<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the implementation of the role of Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers in addressing bullying within SMP Negeri 59 in Bandung City. The phenomenon of bullying among students is increasingly prevalent and has become a serious concern due to its impacts on students' psychological and academic development. BK teachers play a strategic role in providing guidance, counseling, and effective interventions to reduce and prevent bullying behaviors. The research method employed is qualitative, with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation. The subjects of the study are BK teachers and students who have experienced bullying at SMP Negeri 59 in Bandung. The findings indicate that the implementation of BK programs in combating bullying has been carried out through various activities such as individual and group counseling sessions, character training, and anti-bullying socialization among students. However, there are challenges such as limited supporting facilities and time constraints faced by BK teachers. Furthermore, the success of the implementation heavily depends on the level of cooperation among BK teachers, students, and school staff. These findings suggest the need for enhancing the competence of BK teachers and strengthening collaboration with relevant stakeholders to improve the effectiveness of bullying prevention and intervention efforts. This research is expected to serve as a reference for developing more effective BK programs in addressing bullying in junior high schools.ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implementasi peran Guru Pembimbing Bimbingan dan Konseling (BK) dalam mengatasi bullying di lingkungan SMP Negeri 59 Kota Bandung.
