ENDS 4:Healthy Youth Surveys and Student Voice
•When you feel sad or hopeless, are there adults you can turn to for
help?
•A student is being bullied when another student, or group of students,
say or do nasty or unpleasant things to him or her. It is also bullying
when a student is teased repeatedly in a way he or she doesn’t like. It is
NOT bullying when two students of about the same strength argue or
fight. In the last 30 days, how often have you been bullied?
•I look forward to the future.
I feel good about myself.
•I enjoy being in school?
•Try to do your best work in school?
•My teacher(s) notices when I am doing a good job and lets me know
about it.

and important?
