This study (survey) is open to all adults, aged 18 and over.

All responses are completely anonymous. The study will be briefly explained both before you begin the survey and after completion.

You will be asked to complete an online survey which will take approximately 10 -15 minutes to complete.

Please note that only surveys that are completed and submitted using the submit button at end of survey, can be used. If you close your browser, the survey will be incomplete. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/bullying_and_well-being

Iam in:)....lets hear what you have to say.

Planet3

bullying is a thing..'we' dont talk about
its a sign of weakness..[apparently]

so im not whining..but
i 'let' people walk all over me..cause i dont like to create a fuss
but im not about to tell the whole world about it..or even worse have it in private hands

so sorry i cant take the survey
ijust know i will only half fill-out..lol
after first no doubt giving all my personal info..isp..etc

it would reveal far too much
without any chance of changing the bully

The rise of the bully promotes the rise of the social councilors and in turn is another one of those non productive ghost employment programs like indigenous ranger programs and traffic controllers.
If you meet a "bully" fight back.If your too weak to then call the police. Bullies are part of growing up.
The first bully I ever met I threw him down the stairs at school. He and no one else ever bothered me again. He was a teacher.
Toughen up and get out of the public purse.

The first directive of any anti-bullying campaign is to convince people they are victims of bullying.

Nothing has changed in the area of 'bullying' for a hundred years, except for soft science junkies needing to raise awareness and get some funding for their pet cause.

The people dedicating their life to studying 'bullying' are hardly going to design surveys that will de-legitimize their chosen area of study. I suppose it's irrelevant, as they will interpret the responses however they like anyway.

Those disposed to asserting they are being bullied are often control freak bullies themselves.

What bunch of hypocrites you are….you bully each other all the time. You want to see a real bully, go look in the mirror:)……..FUBAR

Planet

As long as there is money and/or sympathy in being bullied there will be "victims" and more so there will be the droves of "soft science junkies" hanging around the honey pot.
Like I say, If you have a real bully issue take it to the police, it's called assault.

Just one comment - otherwise I'd be here all night...

A statement on the initial post: "As many know..i fully validate evolution of species BUT NOT EVOLUTION OF NEW GENUS..so i think this adds to my case if not please provide science..[name one evolutionarily new genus."

This is a misunderstanding of the difference between the nature of the categories species and genus. The species is the basic biological / evolutionary group. The genus is a human construct - a category for grouping species that are similar, and so are probably closely related (ie. evolved apart fairly recently).

A genus is fairly arbitrary and different biologists will create different genera by grouping related species in different ways. There are even terms for this: splitters v. lumpers. The former separate related species into lots of different genera, the latter are more parsimonious. Neither is right or wrong, and a biologist can use either version, stating (or implying) the system being followed. Over time, one version tends to get broadly accepted as the best way of categorising related species.

So if you look at older zoological papers, you'll find all the big kangaroos, big wallabies and some smaller wallabies were placed in the genus Macropus. Now they would be grouped into several genera: Macropus, Wallabia (or Protemnodon) and Thylogale (plus a couple of others I can't remember). In between, each of the big kangaroos, the greys, red and euro were for a time each put in a separate genera.

The only way genera 'evolve' is in the changing categorisation by biologists as knowledge and understanding improves.

dear Cossomby,you sound very knowledgeable to my topic
so i have replied you at the topic

further thoughts to this one
relate to the poor me..type dependent or vengeful persona
[some need to play the victim card..they cant help themselves

Grouch Marx admirably and succinctly summed up the “bullying” nature of our souls with this line from one of his movies:

“Hey you big bully, leave that little bully alone.”

I'll do the survey, but I'll bet there's no question about the bullying that's intrinsic to some of the statutes we have to deal with as citizens, nor about the vicious bullying by organised mobbing of men like myself who have been vocal in pointing out some of the inequities that our feminist ideological social "justice" model perpetuates.

Well, I was wrong.
