Alfira Candra Sabita, Santy Dinar Permata

Abstract


This study aims to identify the views of elementary school students regarding bullying behavior in the school area, as well as to find out the types, effects, and responses of students to bullying incidents. The technique applied is a qualitative approach with a case study type, which is carried out on 5th grade students of SD Negeri Arjowilangun 05. Information was obtained through semi-structured interviews, , and observations. The results indicate that students' understanding of bullying still varies, especially in distinguishing between jokes and hurtful acts. Many students consider ridicule or jokes to be commonplace, until the effect becomes painful. The types of bullying that are often encountered are verbal, relational, and physical bullying, as well as on a smaller scale such as cyberbullying. Fear embarrassment, and low trust in teachers are the main reasons why students are hesitant to report. Students suggested increased supervision from teachers, education about bullying, and the creation of safe places to report. The study emphasizes the significance of education, active participation of schools, and the creation of a supportive environment to prevent and address bullying in the first place.
