Questionnaire responses were analyzed by age and gender using statistics. Results: Young people (90.8 %) and parents (88.7 %) thought it was important for general practices to be better able to help young people who are being bullied. Young people preferred completing a screening questionnaire to disclose experience of being bullied than being asked directly. They expressed personal concerns about how questions would be asked and whether information would be shared with
