This question is about bullying. Bullying happens when one or more students tease, threaten, spread rumors
about, hit, shove or hurt another student. It is not bullying when students of about the same strength or power
argue or fight or tease each other in a friendly way. Bullies are usually stronger, or have more friends or more
money, or some other power over the student being bullied. Usually, bullying happens over and over, or the

Esta pregunta trata sobre la intimidación (bullying). La intimidación ocurre cuando uno o más estudiantes molestan,
amenazan, rumorean sobre, golpean, empujan o lastiman a otro estudiante. La intimidación no aplica a instancias en
que estudiantes con casi la misma fuerza o poder discuten o pelean o se molestan unos a otros de forma amigable.
Quienes practican la intimidación (bullies) generalmente son más fuertes, o tienen más amigos o más dinero, o algún
otro poder sobre el estudiante al que intimidan. La intimidación sucede, generalmente, una y otra vez, o el estudiante
a quien se intimida piensa que podría ocurrir una y otra vez.

insights on how we can improve our efforts to collaborate with schools and recruit more schools to
participate in studies like this. I’d like to ask you some questions about your experience which should
