2. As a group we set up a questionnaire consisting of 14 questions about the
Beatbullying organisation, and also about the issue of bullying. We asked 40
students aged 16-18 to complete the questionaire. From our results we were
able to see whether people had heard of the ‘beatbullying’ organisation, and
also whether that had used any of their services. Also we were able to find out
what they would define bullying as, and what they believe are the reasons that
people get bullied.

16. 
From the results we have found out that they age group is between 16-19
and we asked more male than female and the majority of the people
lived in Dunstable. They would say that the definition of bullying would
be constantly picking on someone and hurting them mentally and
physically. From some stories we have heard that people bully because
others are different whether that be race, weight looks mainly because
someone standout from the crowd. The main media preference is
internet which is were cyber-bullying happens and some people said they
have been bullied or know someone that has been bullied online. About
¾ have seen a bullying advert and people said the more serious and real
the advert is the more effective it can be because it is an emotional
message. The majority of the people have not heard of beatbullying and
the five people that said yes have never used the website. For an advert
people would want to see real stories with people getting bullied and
people seeing the consequences of what bulling can do to someone over
time.
