Abstract

Bullying is a critical issue in schools that negatively affects students' emotional, social, and academic well-being. Victims of bullying often experience aggression, frustration, and long-term psychological distress. Efforts to mitigate bullying require educational interventions that promote awareness and empathy. This community service program was conducted at UPTD SD Negeri 5 Parepare to enhance students' understanding of bullying and its impacts. The intervention involved an educational session covering the definition, types of bullying (physical, verbal, relational, cyber, and prejudicial), its consequences, and strategies for prevention and intervention. Interactive discussions were also included to encourage student participation and reflection. The program effectively increased students' awareness of bullying, its negative effects, and the importance of fostering a respectful and inclusive school environment. Participants demonstrated improved understanding and engagement in discussions about preventing bullying. The findings highlight the significance of educational programs in shaping students' attitudes toward bullying prevention. Continued implementation of such initiatives is essential for promoting a school culture that prioritizes empathy, respect, and support among peers. This community service program successfully enhanced students' knowledge of bullying and encouraged positive behavioral changes. Future initiatives should expand the scope and frequency of such activities to ensure long-term sustainability in bullying prevention efforts.
