High School Sophomore Student survey about bullying and harassment

Create expert-level survey by chatting with AI.

It’s hard to get honest, detailed feedback about bullying and harassment from high school sophomores using traditional surveys. That’s why you can generate a custom AI-powered survey right here, in seconds—just click and go. Specific makes it simple, direct, and impactful.

Why these surveys really matter

If we don’t create the right kind of bullying and harassment survey for high school sophomores, we miss out on insights that actually help students stay safe—and feel heard. The problem is bigger than we think: almost 1 in 5 students (19.2%) aged 12–18 reported being bullied during the 2021–2022 school year[1].

Those numbers only get worse online. 21.6% of bullied students experienced it by text or online, and 15.9% of all high schoolers reported being electronically bullied[2]. The stats are higher for girls (20.5%) and even more concerning for LGBTQ+ students, who are twice as likely as their peers to be targeted both in-person and online[3].

  • Miss the right questions, and you’ll miss what actually happens—inside classrooms, on social media, or in the hallway.

  • Without student voice, schools can’t spot patterns early or respond with the right interventions.

  • If we don't ask, most students simply won’t tell adults: only 44.2% of bullied students actually notify staff[1].

Getting solid, actionable feedback from sophomores means they need a safe, intuitive, and conversational format—a form that feels less like homework and more like a real talk. That's exactly what Specific's conversational surveys deliver. For more on survey design, read best questions for high school sophomore surveys about bullying and harassment.

The power of an AI survey generator

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Most traditional survey forms are clunky, generic, and take too long to build. What sets an AI survey generator apart is not just speed—it’s how easily you get surveys that ask the right questions, probe for context, and actually engage sophomores where they are.

Here’s how manual survey building stacks up against AI-powered generation:

Manual Survey

AI Survey Generator

Weeks spent drafting and editing

Survey ready in seconds

Guesswork in question quality

Expert-backed question logic, every time

No automatic follow-ups

Real-time, AI-generated probing for deeper insight

Boring, form-like experience

Conversational, engaging chat format

Why use AI for high school sophomore student surveys?

  • AI survey generators instantly craft questions specific to bullying, online harassment, and emotional safety—no expertise required.

  • AI can dynamically adapt, asking clarifying follow-ups so you never get stuck with bland responses.

  • AI handles both question-building and response analysis, so you get more from your data—and your students.

On Specific, survey creation is a guided chat: you describe what you want, and the AI survey builder does the heavy lifting. Plus, conversational AI surveys aren’t just easier to build—they’re more engaging for students and simpler for staff to analyze.

Designing questions that lead to real answers

We’ve all seen surveys full of vague or leading questions: “Do you feel safe at school?” is important—but it often gets a quick “yes/no” that doesn’t help us go deeper. Here’s a side-by-side:

  • Bad: “Is bullying a problem at your school?”

  • Good: “Can you share a recent experience when you or someone you know felt bullied or excluded, either in-person or online?”

Specific’s AI understands context and guides every survey creator to avoid those common survey pitfalls: ambiguous language, double-barreled questions, or loaded wording. We know a good survey should:

  • Give students room to express—not just check a box

  • Probe for concrete examples or emotions (“Tell me more…”)

  • Adapt to each answer, making every conversation feel natural

One simple tip before creating your survey: focus on open-ended prompts and avoid yes/no traps.

But if you’d rather save time and let the AI do it—just use Specific, and you’re covered.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

This is where Specific’s AI really shines for high school sophomore bullying surveys. Instead of sticking to a fixed set of questions, it follows up in real time, based on what a student actually says. This means:

  • The survey becomes a two-way conversation—not a dry form

  • AI can clarify vague answers or gently dig for more detail

  • Staff don’t have to spend hours emailing back and forth with follow-ups

What happens if you skip follow-ups? You get responses like:

  • High school sophomore: “Yeah, bullying happens online sometimes.”

  • AI follow-up: “Can you tell me what platforms or apps you've noticed this on—or was it through texts?”

  • High school sophomore: “A group of students acts mean at lunch.”

  • AI follow-up: “What kind of things do they do or say at lunch that make you or others feel uncomfortable?”

Without smart follow-ups, you risk missing context and misunderstandings about whether the bullying is physical, verbal, or digital. Want to see the difference for yourself? Generate a survey here and experience how Specific’s automatic follow-up questions dig deeper for richer insight. More detail here: automatic AI follow-up questions.

Follow-ups make surveys truly conversational—the key to getting honest, detailed feedback from students.

How to deliver your bullying and harassment survey

Getting your survey to the right audience matters—so Specific offers both:

  • Sharable landing page surveys

    – Just share a link via email, school portal, or student group chat. Perfect when you want to reach high school sophomores wherever they are—at home, in after-school programs, or even as an anonymous pulse check.

  • In-product surveys

    – Embed the survey right in your learning management system (LMS) or a school portal app, so sophomores can respond without leaving their digital environment. Great for in-context feedback on bullying policies or reporting tools.

For sensitive topics like bullying and harassment, landing page surveys often make more sense—students feel safer answering outside of official school platforms. But if your school runs on a digital classroom hub, in-product delivery makes it seamless and hard to miss.

Analyzing survey responses—with real AI

Specific uses AI survey analysis to instantly process all responses: you get automatic themes, quick summaries, and actionable insights—without digging through spreadsheets. Features like real-time topic detection and the chance to chat with AI about your data mean you’ll never miss key patterns or silent trends. Want to see how it works? Here’s a guide on how to analyze High School Sophomore Student bullying and harassment survey responses with AI.
