Create conversational survey example by chatting with AI.

This is an example of a High School Freshman Student survey about bullying—an AI survey example you can immediately see and try. If you need a faster, smarter way to create or improve your own surveys, give it a look.

It’s tough to design a bullying survey that teens take seriously and one that captures the real story, not just yes/no answers—especially for freshmen starting high school life.

Specific makes conversational, AI-powered surveys simple and effective. Every tool and feature here is part of Specific’s platform, reflecting years of expertise in survey design and response analysis.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for high school freshman students

Gathering real, honest feedback from ninth graders about bullying is always difficult. Typical surveys often fall flat—they can feel formal, stiff, and miss the follow-up context that makes a response truly useful. Many students tune out, skip questions, or leave unclear answers. That’s the big challenge with traditional survey tools.

Using an AI survey generator like Specific, you don’t just send out a static form. The experience is more like a chat: respondents answer, and the AI asks thoughtful follow-ups. The process is quicker, more engaging, and more likely to get at the truth. With so many freshmen (38.2%) experiencing bullying—more than older grades [3]—it’s critical that the initial outreach feels approachable and supportive. Collecting quality feedback early can change outcomes for these students.

Here’s a look at how manual surveys compare to AI-generated conversational surveys:

Manual Surveys

AI-Generated Conversational Surveys

Stiff, formal form questions

Casual, natural chat prompts

Limited or generic follow-ups

Dynamic, tailored follow-up questions

Low engagement, skipped answers

Higher completion rates, richer replies

Manual set-up and editing

Edit or expand surveys with simple instructions

Manual response analysis

Automated summaries and insights

Why use AI for high school freshman student surveys?

  • AI-driven wording means students understand what’s being asked—helpful when dealing with sensitive topics like bullying.

  • Automatic follow-up questions dig deeper, so you get more complete stories and less surface-level data.

  • Teens are used to chatting, not filling in forms. Conversational surveys feel more natural.

  • With nearly 34% of teens aged 12–17 reporting bullying in the last year [1], the right survey approach isn’t a “nice to have”—it’s essential.

Specific delivers the smoothest, most user-friendly conversational survey experience, both for survey creators and for high school student respondents. If you’re curious about crafting better, more insightful bullying surveys, you can try creating a custom survey from scratch or follow our how-to guide focused on high school freshman student surveys about bullying.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

One of the standout features in Specific is AI-powered follow-up questions, generated live based on each student’s answer and context. This matters a lot—freshmen often give short, unclear replies (sometimes because they’re nervous or unsure). The AI digs deeper like a good interviewer, leading to richer, more honest insight—without you lifting a finger. For example, if you sent out a typical survey, here’s what you might get:

  • Student: "People are sometimes mean to me, I guess."

  • AI follow-up: "Can you tell me about a recent time when someone was mean to you? What happened and how did it make you feel?"

If you don’t ask these follow-ups, responses stay generic and hard to interpret. Automated probing questions from Specific feel conversational, and they dramatically boost the detail you get—no awkward email or in-person follow-ups needed (learn more about follow-ups). These are a game changer. Try generating a survey yourself to experience the difference.

In short: follow-up questions transform a basic survey into a real conversation—that’s what makes it a conversational survey.

Easy editing, like magic

Making changes to your survey shouldn’t be difficult or slow. With Specific, you edit surveys by simply describing what you want to change, right in the chat. The AI survey editor instantly updates your content, tweaks instructions, or adds questions, informed by expert best practices (see how easy editing works). No messing with fiddly forms or logic trees. Most edits are done in seconds, not hours. We make survey creation about your ideas—not endless admin work.

Delivery, sharing, and in-product survey options

You have two straightforward delivery methods, each tailored to how and where you want to reach high school freshman students about bullying:

  • Sharable landing page surveys. Great when you want students to participate anonymously or outside a classroom setting—just send a link via email or school messenger.

  • In-product surveys. Perfect for schools or edtech apps—let freshmen respond to surveys directly inside the software they already use. No extra downloads, no friction.

For sensitive topics like bullying, anonymous landing page surveys often help students open up, leading to more truthful responses. But if your school already uses portals or apps, in-product surveys make participation seamless.

AI-powered survey analysis

Once you’ve collected feedback, Specific’s AI survey analysis tool turns those conversations into clear, actionable insights within seconds. It summarizes long responses, spots repeated topics, and uncovers trends—no spreadsheet wrangling required. You can even chat directly with the AI about your results or drill into demographic patterns (how to analyze high school freshman student bullying survey responses with AI).

This means automated survey insights, instant themes, and key trends—without manual data crunching or analyst skills. For high school bullying surveys, that means quicker action and more impact where it matters most.
