Questions and instructions

Question pretext
The next question asks about physical attacks. A physical attack occurs when one or more people hit or strike someone, or when one or more people hurt another person with a weapon (such as a stick, knife, or gun). It is not a physical attack when two students of about the same strength or power choose to fight each other.
Literal question
During the past 12 months, how many times were you physically attacked?
