This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "I stood up to the bully or fought back" by the number of respondents who answered at least one of the following "I ignored it, I stood up to the bully or fought back, I tried talking to the bully, I told an adult at the school about it, I told my parents/guardians or another adult outside of school about it, I told another student about it, I tried to help the person being bullied or I did something else" to the question: Think of the last time you saw or heard another student being bullied. What did you do?
