The purpose of this study was to ascertain the extent to which students in a rural Arkansas school district felt that bullying existed in their school. One hundred seventh grade students and 150 eighth grade students in a middle school were surveyed by a Likert questionnaire of ten items. Measures were taken to insure that students of all demographics including special needs students could answer the question with anonymity and with privacy. Results showed that in this rural school, mental/emotional bullying took place to a greater degree than physical bullying. Only 24 admitted to having ever bullied anyone but 58% admitted to having been bullied. Probably coincidental to the study, within days the Arkansas Legislature enacted legislation making bullying a crime and mandating anti-bullying posters be put up in every school district in the state. Appended are: (1) Proposal Letter and Proposal; (2) Principal Letter and Disclosure Form; (3) Permission Slip and Instruction Letter; and (4) Survey Form and Instruction Letter. (Contains 2 tables.)
