Edukasi Pencegahan Bullying pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar di SDN 40 Kota Bengkulu

Abstract

Bullying is one of the problems that needs to be prevented from an early age because it can interfere with children’s physical, psychological, social, and learning development. Elementary school students need to understand the forms of bullying, its possible impacts, and appropriate ways to respond when bullying occurs. This community service activity aimed to provide sixth-grade students at SDN 40 Kota Bengkulu with basic knowledge about bullying and encourage respectful, empathetic, and non-violent behavior toward peers. The activity was conducted on August 19, 2026 at 10.00 WIB, involving 30 sixth-grade students, and lasted approximately one hour. The method used was direct education and socialization supported by presentation materials and visual media. The material covered the meaning of bullying, physical, verbal, social, and cyberbullying, the impacts of bullying, and preventive actions that students can take. The activity was delivered through explanations, examples, interaction with students, and discussion. The results of the activity showed that students participated in the learning process and responded to the examples and discussion presented. The activity is expected to strengthen students’ initial awareness that bullying is not an appropriate form of interaction and that a safe school environment requires mutual respect and care
