My student wants to look at parental and peer support and their relationship with bullying for LGBT adolescents/emerging adults.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a short questionnaire about bullying that she might be able to use?
Hello, this is a great resource for finding suitable bullying measures:
http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/bullycompendium-a.pdf
It also includes measures for LGBT specific victimisation, which could be adapted to suit the research.

There one can find what can be done about bullying at the peer level which is probably the most effective kind of prevention. The Bullying Beliefs Questionnaire consists of 7 short questions children may answer in the affirmative, negative, or circumstantial permissible responses. Children can be very cruel, but when faced with social contracts or moral choices that impinge upon who an individual believes his/her self to be, the need to belong usually drives the actor to identify as a protector rather than a perpetrator.
