Perception Of Bullying In A Rural Independent School District: A Survey Of Pal Students, Edward Randle, Deneece Ferrales, Shaquita Scott

Contemporary Rural Social Work Journal

The objective of this study was to explore students’ perceptions of bullying in intermediate (fifth and sixth grades) and middle school (seventh and eighth grades) students in a rural school in southern Texas. Analysis of student-led and student-developed surveys provided a description of 271 student responses. The results are consistent with previous research but raise some questions about how students perceive bullying and how they perceive themselves or others as victims, bullies, or witnesses.
