullied speaks to someone about it because bullying can happen to anyone at any age and if you dont tell anyone nothing can be done about it and it may get worse than it already is.
