The rise of bullying cases in schools is very worrying, especially for victims who often receive bullying committed by their own friends. Individuals who often receive bullying at school experience a number of psychological disorders such as anxiety, loneliness, feeling worthless and feeling unacceptable by their peers. Each individual has a mechanism that can help regulate and direct behavior called self-control. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-control and perceptions of school climate with bullying behavior. Subjects totaled 205 junior high school (SMP) students, sampling using purposive sampling technique. The data collection method used is a Likert scale instrument which has been tested for validity and reliability with Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of self-control 0.904, school climate 0.949 and bullying behavior 0.961. The data obtained were analyzed using regression analysis. The results showed that there was a relationship between self-control and perceptions of school climate with bullying behavior, the F value was 121.059 (p <0.01), so the third hypothesis was accepted. The effective contribution of self-control and school climate perceptions to predict bullying behavior in students was 54.5%, while the remaining 45.5% was influenced by other factors which were not examined in this study. This research is expected to be useful in knowing what predictors are the factors that have a relationship with bullying behavior, so that it can be used as a reference for taking intervention actions to reduce bullying behavior in students
