Survey participants were asked to rate the effectiveness of different strategies for dealing with bullying on a scale from 1 to 5. The results of the survey, which were checked for reliability and accuracy, indicate that social support and avoidance of aggression are the preferred methods. An analysis of responses from adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 shows that many of them turn to their friends for comfort and support. The correlation coefficient is highest at age 14 (13.044), while the coefficients for ages 12, 15, and 16 (7.593, 12.497, 12.167 respectively) are closer to the average and suggest a moderate relationship between the variables. The lowest correlation coefficient is at age 17 (8.308), indicating a weaker connection between that age group and the ability to seek comfort and support. People have different ways of responding to bullying and defending themselves. Not everyone chooses to confront the bully directly; some seek support and try to avoid conflict. Adolescents who are 14 years old (7.598) seem to be the most willing and able to respond to bullying, likely due to their stronger sense of social support and conflict avoidance strategies. On the other hand, those who are 12, 16, and 17 years old (4.438, 6.021, 5.029) may struggle more with showing empathy and support, possibly because they are more inclined to avoid conflict or lack the necessary skills in this area.
