Abstract

Negative incidents occur in schools every day, many of which go unnoticed by the schools administration and staff. While many teachers and administrators are oblivious to the negative incidents, such as bullying, students are very aware of the bullying and other negative incidents that occur at their school. This is SchoolTipline’s third year and the purpose of this study was to identify any changes in students responses to a questionnaire regarding their willingness to use a website to report negative school incidences, focusing on bullying. As well as to identify gender differences, or similarities that were expressed from the data.
