Summary There are many children who cannot attend school, as they will spend much of their time in the nurse's office if they do. Some children suffer at school due to peer bullying or other unhealthy relationships. How many children do not enjoy school because they find it unpleasant, and what is the background to this uncomfortable situation? This survey was conducted to examine whether school is a place of self-realization for children and to ascertain the degree to which children find school to be a comfortable locale.
