The presented herein survey aims at correlating the attitude of students towards bullying incidents at schools with their opinion about the attitude of the adult members of the school community (teachers/guardians) towards the respective incidents. The specific correlation is considered regarding the sex, the grade and the family type of students as well as whether they attend the extra-curricular programmes of Health Education or not. In this survey, 191 students participated, from six schools of the Secondary Education Directorate of West Attica region (Dytiki Attiki, Greece), with random sampling in case of schools and non-proportional quota sampling design, regarding the schools classes, in order to compare results across students who attended or not a Health Education Programme (HEP). The students answered an online questionnaire, which was filled in at the computer laboratory of their school. The questionnaire was based on the revised Olweus Bully Victim Questionnaire (OBVQ) that has been internationally applied to a large number of surveys. For analyzing the results, the SPSS version 21 of the statistical package for Social Sciences has been used.
